History

Snellville Biblical Deliverance (SBDC) was founded by Dr. Jason E. Owen. From its inception, SBDC has been providing Biblically-based deliverance through the simple, practical teaching of the Word of God.

Its Vision of "Outreach, Deliverance, Discipleship... through the Word of God" was given by God to Dr. Owen while he was residing in Brooklyn, NY and serving under the leadership of the late Bishop James F. Copeland.

In 1997, the Owen family relocated to Snellville, GA and subsequently in 1998, the vision was established with a Bible Study that was held around the kitchen table of the Owen's home. In attendance were Dr. Owen, his wife Janine and their three young sons. The Bible Study later grew to include eight other families. During the Ministry's tenure in the home, God was faithful. The foundation of the Ministry took form and its spiritual structure was erected. The Ministry has seen the miraculous move of God as He, through His word has brought deliverance into the lives of countless souls.

In 2005, Dr. Owen, being led by the Spirit of God, passed the mantle of shepherding SBDC to his wife, Janine A. Owen, as he pursued the apostolic call upon his life. The foundation laid by Dr. Jason E. Owen has paved the way for the Ministry to continue to grow and mature.

Under the leadership of Pastor Janine A. Owen, SBDC's main focus has been to take the church outside of its walls by going into the community and sharing the powerful, life-changing, destiny altering Word of God to anyone who would listen. Through this practical approach, many have come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. A countless number of believers that had once experienced devastating events that left them discouraged and at the verge of giving up, have been revived and restored to their first love and to the service of the Master once again. Hallelujah!!!

Thirteen years have passed since the first gathering around the kitchen table and God's continued faithfulness is astounding. 2011 has been a year of defiance and revolt against the kingdom of the enemy. Many lives have been saved and have grown into spiritual maturity as individuals have experienced the freedom that comes from the delivering power of the Word of God.

As we go forward into our 14th year, we with excitement anticipate a double measure of spiritual perfection as we continue to fulfill the commission of our Savior Jesus Christ; by going into our community, city, state, nation and the world at large to proclaim the gospel... Mark 16:20 says " And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word with signs following."
