ABOUT US

Armed with a pen and a book I could hear the Lord clearly giving instructions about the ministry.  It was a vision that had been carried and protected for years. I remember laughing because I thought it was funny that God wanted to use us to pastor, but I also remember crying because the weight of the call was so heavy and I couldn't shake it.  My pen and notebook became my friend because I could hear the Lord saying write the vision and make it plain…. I remember hearing bring prayer back to my house as I was being given piece by piece instruction of how service was supposed to be. With all of these things written down in my book and year after year of us bringing it before the Lord

 

On Sunday March 2nd 2014 the doors were open and Empowerment Temple of Prayer Inc. was birthed from a vision to a reality. We held our 1st 11:30am service in the American Legion @ 160 Marvin Avenue in Hempstead.  God has blessed us to move and we are now located at 199-09 Murdock Avenue in St Albans.  On July 25th, 2015 we became members of Full Gospel Holy Temple, where our Overseer is Apostle Herman L Murray Jr. of Dallas Texas.

 

God has blessed us with his presence every service, and people are being revived, delivered and empowered to move forward in the things of God.  We look forward to seeing what God has in store for the future and believe that greater is coming!

He has been married for 30 years to his beautiful wife Sherema who works alongside him in ministry, and they have 2 sons, Darryl and Brandon.  At the age of 29 on August 19, 1994 he received Christ Jesus as his personal savior under Bishop Ronnie Davis Pastor and overseer of the Tabernacle of Prayer. It was during this time that his relationship with the Lord began to grow. He attended the Tabernacle of Prayer Bible College where his love for Gods people and Gods word grew and his calling and election was made sure. He served on security, as a praise and worship leader, and the Bishops armor bearer for a number of years, and in August of 2006 he was licensed as a minister. On Oct 13, 2013 he was ordained a Pastor, and on January 25th, 2014 Empowerment Temple of Prayer Inc. was founded. Together he and his wife endeavor to fulfill the vision God has given.

 

Co Pastor Sherema Thomson is a woman of God who loves the Lord. She has a passion for seeing the church rise up and take its rightful place in God. She has an unselfish desire to see men and women of God come into the fullness of what God has called them to do. Her journey with the Lord began at an early age when she received Christ as her personal savior under the late Apostle Johnnie Washington, founder of the Tabernacle of Prayer for all people.  It was during this time that her love for God, His word, and deliverance for Gods people began to grow. She attended the Tabernacle of Prayer Bible College where she grew in the word and the knowledge of God.  It was in bible college that she noticed God had a special call on her life to preach the Gospel. As she attended the Tabernacle of Prayer under the current overseer Bishop Ronnie Davis she served as minister, youth leader, and a praise and worship leader.
