Velma Hamilton is a dynamic woman of faith and action.
Her early life, raised amidst hard economic times, has equipped her to relate to
people of all social walks of life.
As the oldest daughter of two ministers, the author grew up amid the grinding
and segregation of the rural South in the 1950s
Her early childhood began in the South where she was introduced to different
types of cultures and racial issues. Her first adolescent years of education
began with attending an all black segregated school.
As
a child, she watched her parents work hard to make a living for their family.
The family experienced hard economic times. The small town they lived in did not
have many jobs. Therefore, her parents would have to leave her brother and
sisters with their grandmother in Norwood, North Carolina, while they would go
to work in New York.
Later in 1960, Velma's family moved to California where she finished her
education and her family began to experience the better things in life.
On September 18, 1971, Velma married R.C. Hamilton in San Dimas California,
and later moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Both her and her husband were already in
ministry but God began to call them to a higher calling. This was the beginning
of their pilgrimage, for they dedicated their lives to God and to the ministry
of Prayer and Holiness.
Our
mission is to establish seven altars of prayers in seven different states. For
the trimming of the lamps of the Body of Christ.
One way we will establish these altars is by giving you the WORD of
GOD through tapes and books.
