Zonelle Thompson
Wife of one of the most powerful evangelists of our time, mother of two wonderful children, seven grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren, Zonelle Thompson feels the Lord has brought her full circle in Christian ministry.
She was raised in Dallas, Texas, daughter of Reverend Bracy and Mildred Greer. She was the only sister to four brothers, and she refers to herself as the PK (preacher’s kid) who married another PK, Evangelist Dwight Thompson. They have been married for 64 years.
Zonelle has traveled and ministered along side her husband throughout the United States and the world, for the past 60 years. She always thought that her contribution to the Lord’s Kingdom was rather predictable service within the roles of wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
That is, until the Lord inquired of her, “How many more notebooks will you fill, books will you read, seminars will you attend before you will go and make a difference yourself? How many times will you fly over your own mission field to reach foreign mission fields?”
While passing out Bibles in Russia, the Lord convicted her heart by asking, “How many Bibles have you distributed at home… in your own backyard?”
Zonelle became the founder and president of Operation; STITCHES in 1993. The acronym stands for: Saving The Inner-city Through Christ’s Hope: Eternal Salvation.
This missionary outreach to America’s crime-ridden, inner-cities at-risk children, brings the Good News of Jesus Christ in an 18-ft pink trailer, brightly painted with dinosaurs. STITCHES is a 6-foot dinosaur mascot, an ex-gang member himself, saved by grace. Today there is an invasion of many of these trailers in many inner-cities across this country, evangelizing children and families who would not otherwise hear the Gospel message.
God has given Zonelle a divine love for souls, and an obsession for helping people transform their very existence. She is both humbled and amazed by what the Lord is accomplishing through just one grandmother’s simple obedience.
