Apostle Jackie Johnson

Church

I am the Pastor and Apostle of Purposed By God Outreach Ministries – Austin TX. I am the Pastor and Apostle of New Rock Lighthouse Ministries – Florence AL since September 19, 2016 the church was passed down from my Father (as New Rock Church of God in Christ, the new name was official in November 2016. Purposed By God Outreach Ministries opened our doors of the church on April 20, 2014 (Easter Sunday). Our Overseeing covering is Dr. Apostle Laura M Thompson – Laura Thompson Ministries in Cherokee AL. I was Commissioned and Affirmed as an Apostle and Gods 5-Fold Minister in March of 2014 by Dr. Apostle Laura Thompson. I was originally Ordained and Licensed as an Evangelist through Agape Christian Ministries – Bishop L. A. Wilkerson in 2007.

My Beginning

I was born in Florence Alabama to my parents Ananias and Annie Johnson. I am the fourth child and the oldest girl out of six children (three older brothers and two younger sisters). I am single with no children. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior in 1986 and was filled with the Holy Ghost at that time. I accepted my call into the ministry in 1996 and operated as an Evangelist until 2012. When God asked me to move back to care for my sick Father in 2012 The Dr. had only given him a 20% chance to live through the night) I said to the family God has the last say and I am on my way there. I am an intercessor and God had me there for two weeks to intercede and before I left to return to Texas to prepare to move to Alabama God turned his whole situation around. He is yet in the land of living, able to live by himself and drive himself around. God waited for me to say to him God if it takes me to move back to Alabama for you to extend my Father’s life; I say “Yes” that is when my Fathers situation turned around. I lived in Alabama for 15 months to care for my Father. I assisted him at his church and at home. He is now an Emeritus Pastor and has been a Pastor for 28 years! God told me as I was going to Alabama that I wasn’t just an Evangelist, but his Five-Fold Minister. I have operated in all five gifting for a while not realizing that. I have birthed out ministries, evangelized prophesied, operated as a Pastor to the homeless population for years, and have been a teacher since an early age. God revealed all of this to me and again I said yes. When my assignment was about to be over God said to me, Jackie you have went as far as you can with your Father, I am now repositioning you back to your promise land. When I came down in October 2013 to minister for a Woman to Woman Empowerment Conference, God said stay and apply. I took a leap of faith and stayed only being out of work for six weeks.

I have served with Kairos Outside Prison Ministry since April 2016 as a Spiritual Director (after attending the first time as a guest in October 2015. During my time in Texas, I have served with Prison Fellowship, I use to go in and do workshops and worship service in prisons. I served in the prison arena for over 25 years, Juvenile Half-way house 8.5 years (served at Turman House as a Chaplaincy Volunteer with Texas Youth Commission), and worked with the Homeless community for over 27 years. I believe my purpose in life is to share Jesus to win the lost, show Gods unconditional love, serve others, help others find their purpose in God and walk along side of them until they reach maturity in their faith and can be sent out to do what God has them to do.

The Things I Love

I love to travel, gain knowledge, witness about my faith, do crafts, play softball, go bowling, socialize with others, and help others to achieve their purpose in life. I volunteer in the community, I have taught many types of classes for years like craft classes for all ages, bible study classes, Vacation Bible School, and have taught Microsoft (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint – All level of curriculums written by myself), I taught Microsoft Office courses to customers in the public and also the staff of the Austin Public Library (for over five years). I have worked for a Public Library system over 11.5 years and served in multiple roles highest position in that system served was as a Library Assistant – equivalent to an Assistant Manager. I have also worked at a Treatment Center as a Mental Health Associate and another one as a Rehab Technician (until March of 2010 for six years combined). I served on an advisory board with a half-way house for TYC (Texas Youth Commission). I have volunteered with Texas Youth Commission for over eight and a half years. I won the Chaplaincy Award in 2006 for the Austin Area. I was nominated 2006 – 2009 for the Chaplaincy Award for the entire State of Texas.

Goals

I am a Christian with a call on my life. I go out into the world and witness to others about Jesus and introduce them to him if they want to know about him. I sometimes share my many testimonies of what God has done for me and how his son came to die for all our many sins. I also travel and preach God’s word. I bring souls into the kingdom of God and help to multiply my local church. I am a “Woman of Purpose” and I’m walking toward my destiny. I know that what God has for me is for me, and that God is a God that cannot lie – if he said it, it shall come to pass. My goals in life are to use my MBA Degree for the Kingdom of God, run the nonprofit God gave to me in a vision about 28 years ago, birth out ministries, Mentor individuals in ministry, Impact other people’s life, get married to the ordained mate and have two children (Boy and Girl), and bring as many people I can into the family of God. I know my purpose in life and have started out to finish my course. I will be all I can be, working hard to live life without excuses and strive toward excellence in every area of my life. I am striving to complete all that I have started in life, by becoming a finisher in life. When I close my eyes on this side of Heaven I want to stand before God purpose empty, longing to hear him say “Well Done!” I achieved my MBA Degree on January 3, 2012. I am an alumnus of University Phoenix and received my BSBA Degree in December 2009. During my journey towards my bachelor’s degree I had three cheerleaders (My best boss Stephanie, my Mama Annie Johnson, and my long-time friend of 15 years – Ira). I lost two of those cheerleader’s in 2010 (my Mama and Stephanie), and it was difficult to keep getting up and working towards the goal but I could not give up. It was as though they both waited until I completed the degree then they went home. As you can see I have enjoyed something’s in life, I love people and I am confident in “Who I Am”. I have finished school, removed all excuses and live to fulfill my destiny. I have learned through life that it’s not what you have in life that makes you successful but it’s how you have made a positive impact on someone else life that makes you a success. The most important thing to know about me is that I LOVE JESUS CHRIST, I am a CHILD OF GOD, I am BORN AGAIN, FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, and I am nothing without him in my life.
