Pastor Ivory Jenkins Jr., the son of Ivory Sr. and Brenda Jenkins was born on May 23, 1971, in Milford, DE. Pastor Jenkins is a graduate of Seaford Senior High School. Since Pastor Jenkins was born into a family of preachers and teachers, he accepted Christ at the age of ten.

In his early Christian life, the late Bishop A. Dukes realized that a great anointing was upon his life. Within a short period of time God began to mold and make Pastor Jenkins into what he would have him to be.

At the age of fifteen Pastor Jenkins was diagnosed with leukemia, and was given a short time to live.

Bishop Dukes being led by the Holy Ghost instructed Pastor Jenkins to drink olive oil for seven days. God gave Pastor Jenkins a miracle by healing him of this terminal illness. Upon his healing Pastor Jenkins accepted the call to preach God’s word.

Later after the passing of the late Bishop A. Dukes, Pastor Jenkins joined The 7th Day Holy Church of Deliverance, under the leadership of Dr. Mary L. Alexander. During his time spent in this ministry Bishop Alexander helped to develop the calling upon his life that was predestined by God.

In 1994 Pastor Jenkins moved to New Jersey under the leadership of the late Rev. L. Wyatt. There he served as Youth Pastor, Sunday School Teacher, Church Evangelist, Choir Director and Praise and Worship leader. In the early part of 1999, after much praying and fasting, the vision that God had given him was finally becoming a reality.

On March 7, 1999, Fountain of Praise Deliverance Tabernacle was born. Many people are being blessed and filled with the Holy Ghost. Souls that have experienced the power of Christ through this ministry have matured and grown in spiritual knowledge, as well as a stronger personal relationship with God.
