Praise the Lord Saints of the Most High God!! July is Men Month at Agape and Sis.
Willis and I would like to this month to honor our Men of God!! Men you have stepped up
to the plate and have shown yourselves as men. The world defines men as those who are
hard, tough, and controlling but God’s definition of a man is way more than what meets the
natural eye. When God called David a man after His own heart, He wasn’t basing it upon
David’s flesh. God looked within the man and saw what David through God (Himself)
would become. Apart from God none of us would be anything. Men of Grace keep
standing for what’s right and the Lord will reward you. There have been activities and
events planned with you in mind. We have often heard the saying.. IT TAKES A MAN
TO TEACH A MAN HOW TO BE A MAN. If we as husbands, fathers, uncles,
brothers, don’t help to bring our young men into the knowledge of Jesus Christ the world is
waiting for an opportunity to mold them into this world’s system. We must band together
and take our families, cities, neighborhoods, from the guttermost to the uttermost. We
decree and we declare that our young men will be gentlemen. They will know how to work
and make a living for their families. But most of all they will know JESUS as Lord and
Saviour. Men you are on the wall doing a great work and you cannot afford to come down
don’t let the deception of the devil and his imps cause you to let go of the almighty hand of
the Lord. You have the support of your leadership, your families, and the Almighty God
backing you up. For such a time as this the world needs the real Men of God taking a firm
and a bold stand like never before. Can God count on you? Can we do this? I say, YES
WE CAN!!! God bless each and every one of you in the Matchless Name of Jesus!!!
Pastor and First Lady Willis
Men Month
It is with the love of God that we, the Agape Storehouse Church Family, along with our
Pastors, Prophet John H. Willis and Prophetess Linda Willis, welcome you to our
service on today. We believe that our ministry is not about us, it is all about the
Kingdom of God. It is our desire to expand the Kingdom by proclaiming the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. We are so thankful to God for allowing us this privilege to have you in our
service that the Word of God can be engrafted into your spirit. We welcome you to join
us anything to fellowship, to learn and to worship with us. God is an awesome God and
we are a growing congregation whose desire is to fulfill our God given purpose and
would love for you to be a part of it. If you do not have a church home, please
prayerfully consider becoming a part of the Agape Storehouse Church family. Agape
Storehouse, a place for you and me!! Be blessed in Jesus Name!

Apostle A. R .& Elder Sherrilyn Williams
World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church
6655 Winchester Road, Memphis, TN
Apostle Alton R. Williams has served as Senior Pastor of World Overcomers Outreach
Ministries Church in Memphis, Tennessee, since 1981. He has entered into a new dimension
of ministry as one of the end-time Apostles that God is raising up around the world. He is a
graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma and is one of the 12 founding
Fathers of the Full Gospel Church Fellowship of New Orleans, LA.
Apostle Williams is
committed to impacting the world by teaching God’s Word with simplicity for personal life
application.
Elder Sherrilyn Williams truly exemplifies the Proverbs 31 woman. A beautiful and virtuous
lady, she is the wife of Apostle A. R. Williams and the mother of their five children. Thousands
of women at WOOMC esteem her as their spiritual mother. She is also an accomplished
author, licensed minister, and motivational speaker. A dynamic minister, she preaches the
infallible Word of God with authority and conviction. Elder Williams' greatest sermon,
however, is the one she lives daily as she touches the lives of others with her "million dollar"
smile, capacious heart, and her upright character. Like a ripple, her influence never ends as
she encourages others and spreads the love of Jesus Christ.

Agape
Storehouse
Church Vision
is my vision through the Word of God to bring people into a relationship with Jesus
Christ, to break down and destroy racial and denominational barriers, and all forms of
religious and traditional ways that may hinder or limit us in serving the Lord in Spirit
and in Truth. Therefore, by empowering God’s people with the Word of God, through
preaching and teaching, it will aid in destroying the spirit of poverty in all areas of their
lives.
It
It is also my vision to edify men, women and children, enabling marriages and
families to be successful and whole. The Lord’s goal for this Storehouse is to fulfill the
great responsibility in supplying the needs of His people which entails salvation,
education, counsel, sustenance for parishioners, our community, city, county and state.
I will teach God’s people how to live a victorious life above sin, sickness, poverty,
fear and unbelief through practical application of the Word of God in prayer, fasting,
praise and worship. With God’s help, I will nourish the wounded, the hurting and the
lost. God’s people will be spiritually sound and secure, physically, mentally,
economically and educationally therefore, raising their level of self-worth, selfmotivation, self-determination, and self-sufficiency. In doing so, we will fulfill the
Word of God as it relates to Christ’s definition of what a storehouse should be
according to Malachi 3:10 “that there may be meat (provision) in mine storehouse.
God’s Storehouse is blessed and prosperous!
