Patrick and Dee Vandiver are a dynamic husband & wife ministry team whose purpose and call is to share the love of Jesus to the world from the pulpit and the piano. They married in March of 2017 while Patrick was working full-time at Eagle Mountain International Church in Fort Worth. In January of 2018, sensing the call to be in ministry together, Patrick and Dee launched Vandiver Ministries International and began full-time traveling ministry, serving through music and teaching of The Gospel in local churches, Bible schools and conferences all over the world.

The Vandivers currently make their home in Fort Worth TX.

A native of Georgia and deeply influenced by his musically talented family members as a child, Patrick learned to play the piano by ear at a very young age and eventually became classically trained. He has played in church since he was a young teenager and studied music at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida before joining the staff of Kenneth Hagin Ministries in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1985, serving on Kenneth E. Hagin’s crusade team for over 7 years and graduating from RHEMA in 1993.  He later returned to his home state of Georgia where he served as worship leader for Word of Life Church near Augusta, Georgia, followed by eight years of full-time traveling ministry.  In 2008, he returned to Tulsa to join the staff of RHEMA where he served as a worship leader, musician and arranger at RHEMA Bible Church, and also as an instructor in the RHEMA School of Worship. In 2016, Patrick joined the staff of Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark, Texas as Worship Pastor. In March of 2017, Patrick married his lovely wife, Dee, with whom he now travels in full-time ministry.

Dee was raised on teachings of The Word of Faith by Kenneth E. Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and also Oral Roberts while attending ORU in the early 1980s. She is a student of prayer, attributing this education and the practical application of prayer to the ministry of Dr. Billye Brim, Martha & Clyde McGee, Rachel Teafatiller and other seasoned pray-ers. While a student at ORU Dee participated in a "study abroad program" in Paris, France at the Sorbonne University to further her French Language degree plan. In the early 90's she graduated from VWMTC (Victory World Missions Training Center) at Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, OK and began work as a missionary to Eternal Word Christian Center in Brussels, Belgium working there as the church office administrator and in other capacities. Dee enjoys sharing the Love of Jesus and has a heart for missions. Since she and Patrick began the full-time traveling ministry in 2018, she has enjoyed opportunities to teach from the pulpit while Patrick ministers from the piano.
