Furthering his education at Delaware State University, he later served in the United States Army for three years. He participated in Ranger Training and successfully completed the course. Apostle Johnson fell in love with his classmate and best friend Fern Elaine Webster. They were united in Holy Matrimony on August 8, 1981. From this union four children were born (Sondeania, Theressa, Rudina and Rudolph Johnson, Jr.).

The call to the preached word ministry came to Apostle Johnson in 1982. Shortly thereafter, Apostle connected with the New Pentecostal U.H.C. of America, under the leadership of the late Dr. Louvenia Dickerson who instructed him through ministry. His initial message was delivered December 19, 1991. With the desire to show himself approved; Apostle Johnson pursued other studies that would support him in the ministerial work. He received a bachelor's degree at the United Christian College.

In 1999, Apostle answered the clarion call to the Pastoral Ministry, establishing the Restoration World Ministries, Inc. which is now Restoration Natsarim Hebraic Assembly in Belcamp, MD, Overseed by the Late Rabbi Raymond P.

Two of his favorite Scriptures are Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of Yah, and his righteousness and all things shall be added unto you”. Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”.
