Apostle Leroy Thompson Sr. is a native of Louisiana and the Pastor of Word of Life Christian Center and Chief overseer of Leroy Thompson Ministerial Association (LTMA). He accepted Christ as his personal savior in September of 1972. In October of that same year he was water baptized. From that moment on he was a man after God’s own heart. On December 30, 1973 he was called into the ministry to preach God’s Word. Apostle Thompson became an ordained minister on May 24, 1975.
In the fall of 1983 he was baptized with the Holy Ghost and his life catapulted. Knowing who he was in Christ, what belongs to him, and what he can do in Christ birth forth a new dimension in his ministering to God’s people. In 1984, he was instructed by the Spirit of God to change the name of the church from Mt. Zion Baptist Church (a 104 year old traditional Baptist Church) to Word of Life Christian Center. He began teaching people how to live the life of faith; how to walk by faith and not by sight; how to be well and not sick; how to live and not die; how to keep the devil under their feet; how to live the victorious abundant life in Christ Jesus and how to be led by the Spirit of God. Church membership at that time was approximate 75 – the majority being children. Membership today has increased to over 2,000 and counting. It was here that he knew he was being used to “CHANGE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH THE WORD OF GOD”.
