La Vaughn refers to herself as a Servant and delights in ministry. Her passion is spreading the Gospel of Christ and sharing her testimony about Salvation. Be it preaching on a soapbox in the streets or pulpits, locally and abroad. Be it one in attendance or ten thousand. La Vaughn’s adage, “I will love and show up for one as I would for ten thousand; and I will love and show up for ten thousand in hopes that all would receive the gift and power of Salvation as One with the Holy Spirit, Father, and Son.”
Her commitment and faithfulness earned her the honor of being the first woman to become a licensed Minister and Associate to the Pastor at New Bethel Missionary Church in Pontiac, Michigan. From there, the Holy Spirit gave life to an online Intercessory Prayer ministry that has been active daily since 2007.
Before becoming the first woman Preacher and minister at NBMB Church, the Holy Spirit burdened La Vaughn’s heart for the marginalized, orphans, and widows. She had no desire at all to be sitting down, confined inside the walls of a church building, especially in a pulpit.
Then it happened… The IT is described as a Damascus moment, the slaying by the Holy Spirit. La Vaughn heard the voice of Jesus Christ very clearly. The instructions were plain: “Go, prepare the Way!” By God’s Grace and the leading of the Holy Spirit, she answered Christ’s voice with a “Yes” to the Call for Discipleship. She forsook all and rededicated her whole life personally and professionally to spreading the Gospel of Christ. God gifted His servant with multiple talents, Godly wisdom, and creativity.
As a Community Activist, La Vaughn has advocated for the underprivileged and disabled. Her heart for service and volunteer efforts have garnered her a steady track record. Due to her commitment and dedication, God has placed her before Dignitaries and politicians. She has remained humble and obedient, using every opportunity to provoke repentance, awareness, and positive change.
La Vaughn has been unapologetic about her calling and purpose. Under her leadership at Healthy Blessings, community-based programs such as Angels and Future Leaders were created, implemented, and funded. Training Programs, specifically designed to teach inner-city youth leadership skills, respect, and responsibility. She tenaciously built bridges and partnerships between Communities and Corporations. She has intentionally used her gifts to lead people to Salvation, transformation/empowerment, and discipleship.
Salvation is always at the forefront, so La Vaughn founded SoulJourner Missionz. Through this ministry, discipleship training was implemented and incorporated by LaVaughn into outreach programs through life applications of biblical studies. She referred to it as Market Street Ministries, a creative way of going beyond the walls of the Church to multiply the Kingdom of God here on earth as it shall be in Heaven.
Currently, La Vaughn is living out one of the greatest calls ever: Motherhood! She is a joyful mother of a wonderful son, Albert Christian Josiah. Motherhood has prepared and equipped her for her most recent servant leader roles: Lead Pastor of Restored Houses of Prayer and Advisor on the Board of Teachers Who Pray, TWP.
