On August 10, 1991 in the basement of Deacon Kater & the late Mrs. Katie Rodgers, this ministry was born.  We have since grown from 15 women in our first service to hundreds of men, women, boys and girls attending services on a regular basis.  Because of this growth, we moved to Resurrection Temple of Our Lord Church in December 1991 upon Apostle Wiley speaking with presiding Reverend Nathaniel Kelly.  We praise God our then church home and loved the late Reverend & the late Mrs. Kelly. We praise and thank God for the growth and elevation.  Soon after an open door was extended for us to have our weekly Bible Study at New Gethsemane Baptist Church, where the late Reverend Dr. James B. Cross was the senior pastor. We moved temporarily to Faithway Deliverance, where the late Reverend Booker was the Pastor.  We returned to where we started, at Resurrection Temple of Our Lord, where Apostle Dr. Wesley J. Wiley was the Senior Pastor. From there, we moved to Crown International Ministries located in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, where Dr. Jonathan Shaw & Pastor Sabrina Shaw are Host Pastors.  We now reside in our new home at 1278 St. Johns Place, Brooklyn, NY 11213.

 

Many Apostles, Evangelists, Pastors and fire filled women and men of God have come to exhort and bless us by and through the Word of God, coming from places such as Houston, Michigan, Tulsa, Virginia, Chicago Mississippi, New York and many other parts of the country and international speakers as well.  We have truly been blessed by then all!  As we move into greater blessing: which God surely has in store for us individually and corporately, we choose only to do things God’s way. The ministry’s purpose is to fulfill God’s plan for His children.  So, don’t be discouraged look and see God for who He really is!  Therefore, whatever your call is in life, don’t cast down in your spirit, but soar as God has called you to do.



FOR WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE!

The History of Oil of Joy Ministries II, Inc.In August 1991, while in Saginaw, Michigan, Apostle Dr. Patricia Wiley visited A.G.L.O.W, Women’s Fellowship.  As she sat at a table, waiting and listening to the Praise and Worship, the Lord began to speak to her.  He told her that so many of His women are hurting and needed to be edified, exhorted and built up so they could soar as He called them to do.  He also said, “first the women, then the men will come”. Later He gave her the symbol of a butterfly through her secretary at that time Sister Ronell Lucas.  Then He explained the meaning of our symbol”:He said many were in the cocoon stage (seemingly dead, with no life in them) because of hurts from families, friends, churches, etc.  But through Oil of Joy Ministries II, Inc. by the enabling of the Holy Spirit to exhort and build up these people, the cocoon transition begins, and the wormlike creature develops into beautifully and wonderfully made butterfly with its own uniqueness. God’s own creation fragile and exquisite, able to soar in His freedom and not be held back from doing what God has called them to do.
