Prophet Dr. Karen E. McCray

​Prophet Dr. Karen E. McCray, founded the Oil For Joy Ministry to comfort, console and encourage the body of Christ to rise up, repair and rebuild the barren places of their lives and community based upon Isaiah 61: 1-4.  She uses revelatory wisdom, “the Anointing,” God’s gifts, and Godly strategies to set the captives free.  Prophet Karen "Believes God", embraces abundant life, and desires others in the kingdom of God to live victoriously.

The Oil For Joy Ministry believes that “Strategies to Elevate the Mind” (STEM) are keys to unlocking treasures within.  STEM includes preaching, teaching, exhortation, mentoring, coaching, leadership training, team-building, strategic planning, organizational assessments, and of course the Word of God to help individuals, teams, small groups, churches, businesses, and other non-profit organizations be successful in their endeavors.

Prophet Karen is a graduate of the University of Phoenix (UOP) and Family Bible College, Institute, & Seminary (FBCIS) from which she received her Human Service Administration and Doctorate of Ministry Degrees respectively.  She is a former member of the National Association of Professional Women, Secretary of The International Network of Women in Ministry, and professor at FBCIS.  Currently, she is working out her soul salvation with fear and trembling as a partner with Kingdom Deliverance Ministries International, under the pastoral care of Pastors Jimmie and Natalie Thompson.  Prophet Karen has two biological daughters, Michele Johnson and Dr.Latanya Hughes, one son-in-law Joel Johnson, and a loving grandson Matthew Johnson.
