Perfective Faith Ministries
Perfective Faith Ministries (PFM) began on Sunday, Aug. 6, 2017 upon the leading and unction of the Lord.
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." — Matthew 25:35-36
Overseer Lonnie Thomas, Jr. and Pastor Sheena Thomas are faithful servants of the Kingdom of God who have a passion for evangelism & outreach ministries, serving the wounded and lost as well as the forgotten. We are willing vessels used to preach, teach and do whatsoever is necessary to serve the body of Christ.
Within the community, we are passionate about feeding the hungry, visiting the sick & shut-in and caring for the holistic needs of others. We also believe that there is so much work to be done in order to reach the lost within our community, and abroad as well.
"Then saith He unto His disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the Harvest, that He will send forth laborers into His Harvest." — Matthew 9:37-38
As we attend to the spiritual needs of those we encounter, we also believe God for provision to minister to the physical, emotional and psychological needs as well — just as Jesus had done; therefore, our focus is the whole individual.
At PFM, we believe in relating to others on a basic human level by providing long-term spiritual support and available resources for immediate situations. In doing so, it is our sincere honor to establish a partnership, while helping you grow spiritually as you get to know Jesus Christ your savior.
Therefore, we welcome you here at Perfective Faith Ministries to partner with us and to begin your new journey in Christ, with us.

Pastor
Pastor Sheena Thomas
Pastor Sheena Thomas is a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and maintains a hunger and thirst for the Lord as well as dedication to her family and life's mission.
Pastor Sheena received Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at the age of 16, and has since served the Kingdom of God by working throughout in various capacities, such as Sunday School Teacher, Minister, Assistant Pastor, Community Organizer and Church Administrator.
Pastor Sheena is a faithful servant of the Lord who maintains a passion for evangelism and community outreach, which involves serving the lost as well as the forgotten. She is a willing vessel, used to preach, teach and do whatsoever is necessary to serve the 'household of faith' as well as anyone who is in need.
Her professional background is within the field of Behavioral Health and Psychology as a licensed professional counselor. She presently has a B.S. degree in Psychology as well as an M.A. degree in Counseling. As a clinician, her interests and current work is with victims and survivors of trauma.
Currently, Pastor Sheena faithfully serves at Perfective Faith Ministries in Philadelphia, PA where her husband, Pastor Lonnie Thomas, is the Overseer. As a woman of God, she has been anointed to teach, preach, minister, pray and prophesy by the governing authority and unction of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Sheena is a person who highly values integrity, commitment and obedience to God as well as to all things that pertain unto Him. With that being said, her mission in life is to empower, strengthen and educate others (especially women) to become and endeavor to remain the best version of themselves according to their purpose and destiny in Christ.
Although she has many favorite scriptures, her internal mantra is that of Psalms 52:9 which speaks,
"I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints" (KJV).
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
