Dr. C. R. Johnson: Founder

Brooklyn Tabernacle Deliverance Center

The late Dr Clarence Ray Johnson was a man of honor, truth, integrity, faith, obedience, compassion, charisma and a gifted teacher He began his pilgrimages as a member of the Williamsburg Christian Church, and a few years later he received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior while serving time in the United States Armed Services.

Dr Johnson continued on a spiritual journey through various ministries, where the Lord used and elevated him. The Lord gave Dr Johnson a desire to travel, and while traveling the Lord gave him a burden for missions. As a result he supported and ministered the Gospel in many countries throughout the world.

Dr Johnson was a highly anointed man and he was very sensitive and obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit. God showed him through a vision to establish his own ministry in Brooklyn and marched his congregation into 600 Lafayette Avenue.

Dr Johnson always looked to Jesus: he stood firm and strong on the "Word" of God. He was a no-nonsense Minister He was not only blessed to be the Founder of BTDC, but also Community Bible Institute, Brooklyn Tabernacle Christian Academy/Day Care and Lift Up Jesus Ministry to name a few Dr Johnson had a great love for his members and the Ministry.

We thank God for the life of Dr Clarence Ray Johnson.
