After three years of faithfully serving at the Lillard location, God began to increase WOP greatly! With the increase in May 2009, we moved to Quality Inn in Arlington. On our first Sunday, May 3, 2009, we had to add more chairs in the sanctuary to accommodate the overflow. We started the WOP School of Ministry (SOM) in 2009 with 23 students. In 2010, our leadership grew as WOP ordained three deacons and licensed 20 ministers. In 2012, we began international missions to Ghana and West Africa and registered the SOM with the State of Texas. In March 2013, we moved to our current location. In 2014, we increased our global impact with missions reaching London, Pakistan, South Africa, and West Africa! In 2018, God called Senior Pastor Frank Manu into the office of an Apostle. Under the mandate of Senior Apostle Manu, WOP membership and leadership have continued to expand exponentially, bringing us into Five-Fold Ministry status.
Though 2020 was a year like no other, we remained steadfast in the assignment and vision of the ministry. Under the leadership of our Senior Apostle, WOP continued to forge through despite the challenges that hit the nation. During one of the most challenging times in ministry history, we established our monthly food drive initiative, which eventually led to opening our food bank and partnerships with local apartment complexes.
To date, we have acquired our very own Life Empowerment Center (LEC) and established a strong focus on empowering and equipping all the Five-Fold, prophetic and deliverance ministry, executive directors, leaders, and workers, all of whom diligently work together to maximize and support the vision and mission of this great ministry. To God Be the Glory!
