Our History
“Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
~Habakkuk 2:2-3
On December 5, 2004 the vision the Lord gave to Pastor George Sharps surely came to pass. On this day after continued prayer, fasting, meditation on scriptures and seeking God’s face for direction, Jesus Lives Ministry (JLM) was founded. The ministry began worshipping at Tyler Heights Elementary School in Annapolis, Maryland. Pastor Sharps and his spiritual son Pastor Melvin Dickens expounded the Word of God with compassion and conviction.
​
God added to the body of Christ at the school and therefore, a new sanctuary was needed. JLM believed and trusted God for a place to worship without time restrictions. Pastor Sharps’ heart is for Kingdom Building. He desires to see the people of God prosper in all areas of their lives. Faith is the foundation of JLM. Within a year of fellowshipping at the school, God answered the prayers of His people. In November 2005, the ministry moved from the school to its very own building in Hanover, Maryland. This move was a blessing and testimony of God’s faithfulness. God allowed souls to be saved and many lives to be restored to the joy of His salvation. The ministry outgrew this sanctuary in order to accommodate the people of God.
​
God has blessed this fellowship tremendously. With God on our side this ministry continues to be a blessing community. JLM is a non-denominational house of worship and prayer. Pastor Sharps is a humble and devoted Shepard who loves to teach the Word of God wherever he goes. He and Sister LaTandria encourages and reminds the body of Christ of how much they are appreciated in their services to God and reaching out to the people from all walks of life. Eyes have not seen, neither ears heard what great things are in store for JLM. Our best is yet to come! To God be the glory!
