As GOD continued to show his greatness in the unfolding of the ministries, Elder Luther Washington, who is Minister Washington’s brother, was awarded the opportunity to begin Family Life Restoration Center, Inc. FLRC was birthed in him nearly six years ago. The center is housed in a 19,000 square foot facility located at 6105 Mableton Parkway in the city of Mableton. FLRC has been commissioned by GOD to offer medical screenings, food for the hungry, clothes for the naked, showers for the homeless, and a safe haven for the youth in the community. As Minister Washington assisted in the birth of his brother’s vision, God had a plan that was even bigger. God began to unfold what his plan was for Minister Washington. After hearing from God, Minister Washington called Bishop Carter on the phone to tell him what GOD was saying and Bishop Carter met with him the same day. As Minister Washington began to speak, Bishop Carter responded “son, if that’s what GOD is saying, I’m here to help anyway I can because we can’t stop GOD and even Ray Charles can see the anointing that God has on your life.” Bishop Carter went on further to say “I have watched you preach and I know your spirit, so what ever I can do I will.”
Therefore, on May 20, 2007, the journey began with our first service held at the eleven o’clock hour in suite #2 at Family Life Restoration Center. At that first service, there were nine faithful followers present. Minister Washington also contacted his spiritual father at Dominion and Power Ministries in Harvey, Louisiana, Bishop Jerry J. Henry, Sr., and shared with him what GOD was doing and inquired about some chairs that he was no longer using. Bishop Henry did not hesitate in saying, “we are not using them and I want you to have them.” The next question was “how are we going to get them from Harvey, Louisiana,” but GOD had a plan. Members of DPM, Brother and Sister Milton Haynes, had come to Georgia in evasion of Katrina, but he and his family decided to move back to Louisiana. Their furniture was still in Georgia but they were in Louisiana, therefore he told Minister Washington that since I have to come back to get my furniture, I will bring the chairs to you. Needless to say, Brother Haynes and Minister Jerry J. Henry, Jr. delivered all one hundred and twenty plush, rose in color, chairs to FLRC. As GOD continued to have His way, our membership has increased from twelve members, with a regular attendance of approximately twenty-six people.
