Apostle Prentice Mandrell Aiken, Sr.

 In 2005, God gave him the vision to establish High Calling Ministries International. At this time, it was an evangelistic ministry allowing this young preacher to travel far and near preaching the Word and operating with his GOD given gifts, sharing with many throughout the body of Christ. 

 Mandrell Aiken was born on November 26, 1973, to Raymond and Belvion Aiken, in Antreville, SC merely as a man. At the early age of 4 years old a talent of singing was discovered that GOD had gifted this young man with a GODLY purpose to serve HIM. He also started playing the drums at the age of 6 years old.

At the age of 11 years old he wanted to do more with his musical talents so he gained interest in playing the bass guitar. This was accomplished by the teaching of his big brother Bishop Rico M. Aiken, Sr. At this brother duo joined their father and began a singing ministry with their father. 

The group known as the Aiken Family was formed after the mother’s work schedule to change and she became able to be a part of this powerful singing Ministry. Later in life, he found himself serving in many capacities of ministries from directing choirs, and starting other bands with his brother.
