Our Church History
Rev. Leona "Clements" Benoit founded the ministry here in Lake Charles, Louisiana in 1987 by feeding homeless citizens on the street corners, and visiting the sick in local nursing homes, and visiting others in prisons and jails.
In 1990, Rev. Leona "Clements" Benoit founded the first Shelter for Homeless Women and Children called: (The Potter's House). In 1992, she founded the first Shelter for Homeless Men called: (The Lord's Place).
In December of 2000, Rev. Leona "Clements" Benoit founded the first Shelter for Homeless Children called: (The Wilderness Children's Home), which is currently being used as a Group Home for the Homeless.
In addition to these three ministries, in 1989 Rev. Leona "Clements" Benoit, also founded The Lord's Outreach Worship Center located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. This Annointed Place of Worship is located at the junctions of Martin Luther King Hwy. and La. Hwy 90. Approximately thirty (30) miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and thirty (30) miles from the Louisiana/Texas border.
Rev. Leona "Clements" Benoit is joined in this Ministry by her loving and supportive husband, Dr. Russell J. Benoit. Dr. Benoit is the Senior Pastor of the Lord's Outreach Worship Center.
In addition to being the Pastor of such an Annointed place of worship, Dr. Benoit is also an experienced 'Educator', 'Psalmist', and 'Certified Counselor'.
Dr. Benoit has been called of GOD, to be a leader in these last and evil days, to Teach and to Preach the uncompromised Gospel of Jesus Christ. GOD also uses him mightily in the areas of Deliverance. Pastor Benoit believes that the chains of darkness can be broken by knowing the will of GOD and by using Jesus' name.
Dr. Benoit preaches the Word of GOD in it's simplicity, so that he might reach all men. In 1998 Dr. Benoit founded The Lord's Outreach School of Theology, This School is registered with the Louisiana Board of Regents and is Fully Accredited through (TAC) Transworld Accrediting Commission.
