THE HISTORY

It all started in 2009. As she matriculated through two seminaries, God was preparing Dr. Sylinda Jamison for the ministerial journey that would manifest itself in a season when the spirit of uncertainty was forever present for the female genre. God gave her the blueprint of an infrastructure for a mentoring ministry for young adult and adult women. The goal of this ministry was to defeat the stereotypical mindset of women, especially women of color. From her thesis topic, “From the Auction Blocks to the Tabletops: A ministry to save young girls of color.” She vowed to embrace, encourage, educate, equip, and empower, these beautiful, intellectual, and graceful creations. 

 After two failed attempts to implement this divine assignment under other avenues, God made it known to Dr. Jamison that this ministry was not designed to undergird another vision/ministry. This ministry was to stand alone and be a pillar of light for those women that are walking in darkness.

In search for guidance and understanding, Dr. Jamison found herself in a prostrate position in front of the throne of God. In June 2022, God reminded Dr. Jamison through a dream of the infrastructure He gave her in 2010. In this dream God allowed her to glimpse into her future and provide clarity of the divine assignment ahead. Through this process, God placed a penetrating zeal in her spirit of righteousness and perseverance for this new unique but familiar journey ahead.

On a mission to continue to focus on building the Kingdom of God one woman at a time, she shared her ideas with five strong women of God that she had grown to love and respect. Through many hours of video conference calls the five women, began to build the concept and framework of this ministry. God brought to Dr. Jamison’s remembrance of a small group ministry blue print she developed in 2010. 

On October 1, 2010, Dr. Jamison initially registered the ministry as a nonprofit organization with the Secretary of State of South Carolina under the name of Infinity International Outreach Ministries; however, God instructed her not to do anything with it. When the time was right to act, she would know.

As instructed by God on August 9, 2022, the name was changed to Epsilon Nu Psi Sorority, Inc. (ENP) with the South Carolina Secretary of State and the journey begun. Due to life challenges, three of the founders decided not to continue the journey.  The other two women continued and held office of Chief Operations Officer (COO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the ministry and Elder Matthew Jamison, Pastor of Solid Rock Worship Center COGIC would provide spiritual covering. God gave specific instructions: pray without ceasing and move in silence.

God conveyed several things to Dr. Jamison: to remain focused on the vision, purpose, and goal; a visionary leadership begins with the vision, don’t worry if your followers don’t always follow; sacrifice is required. He reminded her that He would never leave her nor forsake her. God reminded her that everything that is needed to succeed in this ministry has provided or will provide as long as she remains faithful and follow His direction.
