I Came Through It All: As Roses Out of Ashes

Mary Vinson was born on June 13, 1944 to Willie Mae Sampler and Charlie James Menefee, Sr. She was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and raised in Marietta and Dallas Georgia. She is the second oldest out of seventeen (17) siblings. During her childhood she did not start school until the age of eight (8) years old due to an illness and only completed the 9th grade at Lemon Street High School in Marietta, GA. She was married and became the mother of ten (10) children, with eight (8) living. Currently she has 20 grand- and ten (10) great-grands. During the year of 1970 she committed her life to the Lord. As she went on, she furthered her education at Atlanta Area Technical College in Atlanta, GA for nursing in 1980. She worked at the detention center with delinquents for the period of five (5) years. As she progressed, she was sent by the Lord to South Carolina to become a teacher’s assistant at the Richland Memorial Daycare Center and worked there four (4) years. As she was called further into the prophetic ministry, she began to win the lost at any cost. She has been spreading it through radio, television, street ministry, revivals, homeless shelters, and all over. Under the mentoring and teaching of the Lord from the late Jean Barber, late Pastor Johnson and the resigning Lucy B. Moore, she has been sent further in the prophetic ministry. Now she has been advanced to a higher calling as an Apostletess/prophetess, Designer, Inventor, and founder of her businesses. Her goal is to build shelters for the homeless, teens with children; caring homes for the elderly and halfway houses for the people who have been released from prison. God Bless!
