Being led by God’s direction, he went on to obtain a Master of Divinity degree at Morehouse School of Religion/ITC in Atlanta, Georgia; continuing his journey at Howard University in Washington, D.C. to work on his Doctor of Divinity.

Pilgrim Baptist Church in Lugo ff, SC, under the leadership of Dr. Andrew Thomas where Minister Wright was last affiliated. He was instrumental in the youth ministry having a passion for children and helped with their tutoring program.

Minister Wright was a dedicated servant who was inspired to carry out the word of God. He believed that his faith in God gave him the strength to endure obstacles that sometimes seemed impossible and loved helping and encouraging others. As his story was written throughout life, he was constantly reminded that there would be, and were mountains that he would have to face. Still, he stood firmly on one of his favorite mottos, “If you have a high mountain, climb it by prayer or remove it by faith.”

He was preceded in death by his sister, Monica Wright Wilson; paternal and maternal grandparents: Evans Wright Sr., Yneather Wright, Walter Reid Sr., and Nellie Reid.
