Principal
Bishop Omar Elliott
Bishop Omar Elliott oversees Restoring Lives Worship Center UK, in London and Goodmayes, along with Restoring Lives Worship Center CT in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Restoring Lives Worship Center VA in Ashburn, Virginia — where lives are transformed through revelation of the word of God.
He was born in Kingston, Jamaica. During his teenage years he did his own thing and got involved in selling drugs and hanging out. He immigrated to the United States, where he continued to live the same lifestyle.
After the birth of his daughter Omisha, he began to evaluate his life. He was invited to Mighty Move of God Deliverance Temple, where the Pastor is Apostle E.R.T. Williams. One Sunday morning in June 1997 he heard the voice of God, which instructed him to surrender his life to the Lord. He separated himself from those of his former life and spent his time in prayer and in the word.
He is anointed of the Lord, a student of the Word and a true worshipper. One of the many gifts that operate in his life is the gift of the “Word of Knowledge”.
He preaches the uncompromised word of God without excuse. He has the heart of his Father God and he loves to win souls. He prays for the sick and they recover, and casts out demons in the name of Jesus. To date he has preached in America, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, where he has seen many lives changed.
His life was divinely connected to his wife Elizabeth in 1999. They celebrated the birth of their daughter Elomara in 2002, and their son Elijah in 2009.
