 The History of the
Ministry...
Edward J. Scott is the
President of The Spreading the Gospel Around the World / E. J.
Scott Ministries. This ministry was born in the spirit
of Pastor Scott in 1998. One night he woke up and
said that God commanded and commissioned him to "Spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ around the World." He then
brought the idea to The Shiloh Christian Fellowship Church of New
Orleans, LA, where he was the Senior Pastor. When Shiloh started it's TV broadcast on the
American Christian Television System, ACTS of New Orleans, channel
76 in Jefferson Parish in February 2003, they named it
"Spreading the Gospel Around the World." This
broadcast was reaching people in the Jefferson Parish area.
However, Pastor Scott said that he knew that God commissioned him
to go further and reach more people for Jesus! Therefore,
after consulting with Denean, his faithful and devoted wife, and
after much prayer and fasting, they felt led to launch out into
the deep as Jesus told his disciples, and to monetarily start and
financially support E. J. Scott Ministries, L.L.C./Spreading the
Gospel Around the World. The broadcast went on WHNO Channel
20. People were calling in for prayer from New Orleans;
Amite, LA; Bridge City, LA; French Settlement, LA; Slidell, LA;
Gold Meadow, LA; Houma, LA; Avondale, LA; and Harahan, LA.
The VISION of "Spreading the Gospel Around the World"
had begun.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina - the most devastating
hurricane to ever hit the United States of America - hit New
Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding areas. This hurricane
unleashed her fury all across the Gulf Coast, causing many
residents to evacuate. The day after Hurricane Katrina hit
the city of New Orleans, LA the levies of New Orleans began to
breach. The flooding was devastating, destructive, and
deadly. The entire lower 9th ward, New Orleans East and many
other areas were completely destroyed. Pastor Scott led four
New Orleans based ministries - Shiloh Christian Fellowship
Baptist Church; Shiloh Christian Fellowship Economic
Development Foundation, the "Bread of Life Baptist
Mission," and Spreading the Gospel Around the World
Ministries / E. J. Scott Ministries, L.L.C. which were all
destroyed. Pastor
Scott and his family evacuated to Dallas, Texas where he was led
to start the Temple of New Life Baptist Church. On January
23, 2006 "Spreading the Gospel Around the World / E. J. Scott
Ministries" moved into another phase. It went on the
KGGR - AM 1040 Radio Station Monday through Friday at 3:15PM to
3:30PM praying for people. This broadcast reaches the entire
Dallas Metroplex Area. People call in for prayer from 100
miles north, 100 miles south, 100 miles east, and 100 miles west
of Dallas, TX. 1000's of people have been prayed for through
this ministry and most of all their prayers have been answered by
God! Many call in on a daily basis to give "Praise
Reports!" The great thing about this ministry is that
it has only begun to do what God has commissioned and commanded
Pastor Scott to do! KJV 1 Cor. 2:9 But as it is written, Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. September
1, 2008 Hurricane Gustav hit New Orleans. Over 2 million people
evacuated. On September 13, 2008 Hurricane Ike hit Louisiana and
Texas. Pastor Scott began to relive the horrible plight of the
people of God when Hurricane Katrina launched it’s fiery. He
revisited the streets of New Orleans, and witnessed first hand the
blight and devastation that was still imminent even after 3 years.
He felt the tugging of the Holy Spirit telling him to return and
help rebuild New Orleans. On October 5, 2008, “The Temple of New
Life Baptist Church” celebrated it’s 3rd year Anniversary.
Pastor Scott in formed “The Temple of New Life Baptist Church”
in Dallas that God was calling him to return to New Orleans to
help rebuild the city. On November 9, 2008 “E. J. Scott
Ministries” and “The Temple of New Life Baptist Church” of
New Orleans, La. was started in New Orleans, La. in Pastor Edward
J. and Sis. Denean Scott’s home. The great work of the Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ continues again in New Orleans.
