A Journey of Transformation
Born on April 24th, 1977, Courie Gayle is a multifaceted individual— a rap artist, drummer, entrepreneur, financial planner, and author. He has experienced a remarkable transformation that he feels compelled to share. Courie credits his spiritual parents, Pastor Mark and Andrea Choate, for reshaping his life over eight impactful years.
Overcoming Adversity
At just 12 years old, Courie was involved in a tragic car accident that claimed his mother’s life in a traumatic way. This event had a profound impact on the person he would become. Despite these struggles, Courie became a financially successful entrepreneur with his own mortgage company. However, during the Great Recession of 2008, he lost everything.
Turning Struggles into Strength
Despite his financial hardships, Courie remained hopeful by fasting, praying, and tithing, regardless of his debts. Driven by a desire to help others avoid similar struggles, he became a successful financial planner. Today, he is married to his wife, Katrina, and together they have raised five wonderful children—Kori, Leila, Corrina, Kobe, and Christian—along with three beautiful grandchildren. Courie cherishes his growing family, viewing them as a “living testament to the blessings that have unfolded.”
"Through trials and tribulations, I found my purpose. It's all about serving God and spreading His word."
Mission and Vision
Courie’s main purpose is to serve God and spread the gospel through his book, You Don’t Need a Dictionary To Talk To God, which contains 37 unique testimonies, including his own. Interestingly, the book's production was credited to Mark, an atheist Hollywood producer, highlighting how God can use anyone to spread His message.
Empowering Others Through Business
To further this mission, Courie founded Courie Gayle LLC & Business Ministry Group, aimed at helping businesses achieve success overnight. He describes his team as “go-getters who follow biblical principles in all that they do,” and he refers to his business as a “business amplifier.” Courie feels blessed with an amazing staff that aids him in accomplishing his vision of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide.
Looking to the Future
Looking ahead, Courie plans to travel the world for speaking engagements, connecting with influencers to amplify the good news of Jesus Christ. He believes that his book may evolve into a Christian TV series, further extending his outreach. Courie's company has expanded its product offerings to include popcorn and coffee, with plans to branch into life insurance. His motto is, “God first, family second, handle your business.” Courie also allocates radio time to give exposure to partner companies.
Core Beliefs and Values
Courie's goal is to share the gospel, giving his salespeople 100% commission on the net profit for each book sold. His guiding principle is encapsulated in Matthew 6:33 (KJV): “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all things shall be added unto you.”
A Strong Support System
Courie credits his spiritual growth to the unwavering support and empowerment from his spiritual family at the NEP House of Praise in Manchester, NH. His music can be found on Spotify, TuneCore, YouTube, and iTunes, while his book is available on Amazon.
