Pastor Tilesha Warren

Pastor Tilesha Warren answered the call to salvation in 2000 at Jerusalem Temple in Port Sulphur, Louisiana, under Prophet James Stovall, and was a member there until Hurricane Katrina displaced all of us in 2005.

In 2006 she joined Perfecting of the Saints Ministry under Adrienne Sumler, where she was ordained the following year as a Minister of the Gospel. There she was taught and later led intercessory prayer. This woman of God grew in ministry while raising her three children and led them in serving at a very young age. In order to lead out, she understood she had to first lead at home. Carlton, Coreion and Lyric are still her first church and serve alongside her in ministry.

In 2017, she was at a point where she was in and out of ministry and not as serious because of so much church hurt. Things suddenly changed on June 27, 2024, when her mother, Elder Arrdase Bartholomew, went in for a 45-minute procedure and never woke up. This turn of events would change the scope of Pastor Warren's fate forever. As she began to go through her healing — she bled out, she endured so much — she decided to record her healing journey. She didn't know why, but God did. So many watched her get through this.

In 2018 she realized why: so many people following her and asking about church. She decided to begin a homeless mission, and as she began to do that, so many followed her. God let her know in 2018 that these people from the club and the big drug dealers would be her sheep — go out unto the world and make disciples out of them. So it all made sense: in order for something to begin, something had to end.

As Pastor Warren says, "In result of my pain, suffering and broken ending, New Beginnings Ministry was there."
