Prophetess Deitra Walker
 

Deitra M. Walker was born and raised in Los Angeles, California where her testimony is a collection of her life experiences that ultimately was the process God ordained to make Deitra into the vessel and instrument for the masters use. Many unlawful involvements molded Deitra into a lifestyle of criminal and violent behavior. This conduct placed her into custody of a Beverly Hills correctional facility. Weeks of incarceration gave her an audience with the Lord who began to speak to her concerning the plans he had for her life. After sincere repentance and renewed dedication Deitra was released without any charges. Now her purpose in God can be fulfilled and is currently exposed throughout the body of christ as she travels both nationally and internationally preaching and teaching the word of God. This ministry gift also serves in her local church as State minister of music of the True Holiness Churches of Central Florida. Deitra Walker has recently etablished a summitry of leaders under the umbrella of Fresh Flow ministries,inc a fellowship for kingdom builders where she brings a Prophetic Summit to the bay area in local areas. Her aim is to take it into both large and small venues to bring the presence, power, and authority of God into the lives of God's people without any mainstream politics. It is my desire to see the people of God enriched and blessed by the content of God's word and have in their worship experience a fresh flow of God's spirit moving in every season of their lives. It is indeed the time and season for fullment and completion and God is setting the stage for the manifestation of the son's of God. In this next year 2008 Miracle manifestation will dominate the lives that have great expectation for new beginnings. In her words: I am always intrigued by energetic, aspiring,and anointed people who know their purpose spiritually and supernaturally. It doesn't matter what arena you're in you were born for a purpose with a purpse on purpose. So many people suffer with identity crisis because they haven't hooked up with God concerning their mission in life. Especially those of the house hold of faith we have enough celebrity saints and preachers who seek self gratification and the need to impress the masses with public displays of superiority. God is raising up a nation that will declare his word with power and be used uniquely. It's time to be what God called you to be, Do what God has anointed you to do, and advance in the kingdom of God for such a time as this...

Their ministry emphasizes the importance of being ready for the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ by being filled with the Holy Ghost and staying filled. Genaro and Mary are both bilingual in the Spanish language (native language for Genaro).


They speak the Word of God boldly and without compromise. The Word of God is confirmed by the Holy Spirit through miracles, signs, wonders, and healing.

Several hundred were reported healed and delivered. Similarly when they ministered in 2005 North Hampton, England several hundred were filled with the Holy Ghost and again in 2005, about 1200 accepted the Lord and were filled with the Holy Ghost in Torreon, Mexico.

Because of their passion “Prepare the Way Ministries” was developed to offer their evangelistic ministry to the public and to teach others how to fulfill the call of evangelism in these last days. This is our vision and the mission of Prepare the Way Ministries.

Mary and Genaro have been married for 33 years and have 3 adult children, two sons and one daughter (also in ministry), and 3 beautiful grandchildren.
