September 16, 2012 marks a historical moment for both Pastors Sean
and Janice Wilson. This was the day
that both were in-stalled as Pastors
of Greater Faith Victory Church of
Waynesville, Missouri. As they were obedient to the call that
was con-firmed June 16, 2010 in Honolulu, Hawaii by the laying on of hands, of Bishop Kelsey Lewis and sent to Missouri
to plant the Ministry that they both carry in their hearts. The
Church plant started as a Bible Study in their home in December 2011 and moved to the Super 8 Motel soon thereafter. On
April 30, 2012 God opened up doors and showed great favor to
the team as they acquired a store front location in the Hunters
Point housing area and is the current location of Sunday Worship Services.
History of the Call:
Pastors Sean and Janice Wilson have a very unique
testimony. In the 2004 the family was stationed in Germany
and active members of New Covenant Christian Fellowship of
Vilsack Germany. The Senior Pastors were Pastors Daryl and
Linda McGee. During their time in that ministry Pastor Sean
(who worked in the media ministry at the time) had an experience and encounter with God and made a vow that he would
preach the Gospel and retire once he attained twenty-years of
service in the Army; his only request was that the Lord would
take care of his family. Pastor Janice was a member of the
Praise and Worship at that time as well. They received orders
and relocated to Hawaii where they joined and were active
members of Fellowship Temple of Wahiawa, Hawaii and the
Senior Pastor was Bishop George Henfield where they were
involved in many areas of the Ministry as Pastor Sean was appointed as the Men’s Ministry Leader while also participating
in other areas.
Bishop Henfield assisted in guiding and establishing
strong foundational teachings which set them both up for their
predestined call and at the end of their two year tenure there
they then partnered with Pacific Revival Center of Honolulu,
Hawaii where they received training in many areas. In 2008
Pastor Sean deployed to Iraq and once he arrived God opened
the door for him to teach Bible Study on Friday evenings to
Soldiers in theater. Pastor Sean answered the call and about
five months into the deployment God told him that once he
returns to Hawaii that both he and his wife would be ordained
as Pas-tors and then sent to plant a church of which Pastor
Sean only shared this vision with his wife at the time.
After redeployment Pastor Sean and Pastor Janice
both were invited into Bishop Kelsey and Pastor Druscilla
Lewis’ office and received a formal invitation into the Ministries Pastoral training Program. Pastor Sean withheld the word
that the Lord had told him until a year later after the Ordination
service. The confirmation of the call manifested itself after the
ordination service which was held in June 2010. Soon after
Pastors Sean and Janice moved to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri after Pastor Janice retired from the United States Army.
Being sent to the local area as church planters they visited sev-
eral Ministries and helped where they were allowed. They never joined any Ministry for one simple reason and that is they
believe that when a person joins a Ministry it’s a marriage and
a committed covenant relationship. They were sent to plant
their Church and made their intentions apparent to each Pastors
Church they visited.
After Pastor Sean received confirmation of the start
date for their ministry from the Lord he dropped his retirement
papers and started Bible Study in their home on December 21,
2011. The initial vision and purpose which is still very much
engrained in the heart of the Ministry is to “Fix the Cracks in
the Foundation of the Believers”. In a nut shell what that
means is that every believer must understand what Jesus Christ
has done for the entire world when he was crucified. Many
people don’t believe because they don’t really know Jesus in
the intimate way that they should.
They are a strong team of Ministers and desire to expand and share the Gospel and make Disciples of all Neighborhoods, Communities and Nations. 1 Tim 1:12 “And I thank
Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me, for that He
counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry”. Pastors
Sean and Janice’s call came from the Lord and are committed
to performing the will
