Mystery Location reveal: Morris Brown College ATL


In Daytona Beach, Florida, a group of believers prayed for direction (on 1.4.2013) for Lets Go Ministry Atlanta mission’s trip and threw three darts at a map of the city of Atlanta, Georgia. The first dart landed on the campus of Morris Brown College. Our intent was to pray for whomever we might find there. We use creative ministry tools thought up by team members and inspired by the Holy Spirit for each mission, helping bring suspense and success.


Outreach at Morris Brown College on January 9, 2013 is a day we will never forget.  As we pulled up to the corner of Vine and MLKJR Blvd to our ministry location down town Atlanta Ga, to our surprise 95% of the buildings boarded up. We knew God brought us to this location, so we parked in faith. As we walked around the buildings, past the abandoned stadium (which was built for the 1996 ATL Olympics) and abandon police cars and trucks we began to pray over the property for healing and restoration. As we were walking across a footbridge and praying we came across a building that had an unusual memorial sign, signifying “Victory Campaign 1944”; and on it were all the contributors. This stood out to us.

One of our Co-Laborers Russell Holloway, had it on his heart to pray for these descendants, that they would be blessed and the original vision the men had for the college would not be forgotten. We all came in agreement laid our hands together and asked God for breakthrough!

A Police officer just around the corner ended up being a huge breakthrough in this mission. He is a born again Christian, on site security Police officer.We asked him about the property, and why it was all boarded up.



He said MBC went through major changes due to a major failure and financial situation years ago. Part of the school is still running but not much. The whole time we were talking to the officer, my heart was touched. The officer said a few things that grabbed my attention, pointed us over to the admin building and right away I knew I was being led to go there and pray with the President of the school.

I had no idea how this would happen but I knew it was going to happen somehow. So I explained to Will and Russell what was on my heart and we headed into the admin building.

God was setting this up and no one could shake it off. We entered the school and I approached the secretary. Introduced myself and our purpose: “we are here to pray with the President of your college”. She smiled, and went in the back, and when she returned she was with the President of Morris Brown College Dr. Stanley J. Pritchett Sr.

I showed Dr Stanley a picture of the dart from my phone and the vision of our mission, and he was excited immediately. He wanted his whole staff to see it and for us to share with them personally. He called in about 13 staff members and opened the door for us to hear their hearts. We prayed and ministered to the entire staff, Will J. Dineen handed out our story tracts to everyone too. Two ladies in the room were descendants of some on the plaque who we prayed for; confirming what God was establishing.

Many had their cell phones out, taking pictures and video during the ministry time. They highly encouraged us, by their persistence in the midst of all we heard about. We kept speaking life and for the original vision to be kept strong and alive.

What really stood out to our team was how God used each of us. God’s heart is heavy for this school, and their property. He has forgiven the sins of past, and is reviving the vision. Just as God spoke to us as a team, we spoke it to these leaders.

Dr Stanley and his staff continued to express their amazement with how we met, over-joyed and impressed. The excitement of whats happening here still excites us and i know there is more.

I have already re-connected with President Dr. Stanley J. Pritchett, Sr. of Morris Brown College, and I shared a word God gave to me for him and his staff from my heart and how I want to help in any way I can; also affirming the words spoken by our team. Even though I have read some of the history, successes and failures, I see God is doing something amazing here and He sent us with a purpose to MBC; restoration, healing and the furtherance of the Gospel rising up in this generation.

Here is a picture (taken by Russell) of us after the ministry time: Also, if you would like to learn more about how you can help this school rebuild, contact us right away.

I want to give all the glory to Jesus Christ for this great impact. Also to our ATL mystery mission team (Will Dineen, Russell Holloway, Lets Go Ministry Executive board, intercessory team, Church support and financial team for making the vision and mission possible) for paving the way in prayer and prophetic insight.
