In 1988 Greater Faith Deliverance Temple was founded by the Late Bishops Nelson and Lori Coe. Through this ministry, healing and deliverance was core as the spirit of prophecy as center focus. The Late Bishops met people of all and offered faith, hope, and excellence in God. His wife, the Late Bishop Lori Coe was First Lady and Co-Pastor until the transitioning of her husband in 2006 when she beca
me Pastor of Greater Faith Deliverance Temple. It was through their ministry did they birth some leaders of today. Greater Faith, affectionately known as, was also a traveling ministry who knew no bounds. They’ve traveled up and down the east coast and beyond doing the work of God in revivals and or fellowship meetings. It was one of the “road trips” the niece of Late Bishop Lori Coe received a prophetic word from a prophet unknown to her. The Prophet declared the mantle of Pastor Lori Coe is on her niece, LaShonda Harrell. This prophecy was spoken when LaShonda Harrell was a late teen/early adult. Over the years, as Greater Faith Deliverance Temple undergone membership fluctuations. LaShonda, while yet, “a runner” not ready to accept the call of ministry took to a life separated from the church. Eventually, she would answer the call. The passing of Bishop Nelson Coe sent shockwaves throughout the church especially in the east coast United States in 2006. During this time, LaShonda Harrell was being groomed for ministry and became Pastor of her own church The Upper Room Deliverance Ministries installed by Bishop T.H. Swenson of the American Fellowship Churches in 2007. The mantle was passing in midair as Elijah passed his to Elisha. Haven’t yet caught the mantle, LaShonda Harrell was consecrated to the sacred offices of Apostle, Bishop, and Senior Prophetess under Apostle Trevor T. Green where she co-founded The Holy Church of Twelve Tribes Apostolic Kingdom in 2010. Alongside of Apostle Trevor Green, Her Eminence Apostle LaShonda C. Harrell participated in an Ecumenical relationship with the Worldwide Celtic Communion of Churches and was one third of a Congress of Apostles and Bishops. The Lord released Apostle LaShonda Harrell to formulate an autocephalous umbrella ministry The Upper Room Apostolic Fellowship of Kingdom Christian Churches in 2015. A church designed to unite the faith. It was during these early years of Apostle LaShonda Harrell’s ministerial life, Pastor Lori Coe moved Greater Faith Deliverance Temple to Douglasville Georgia where Prophetess Chanda Phifer her right hand was second in command. Together, they were two powerful women in God in a male predominate ministry, yet still bringing healing and deliverance. The name of their church went through a change as it was preparing to be submitted to an umbrella ministry. The new name was called Greater Faith Voice of Deliverance where Pastor Lori Coe was consecrated as an Overseer. She served this ministry until her untimely passing. At her homegoing service, Apostle LaShonda Harrell, duly vested with the orthodox pectoral and purple amethyst signet ring Overseer Lori Coe as a fully consecrated Bishop. After the passing of Bishop Lori Coe, there was a void left. The legacy of Greater Faith was left vacant. The sheep were scattered because a successor was not officially named premortem. The Lord planted seeds in Apostle LaShonda Harrell to pick up and carry the torch. For six years, Apostle LaShonda spent running away from such assignment. She didn’t think they would receive her or was it even hers to pursue. Other Apostles, Prophets, and those operating in the Spirit of God was used to remind Apostle LaShonda Harrell to “pick up the mantle.” After receiving the blessings from the first ministers of Greater Faith Deliverance Temple and Voice of Deliverance, in 2023 Apostle picked up the mantle and birthed. Greater Faith Kingdom Ambassadors Ministries. It’s the old meets new. The Legacy continues. Bishop Lori Coe prophetically declared to others that Apostle LaShonda Harrell would be the one to carry it. And carry it she shall. Bishop Lori Coe has poured it out into Apostle LaShonda Harrell and left the mantle to her.
