Tribute To
God’s Last Day Apostle
Apostle Arturo Skinner
Founder of The Deliverance Bible Institute
(The Foundation Institution for Amoral Deliverance Theological Institution)
1924-1975
Our Founder was born Arthur Alfred Skinner to Ethel Rhoda and James Leon Skinner on December
15, 1924 in Brooklyn, New York. Along with his two older brothers, James, Jr. (Bucky) and Clyde
and half brother Irving, the family crowded into a small cold flat on the 1700 block of Fulton Street.
Eventually his father left the family to return to his native Barbados, where
he remained until his death in 1945.
“Arturo” earned his nickname because of his West Indies background and
flamboyant personality. As a child he was a natural entertainer. Growing up
in Jewish neighborhoods he took odd jobs and learned Yiddish fluently and
served as a translator for Jews in the community who only spoke Hebrew.
Work aside, Arturo’s real joy – and pride – came from dancing in the
streets. All his creative energy and talent would exude as he tapped his way
on busy street corners, eager for the audience, the applause and the coins
that came his way at the end of the performance. He was a master of
tapping and performing all the latest ballroom dances. In spite of the money
he earned, life was extremely hard for the family. So at fifteen he left school to work as a shipping
clerk to help maintain the household.
Being a clerk was short lived. Encouraged by a talent scout, Arturo soon began to frequent Harlem
trying to establish his career as entertainer. Eventually he became caught up in a whirlwind, dancing
ADTI

his way across nightclub strips and even appearing in several Broadway
musicals. Money poured in – and quickly went out. He loved fine clothes,
jewelry, and even started collecting ceramic dogs (a hobby he maintained
for the rest of his life). Arturo became a heavy social drinker and
eventually turned to drugs to try to maintain a euphoria that was quickly
fading.
Twenty-eight years of Arturo Skinner’s life had gone by before his
miraculous conversion came while on the brink of suicide in 1952. He
reached his crisis the year following his mother’s death after suffering a
stroke at the age of 61. That faithful night two voices conflicted inside of
him. One compelling him to “go were your mother is” the other saying “Arturo, I want you to turn
your life over to me. Give me your heart”. According to Arturo Skinner, he received his salvation in
the middle of Brooklyn’s busy Atlantic Avenue thoroughfare, when Jesus prevented him from taking
his own life.
Determined to start anew, he gave away custom-made furniture, opened his closets to friends and
withdrew the little money he had from the bank and proclaimed that it was going towards working
for God. With a few possessions and his mother Bible in hand, Arturo Skinner (he legally changed
his name sometime later) took a train to Hartford, Connecticut and spent the next 56 days in the
Allen Hotel. He recalled later that those were some of the most torturous days and nights of his
whole life, as God prepared him for ministry through dreams and
visions.
Fully recovered, he returned to New York and promptly attended the
Bethel Bible Institute in Jamaica, Long Island, New York, where he
received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It was during this time that
he went to live in the home of the esteemed Judge James Lopez
Watson, Jr. and his mother, Mrs. Viola Watson, who influenced him
greatly and whom he considered his adopted parents. He and Judge Watson remained close friends
for the rest of his life. While living in the Watson home, he worked as a houseboy to earn the money
required for his personal sustenance and study.
He graduated from the Institute and was ordained as an evangelist on Psalm Sunday, 1952 and soon
after started holding evangelistic services and tent meetings. Many people that came to his services
were healed as countless miracles began to occur.
After three and a half years the people who supported his meetings, insisted that Arturo locate a
church home. The church began simply by holding meetings in the home of Mother Mary Armarty.
As the power of God worked through Apostle Skinner, the congregation soon outgrew her living
room and moved to a storefront on Pershing Avenue in Newark, New Jersey, then to Springfield
Avenue, which also became too small.
ADTI
Page 3
The congregation outgrew several other locations including the Masonic Temple at 188 Belmont
Avenue before they marched, one Sunday morning, into a new building, the Central Avenue Theatre,
at 505 Central Avenue in Newark. The Theatre became the Newark Deliverance Evangelistic
Center's first headquarters, holding about 1500 people. Deliverance was being born thought Apostle
Skinner still hesitated to put a pattern or formula to his ministry.
Meanwhile there was still a need for ministry to continue in Brooklyn. So Apostle Skinner
conducted Saturday night Deliverance rallies, beginning
first at 182 Gates Avenue. As in Newark, the swelling
attendance kept forcing the rallies to still larger
accommodations, eventually they where moved into the
Bedford Street YMCA.
Finally, Reverend Skinner ventured forth and bought
another theatre building, the old Kismet Theatre at 785
DeKalb Avenue. The Kismet held close to 2,000 people –
and soon, it too, was holding packed services. Renamed The
Deliverance Tabernacle, it was purchased to
accommodate w e e k l y s e r v i c e s , house church staff, the printing ministry, and the other
mechanics of what was now growing into an i n t e r n a t i o n a l ministry. The v i s i o n of
Deliverance was e x p a n d i n g in Arturo Skinner’s mind as he continued to seek God’s counsel for
the future. In 1957 he was inspired to create the Deliverance Evangelistic Centers, I n c ., Worldwide.
He said, “Deliverance is not as an organization, but an organism of the Body of Christ”.
The man who once so desperately needed saving, was now
responsible – through the message of deliverance – for saving
countless thousands of lives by transmitting his own powerful
belief of salvation to his huge flock. This sizeable feat was
being accomplished through weekly services, and the weekly
DEC radio broadcast, which was embraced by people in the
United States as well as Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean
Islands. Outreach was also accomplished through various huge
Crusade caravans that traveled cross-country. DEC outreach
ministry, spread throughout the world, because of Pastor
ADTI
Page 4
Skinners heartfelt desire to "reach and win 10 million souls in every corner
of the world for Christ" with the message of Deliverance. Apostle Skinner
made history when rented Madison Square Garden in New York City and
preached to a capacity crowd.
On April 28, 1963 Apostle Arturo Sinner, along side his friend and brother
Reverend Charles Miles, Pastor of International Gospel Center in Ecorse,
Michigan, were consecrated to the office of Apostle by Reverend J. L.
Alaman. The Deliverance Ministry was growing and would eventually
include between 40 and 50 affiliated churches worldwide.
In 1973 DEC Ministries purchased its present headquarters church, the former Temple B’nai
Abraham at 621 Clinton Avenue, in the Clinton Hill section of Newark, New Jersey. Apostle
Skinner paid $250,000 in cash to the B’nai Abraham
Congregation. Deliverance now had room to grow as
the main sanctuary seated 2,000 people. Apostle
Skinner’s vision was flourishing: God’s deliverance
was indeed taking the land.
After h a v i n g l a i d the foundation and spreading
the Deliverance Ministry around the world,
Apostle A r t u r o A r t h u r S k i n n e r d i e d suddenly
on March 20, 1975 and was buried in his hometown
of B r o o k l yn , N e w York. Three months later, in June of
1975,A p o s t l e R a l p h G. S h a m m a h Nichol formally succeeded
him as Senior Pastor and Overseer of DEC Ministries.

National Christian Counselors Association (N.C.C.A.)
Amora Deliverance Theological Institution has been a Certified Academic Institution of the National Christian
Counselors Association of Sarasota, Florida since 2008. National Christian Counselors Association
In 1981, Drs. Richard and Phyllis Arno established the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA) as a
non-profit corporation in order to conduct research and develop a therapeutic procedure based on Scripture. The
procedure would accomplish three essential goals:
✝ Enable the candidate to learn the system easily and relatively quickly
✝ Save pastors and Christian counselors precious time in counseling sessions
✝ Produce effective, positive, and more immediate results with those being counseled
Drs. Arno developed the system over seven years through systematic research with over 5,000 individuals. The
counselees sought help for depression, inter/intra-personal conflict, marriage and family dysfunctions and anxiety.
The purpose of the research was to: (1) increase the effectiveness of the NCCA’s therapeutic procedure; (2)
measure the percentage of success within a controlled environment; and (3) develop an accurate clinical testing
procedure for initial identification of the counselee’s temperament (spiritual genetics). In-depth studies were
conducted on all current psychological tests and/or behavioral inventories. For many reasons, the NCCA selected
the FIRO-B, which was developed by Dr. Will Schutz, as its initial measuring device or questionnaire. The NCCA
named its analysis procedure the Temperament Analysis Profile (TAP), which reveals the "hidden problems" that
normally take the counselor seven or eight sessions to identify.
In November 2000 the NCCA changed the name from the Temperament Analysis Profile to the Arno Profile
System (APS) in honor of its’ developers. Presently, over 4,000 pastors and professional counselors rely on the
Arno Profile System to aid them in their counseling efforts. These counselors report an accuracy rate of over ninety
percent (90%) in identifying an individual’s correct (in-born, God-given) temperament.
How the NCCA Credentials Help You Personally and Professionally
Potential counselors often ask about the benefits of the training and obtaining certification or license from the
NCCA Of course, the main benefit is knowledge. The training you receive provides a deep spiritual insight into
understanding human behavior and relating to others. This knowledge is valuable in every area of life, including
your ability to help those who are hurting.
Having NCCA credentials ensures that you are recognized within your community as a qualified Christian/Pastoral
counselor. The community can be assured that your credentials are authentic and current.
Other benefits available to NCCA members include qualifying for professional liability insurance, networking with
other counselors and the opportunity to earn continuing education credits at seminars and conferences. In addition,
the NCCA offers assistance to its members with regard to degree transfer work and fulfillment of academic goals.

Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the literal, infallible, and inspired Word of God, and is the final
authority on all matters of faith and life (Matthew 24:35; II Timothy 3:16-17; II Peter 1:3-4).
We believe there is one God who is revealed to us in three distinct manifestations; the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit (John 1:1-4, 14; Romans 8:9; II Corinthians 13:14).
We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, His death, burial and bodily resurrection.
We believe in His complete deity and humanity; that He is fully God and came in the likeness
of man, God incarnate (Romans 1:3-4; John 1:1-14; I Timothy 3:16).
We believe Christ’s atoning sacrifice on Calvary has made possible the salvation of all
mankind, by Grace through Faith, and that a Christian stands and lives by the faith of the Son
of God (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Galatians 2:16; Hebrews 9:12).
We believe in the present day New Testament ministry of the Holy Spirit (Mark 16:20; II
Corinthians 5:17-19).
We believe in His appearing in and through the Body of Christ, and His eminent physical
return (Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 15:13-17; John 14:20, 23; II Peter 1:4).
We believe that God was in Christ reconciling all the world unto Himself, and that the
ministry of reconciliation has been given to the Body of Christ (John 3:16-17; II Corinthians
5:18-21).
We believe in the bodily resurrection and righteous judgment of all mankind (Acts 26:8;
Revelation 21:11-15).
We believe that when matters in the scripture appear to be ambiguous, the Christian should
seek the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the witness of the Word of God for direction (Romans
14:4-5; Philippians 2:12).
We believe in water baptism as an act of obedience to the Word of God (Matthew 28:19; Acts
2:38; Mark 16:16).

Statement of Purpose
It is the purpose of the Amora Deliverance Theological Institution to provide professional
undergraduate and graduate level programs, which will equip the practitioners of ministry,
the Pastor, Evangelist, Missionary, Chaplain, Christian Educator, Bible Counselor, Church
Member and those engaged in other areas of Christian service. It is to equip the children of
God as they yields to the leadership of the Holy Spirit of God, to rightly divide the Word of
Truth. ADTI recognizes the work of the ministry as a divine calling, and also recognizes God’s
mandate in II Timothy 2:15, for the requirement to study for the ministry.
It is also the purpose of ADTI to offer this training to all Christians desiring a solid biblical
education, regardless of race, ethnic origin, or religious background.

Notice of Exemption Statement From The University of
North Carolina Board of Governors
Degree program(s) of study offered by Amora Deliverance Theological Institution have been
declared exempt from the requirements for licensure under the provisions of North Carolina General
Statues (G.S.) 116-15(d) for exemption from licensure with respect to religious
education….Exemption from licensure is not based upon any assessment of program quality under
established licensing standards.
There is no requirement for secular accreditation for Christian colleges and seminaries, that do not
issue secular degrees. Most such schools do not believe that it is right for Christians schools,
offering only theological training to come under the secular accreditation system, as these agencies
can regulate what you can and cannot teach. We do feel however, that it is vitally important that
Christian accreditation be established, to insure the proper standards of academic excellence within
Christian education.
Please read the follow excerpt from the UNC Board of Governor concerning Licensure vs.
Accreditation:
Difference Between Licensure and Accreditation
The Board of Governors as agent of the State regulates nonpublic post-secondary degree activity in
North Carolina through a licensing process. Licensure is required by law. Accreditation, on the
other hand, is not a requirement of law: it is a status sought voluntarily by an institution from a group
of peer institutions and is accomplished by a voluntary, nongovernmental body called an accrediting
commission. For more information on Accreditation visit: http://www.sacs.org
State licensure fulfills a consumer protection function, protecting potential and enrolled students and
employers, as well as the public in general. It substantiates minimum educational quality and is
prerequisite to, among other things, receipt by institutions and their students of sizeable sums of
public funds derived from the taxing power of the State. Accreditation commissions also provide
consumer protection, but their primary purpose is to serve those institutions that called them into
being.
State licensure precedes accreditation; and it is the first requirement an institution must meet to be
eligible for accreditation and for various programs of the United State Office of Education and other
federal student financial aid agencies.

excellence of their study programs, we may determine to convert credits that are appropriate to our
study programs.
