“Dr. La Tarsha” as she is affectionately called, boldly walks in the prophetic anointing of the Mantle God has placed on her life…..“Walking In The Favor After The Fire”. Overcoming adversity is putting it mildly when speaking in terms of Dr. La Tarsha. She has endured childhood molestation, the struggles of being a single parent, the darkness that overshadows depression and …She is a true survivor. She has learned to apply Godly principles to her everyday life to become an overcomer.

La Tarsha is a highly anointed, gifted, and powerful Educator, Preacher, Teacher, and Mother who flows in the prophetic gifts of the spirit. Accepting the calling on her life, she answered by operating in a Prophetic Deliverance Ministry. She fully carries out Luke 4:18. It is her sincere desire to see the gospel spread abroad; to the brokenhearted mended; for deliverance to be preached to the captives; to see blind eyes opened; the lame to be made to walk; and to see those that are bound be set free. She believes it is essential that everyone walk in their God given abilities and reach for their destiny in God.

In this hour, hers is a voice that God is using to dispel the myths of traditionalism, religiousism and reveal God’s original intent as it relates to men and women and them assuming their rightful place in the Kingdom. The Girl in The Gap ignites La Tarsha’s passion to minister to women who are hurt and broken. It allows her to assist them in achieving spiritual, physical, and emotional wholeness. She carries an intangible anointing for the nation and is equipped to move the people of God into the Kingdom Agenda™: answering the call to Return to Holiness.

Some of the divine assignments that La Tarsha has embraced are: She has served in various capacities and fulfilled many leadership roles including Executive Administrator, Youth Pastor, Assistant Pastor and Pastor. Her labor in the vineyard has helped to birth other ministry gifts that have developed her into the woman of God she is today.

Her powerful, life-changing, prophetic messages are wrapped in grace and elegance. She has developed a hands-on approach to ministry, serving God’s people right where they are and pushing them to where they are destined to be. She hosts a monthly Prophetic Prayer Call the first Monday of each month. She facilitates many webinars in conjunction with Kingdom Vessels Christian Bible Institute & Seminary.
