A look at the practice of the presence of God and the process of learning more about Him. How we got started After having traveled nationally and internationally as a full-time evangelist for more than 17 years, Elder Matthew Barnes yielded to the calling of the Lord to establish a pastoral ministry. Evangelist Barnes began to be impressed about the location of the church being in the West Tampa area, and the group began to petition and seek the Lord concerning the matter. In a matter of days our current site in the Carver City community was located and doors began to open. The Lord has been very gracious to us every day since.
Carver City is a very green field and ready for a message of substance.
We have taken some years to prepare, but God has given us the command to go forward and begin to reap the harvest NOW . We stand on the brink of our destiny, poised to take our Jerusalem for the Lord. Our Judea and Samaria are not far away. About Our Leader Matthew Q. Barnes, Jr., was a child of the church from his birth and saved at age 9, being baptized in the Holy Ghost soon thereafter. College educated, he was called upon to serve as a medic in the Vietnam War, physically working to save the lives of others while soldiers risked their lives for him.
