Dr. Shirley Pearson Archer had her first encounter with the spirit of God in her early teenage years. Although she knew there was a calling on her life, the purpose of her calling was not yet revealed. She moved to the Washington DC Metropolitan Area in 1985, and seven years later she discovered her God-given purpose after a traumatic incident of injustice left her emotionally and mentally devastated, and physically torn. In the midst of the battle for justice, God compelled Dr. Archer to stand so that His glory would be manifested to the world.
