Welcome to Mamie Johnson Ministries
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Thank you for visiting my Website — a place of guidance, love, and hope, driven by a deep passion for Christ. The vision God has given me is that all people know the magnitude of His love. His love is what makes all things possible, moving those who ask from darkness to light.
Living a productive life is not easy. We don’t determine the family we are born into however God does. No matter your situation or circumstance, God is able to help you thrive. He can help you see beyond your circumstance providing hope and possibility. It takes knowing Him and trusting Him as you develop a relationship with Him.
The message of God's love accomplished through Mamie Johnson Ministries is found in seminars, books and spiritual direction via social media like this Website. Programs, services and social media are developed to move the spirit, mind, and body to a better place through your relationship with God. As God’s love is received, all are encouraged to go forth and share that love with others; thereby fulfilling the Lord’s great commission to love others.
As a licensed and ordained minister of the gospel, I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix and a Master’s of Arts degree in Theology from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. I also have the blessed privilege to serve as an Assistant Pastor and in the role of chaplaincy for a local business. In 2010, I founded Mamie Johnson Ministries Inc. which is a non-profit 501(c)(3) ministry that seeks to convey the message of God’s love.
My drive comes from the love God has shown me throughout my life and now its time to share that love with others in an even greater way. It is God’s word that empowers and gives life.
