The Pastor & Overseer
Bishop Joseph King
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I Bishop Joseph King would love to have you fellowship at New Beginnings Apostolic Faith Ministries. If you want the chains of bondage broken, and to be set free, worship and serve God in the beauty of holiness, this is the place for you. The word of God will help you prosper and be in health as stated in the book of 3 John 2. God called me for such a time as this to help set the captive free, mend broken hearts through the comforting word of God. I believe in laying hands on the sick and they shall recover. God told me to Take the Kingdom of God to the People, and build the church family, the people will help build the vision. In 1991 God gave me a vision called the 90 Day Wonder. This vision will establish temporary shelter for the abused spouse, children, senior citizen, and for those who need assistance with a new start in life. Out of this vision came the name of this ministry “New Beginnings Apostolic Faith Ministries”.
Acts 2:38 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
