PASTOR & ELDER
GLENDA & MAJOR SHEDD
In 2022 the Lord begin to impress upon Evangelist Shedd again to teach Bible Study in the city of Inverness. She discussed this desire with Elder Shedd and began planning a Bible study on the Prayers of Jabez.
When she enquired of the Lord what to name this new ministry, she was given The Lamp Ministries and reminded of Psalm 119:105 which states “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” This Scripture describes the function and the importance of the Word of God. People from the community began to join the Bible study on Thursday.
One day while Pastor Shedd was driving, the Lord showed her some property and told her to have her husband inquire with the owner if they were willing to sell it. The owner agreed the Shedds purchased the land which consisted of three lots.
Pastor Shedd prayed to God asking him to give them a physical building to worship in until the church could be built. An answer came in an unexpected way. Pastor Kenneth Scott generously offered usage of the Belzoni United Pentecostal Church in March 2023 free of charge. An agreement was made to split the cost of the utilities. The Lamp Ministries began meeting there in April 2023.
The congregation moved into the building on April 14, 2024. The church's Grand Opening was held on May 3, 2024, and the church was dedicated to the Lord on May 5, 2024, with Bishop Clifton Jones, the diocesan of the Mississippi and Western Tennessee District Council serving as officiant. One soul went down in Jesus' name on that day.
