Church History
Our Dr.Teresa A. Moton, a powerful woman of God confessed the Lord and was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ on October 3, 1982. She was filled with the Spirit of God under the leadership of the late Bishop David L. Ellis of Greater Grace Temple, Detroit Michigan. Dr. Moton worshipped there for 2 ½ years. Later, she served 16 ½ years under Bishop Ellis’s son in the Gospel, District Elder G.L. Harper of Greater Grace Temple of Taylor, Taylor, Michigan. God called Dr. Moton to ministry, early in 1984 at that time her childhood sweetheart Deacon Jeffrey Moton joined her in her spiritual walk, he accepted Christ and received the precious gift of the Holy Spirit. The two united in Holy Matrimony on July 6, 1986. Dr. Moton continued her walk with God serving Him always a faithful member, having many test and trials along the way. Through it all the Lord remained Jehovah Jar rah in her life.

After she acknowledged her true calling. Not only was our Dr. Moton called to the ministry, but a mantel of prophecy was placed on her life, which now she operates in her prophetic gift. What a mighty God we serve, eyes have not seen; ears have not heard what God has in store for her. Through it all, Dr. Moton never left God’s grace, He taught her through trials that He is an almighty God and that her exalted scripture Isaiah 54:17 stands true “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper”.
Before starting our great ministry God called Dr. Moton to evangelize in her hometown. The door of the evangelistic field was opened through her sister, Sis. Bobbie Wallace. Dr. Moton set up outreach ministries in Denby Center on Hickory Street in LaMone’ Gardens on Pine Street in Inkster, where her husband assisted in funding with the food for the ministry. she led many souls to Christ and many were converted, about 45 or more were baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. Dr. Moton went out preaching the word of God at Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church in Eastman, Georgia. There 18 souls including the pastor and two of his deacons were baptized in Jesus name, and the first Lady received the Holy Spirit in that service. Now the church has been renamed Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Holiness church; we thank God for the call of evangelism on her. Our Dr. Moton received a release by way of Prophetic word from Bishop Hugh Smith while he was ministering at Greater Grace Temple in Taylor. God awakened her one night with the name Greater Works Deliverance Ministries Int'l Inc., after which the Lord used Elder Jeffrey Moton to give her a word of knowledge and confirmation about taking her ministry to another level. she heard God in the month of August the year 2000, to go to her pastor to release her to go to into the vineyard.
During the last week of July 2001 Dr. Moton started the first service of Greater Works Deliverance Ministries Int'l Inc. with only six people in attendance: Sis. Jacqueline Wallace (sister) Samuel Wallace (son), Tenija Moton, Tiara Moton and Temperance Moton her daughters and one other sister in the Lord. Dr. Moton preaches the unadulterated Word of God, in which many can testify that their lives have been changed and marriages healed through her ministry. She has a sincere heart for her congregation and a desire for the manifestation of power, of the Word of God. God has added a host of faithful members to this great fellowship. While at the Quality Inn on Merriman in Romulus we baptized about 48 souls in the Name of Jesus and ½ of that record received the Holy Ghost. While on Beverly Road in Romulus we baptized 23 in the Name of Jesus, while on Ecorse & Merriman we baptized at least 12 and during our transition in Grand Traverse St., Westland, Michigan 219 and 20 souls so far at Romulus have went down in Jesus Name. Our goal for this year is 1000 souls, to God be the glory.
