We are Honored by God at Power House Ministries to invoke the Power of the Holy Spirit with strength and breakthrough. This is His House of love, safety, and family – here to transform the Power of God into your lives in the name of Jesus Christ.
“Building People, Unleashing Power, and Transforming Houses to Homes.”
Acts 1:8 – But you shall receive Power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and you shall be My witness unto both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the world.
Our Mission
To empower everyday people through the raw truth of the Gospel (The Word), equipping them with The Holy Spirit Power to break chains, discover their divine purpose, spiritually disrupt, and shake the legions of darkness.
Matthew 11:12 – And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Our Vision
To see everyone fully equipped, anchored in Faith, walking in Divine purpose and manifesting the Kingdom of God in every area of their lives.
Proverbs 29:18 (MSG Bible) – If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what He reveals, they are blessed.
Our Beliefs
We believe God cares about everyone in restoring spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
Hebrews 11:6 – But without Faith it is impossible to please Him: for He that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
About Us
We are a ministry that was brought together through pain, failures, loss, trials, and tests. We have experienced the very bottom of the rock. We suffered the consequences of disobedience, and learned the hard lessons from doing life our own way. We came to realize and understand that God’s Way is the only way, and because of that, our total and complete surrender unto Him is mandatory.
Now we are dedicated to serving Him by providing a safe and stable atmosphere for all others who seek or are in need of God’s Presence, deliverance, and guidance. It is our mission to be pleasing in God’s sight and to remain diligent in doing His Works according to His Will.
Pastor Lawrence DeWitt Sanders
My name is Lawrence DeWitt Sanders. I come from a place called reality, where one becomes very familiar with having less and surviving.
I have survived many seasons living on the bare necessities and never once gave one piece of evidence that I wasn’t well taken care of. Many dangerous roads I have traveled – some willingly, and others I was dropped off and left to fend for myself. Those very roads beat me down, left me scarred, and almost took my life.
Denial, Betrayal, Addiction, Depression, Hurt, and Pain – just to name a few – yet look at me: here I am, back again and better than new.
I was conditioned to be happy with what I had, even if it wasn’t a lot. I still had more than some others. I was taught to respect the commitment and believe that as long as I had breath in my body, there was another chance.
My worth, my confidence, and my determination were placed on front street from the beginning of my existence, and not one time did I allow myself to fold. My very incontestable truth of still being here is the humbling “God Can” experience that brought me through it all. Who am I? You can call me Zero Tolerance, No Nonsense, and above all – God’s Child.
