"We're here to offer a hand up versus a hand out."
Prosperity Ministries Community Non Profit in Bear, DE

About us

Prosperity Ministries is a faith-based non profit organization, committed to meeting the needs of our community through outreach, training and development. With hands on workshops, leadership seminars, prison ministry, physical fitness groups and community events, we empower individuals to prosper physically, socially, economically and spiritually.


OUR VISION:  A state of the art, Life Resources & Training Center 

Our Story

This mission for empowerment has been supporting the community for 25 years; with this year our silver anniversary. Prosperity Ministries was founded in 1997 with a small community of believers. Today, we continue with a core team of Executive Staff Members and an Official Board for the purpose of meeting the needs of the community through outreach, training and development.


The mission is to empower every individual we engage to prosper for the purpose God created. We are a business that does ministry; and a ministry who does business. We are not a church but serves as a parachurch - one who works alongside churches. A resource to our community and a trusted resource for pastors. Where the business side seeks to aid and help businesses manage for good success.


We believe lives can be transformed by the renewing of minds. Offering a hand up versus a hand out. With a Christ-centered foundation, we know the word of God changes lives and the power of prayer knows no limits. For 25 years this has been our mentality in our prison ministry, community outreach and training. We have seen firsthand how training, development and preparation can empower people to reach new goals and do amazing things.

Mary is a motivator for ministry and a consultant for Prison Impact.

She has received a mandate for bringing clarity on the topic and at age 70 authored her first book, "Arise, Go Forth & Prosper." Although she has the uncanny ability to love and connect with all people, like Esther of the scriptures, her heart is burdened for such a time as this, for her own people - the African-American race.
