Lives Changed by Christ

When I first came to this ministry. I was overwhelmed with depression living in a one bedroom apartment with 5 children not very hopeful about the future. I was barely making ends meet, when I first met Pastor McClellan. At the time I was considering doing counseling with her, but God had other plans for me. Pastor McClellan invited me to the prayers line, and every since I have up every morning at 5am to pray on the prayer line. At first, I admit it was hard but it is still a commitment I am proud that I made. Making the change to communicate with God before anyone else it did wonders for my life and my relationship with God, which brought me to joining the church. My life began to change, and I witness The Power of God and how he moves in this church and these women of faith. You can't help but feel the presence of God and be changed by it. I began to be delivered from depression. Then, by the prayers of Pastor McClellan and others, I would be given a home that I would not have to buy anything that I needed for the home. This was prophesied to me by Pastor McClellan and came to pass through their continuous prayers I was able to get a SUV, that could fit all 5 of my girls comfortably in. This ministry is a hidden gem and if you're blessed to find it hold on to it and don't let go. I am happy to say I have been a part of the ministry for 4 years now and plan on being in it until God takes me home. This ministry has helped me to overcome the spirit of fear to overcome unbelief, which is something I used to struggle with very strongly. I have truly gained an understanding the power of prayer, faith, and fasting from this ministry. This ministry is dedicated to the roots of what the word God says and understands the formula. Being a part of this ministry your life will see it go Up. It has only been 2 years and my life has changed drastically for the good. I am excited to see what God has not only in store for me next but for others that join as well. God Bless You!

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Lives Changed by Christ

When I first attended the ministry I was dealing with really bad knees to the point I had a lot of trouble walking. The first time I stepped foot into this ministry, I experienced the healing power of God like never before. For the first time in years I was able to walk again without the walker because He had healed my knees. My desire to serve the Lord and to get him better has increased, I'm so grateful to see the other doors that God is opening up for my family and me. God is good. Jesus is Lord.

John 10:10

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Lives Changed by Christ

My testimony is vast so I will be sharing it in a shortened version. I became a Christian in 1987. At the time I was addicted to alcohol, codeine cough medicine, smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day, had a serious anger problem, couldn’t stop cursing, back disorder, was dating at least two men at a time requiring they pay my bills, eating disorder and more. I was delivered from the above except for the eating disorder, illnesses in my legs, excessive debt, employment problems in receiving fair timely compensation when I came under the Overseer as a pastor I currently serve under now in 2003. Since then I enjoy a very heavy covering of the anointing over my head because of the Holy Ghost operating within my leader and I have and receive powerful prayers. My life has and is transforming. I no longer have an eating disorder and in the year have lost over 70 pounds and losing. My legs are recovering where I no longer need a walker or cane and began tennis lessons and workouts at the gym weekly. Money is plentiful and I am a business owner in a successful, full time private practice. I have grown much stronger in ministry and finally am a great benefit to the Body of Christ witnessed by my church family/ leadership. I truly praise God for the journey and even the hard times through out proved to be very valuable. I have the best leader that I never could had picked for myself. God orchestrated my life where I am. I have more to accomplish but this life in Christ Jesus is the only life I desire. He’s truly my Lord and my God. Jesus is Lord over my life.
