EOM Chief Apostle and Founder Lawrence C. Dunbar
EOM Lady Debra Dunbar
Chief Apostle Lawrence C Dunbar was born in Bradenton, Florida and his home was in a rural country town called Rubonia. He lived with his grandfather along with mother, three brothers, and two sisters. His spiritual beginnings started with Baptist and Methodist. However, most of his biblical foundation originated from the Church of God in Christ. In his community he was labeled “the boy who would not amount to anything". He was a young boy filled with anger and hate; destined for reform school and jail. The Lord delivered him at the age of thirteen when he accepted Him as Lord and Savior. The Lord alone was the only one who could empower Chief Dunbar to change his life and destiny. The Lord inspired him to start teaching Sunday school at the age of sixteen and he has been teaching ever since. His school years were very challenging and he was treated as an outcast. Many of the teachers had given up on him and did not provide him an adequate education. He learned how to read and write at home and in Sunday school. His secular educational journey did not really start until he was in the eleventh grade. God gave him favor with one of his high school teachers, Mr. Albert Bilger, who tutored him and was instrumental in helping him to graduate from high school, he also assisted him in obtaining a scholarship with one of the local colleges but the Lord told Lawrence to join the United States Army for more structure and disciple.The Lord called Lawrence into ministry in 1978 during basic training. In 1981, the Lord called him to pastor his first church, Abundant Life COGIC in Kitzingen, Germany. During this time he met and married his lovely wife, Debra Ann Widemon and they have been married for 29 years. Apoatle Dunbar has also Pastored in Kentucky and twice in Korea.Throughout his spiritual journey the Lord has blessed him to serve in many positions state side and overseas including Pastor, Assistant Pastor, Sunday school Superintendent/Teacher,Children/Youth leader. In the military he served in various leadership positions from Corporal to Command Sergeant Major and retired from the Army in 2001. After retiring he continued his education. He graduated first in his class at Colorado State University Pueblo, Winner of the 2006 Threlkeld Prize for Excellence an award for outstanding community service. Two years later in 2008 he obtained his Masters degree in Social Work with emphasis on marriage/family relationships and post traumatic stress disorder. In March 2011, he accepted his calling as Apostle presiding over the ministries of the Evangelistic Outreach Ministries International. Remember, he was labeled as "a boy who would not amount to anything" but look where God has brought him. "We are "Compelled To Helping Others" Luke 14:23.
