| About the Church | | "Winning Souls For Christ"
The Lord has enlarged our territory and taken us out of our comfort zone and called us to go out on the highways and byways and reach the lost souls. The Lord recently moved the church next to a liquor store. First, I really felt bad but when the Lord let me know that we were there to reach the alcoholics, drug addicts & the homeless, I was okay. We have just expanded the ministry to feed the homeless. We are reaching out for help from other organizations and families in the community to help the less fortunate and the lost souls. Our goal is not just to feed them, but to lead them unto the source (Christ), we want to not just feed the natural food, but spiritual food & also counsel each individual to see what their needs are & how we can assist them. We are seeking to train them on the computers and for job interviews etc.. We believe in helping all of our sisters and brothers without discrimination because God is love and if His spirit dwells in us, we shall display the love of our heavenly Father. God bless

| | About Pastor Williamson |  | | To God be the Glory. It is a blessing to share my testimony. One day I had a vision that I was standng in the middle of the congregation preaching the gospel. I wold wake up with my heart racing as if I had a nightmare. Whenever I told someone about it they would say "what's so bad about that?" To me it was really bad because I couldn't se my self ever speaking in front of thousands of people because I was really shy, needless to say I didn't ask to preach. My grandfather is a pastor, and I watched him growing up and all I remember, was seeing him go to work, come home, eat, read the bible and pray all day. It was so boring to me. I said "Lord, I haven't even lived my life yet, I've been a good girl and would like to experience singing R&B music. I really had a problem receiving my call. I denied the vision and said "it was just a bad dream" but I kept having the same dream of me preaching, that it happened so often that I knew that God had something to do with it. I began to cry and would keep denying that God is calling me to preach. I cried and said "No I can't do that. I was visiting other churches and the pastor would prophesy to me by saying "God said, stop running." I still didn't know exactly what he wanted me to do at this point I just thought He wanted me in church full-time, but I said "wait a minute, I have been attending church for a while and never missed a day; I attended services sun. 9 am sunday school/new member orientation, 11 am service, 6 pm evening service, Wed. night bible study, Mon. prayer service at 7 am, I paid my tithes and offering faithfully and cheerfully, so I didn't understand what more God wanted from me. Within six months in church I applied every word that I received and the Lord began toexpedite me without me knowing. I began to just share my story with people in the grocery store, the mall, stores and other places that I went. I didn't realize that I was witnesses. It became a part of me and I was blessed in my spirit each time I told someone about Jesus. Shortly after, I received the gift of tongues, & the gift of healing, and prophesy. I didn't understand that there was a gift of faith until I basically dealt with encouraging leaders to trust God for the provision. I began to trust God in ways that the natural man couldn't comprehend and people thought I was crazy. My son had a motorcycle accident at the age of 13, he was pronounced dead and airlifted to the Children's Hospital. He was cut from ear to ear to reconstruct his whole face, his jaw, nose and eyes had to be redone, shattered ribs & left arm, tubes in each side of his chest, trache in his throat, blood transfusion, and on life support while in a coma for a few weeks. A prophet came to the hospital and said "The Lord said, that you and your son has just given birth to your ministry. I said " what ministry? I haven't been ordained by my pastor, I'm just a babe in Christ who love the Lord with all of my heart, mind, body & soul. I realized that I was on an assignment from God while in the hospital, because the Holy Spirit kept leading me to pray for other children and lay hands on them & GOD healed them. Each time I did as God instructed me & I would go back to my son's bed, the doctor would come back clapping and saying that he didn't understand why my son didn't need brain surgery because he was bleeding in six places in his brain because it was swollen so bad. A hole was drilled at the top of his brain to monitor the pressure. God wanted the glory for my son's healing and he did. By the time God healed all of the children in ICU, including my son, everyone of them was a believer. The doctor's and nurses would come in the room clapping and thanking me for ministering to the families as they came in with no hope. I made sure that each one knew that it wasn't me, that it was God and God alone that gets the glory. I remember going into the hospital and not recognizing my son, because he was swollen so bad. The Holy Spirit led me to ask the doctor to allow me to lay hands on my son and pray as they pushed his stretcher to the elevator to take him to surgery. After walking him to the elevator and praying in the spirit I didn't go any further, I had perfect peace and I wasn't worried at all. I was so happy that my unsaved loved ones was upset because I was laughing and praying for others as if I didn't love my son because I wasn't weeping for my son. I knew that God healed him, and I saw him in the spirit as whole. God showed me that He had anointed my son to play professional basketball, so I know that no matter what condition that he was in that it would soon pass. I lived in the hospital for two months, I lost everything to be with my son. I didn't know where we were going to live when we left the hospital but it didn't bother me and didn't take my joy. The Lord sent us to PA, right after we got out of the hospital and I had a problem with it because I didn't know where I was going to live, I had less than $300 in my pocket, no family or friends there, no resources, church, no connections there at all. When I told the pastor, he couldn't understand why I would want to take my son on the road after he had just left the hospital. I explained to him that I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I know God's voice. No one could believe me until I went to PA and our whole lives changed. The Lord blessed us with a place to stay 15 miles before we made it to PA. A woman that I had been praying for over the phone which just happened to live in PA, called me and I told her where I was, and she said you're staying with me. God just wanted me to step out in faith, after that I can use faith without limits. I could never understand why other people that have been in ministry for years couldn't understand how I could operate in crazy faith, but God has never let me down. After a year in PA, I came back to Miami and met my husband in the pulpit. It happened so fast, that God blew our minds. We have been started our ministry as God has called us to and been pastoring for a little over a year. May the Lord bless you as He has promised.
