Shelekha Levite Cohen Vincent P. Adams
Under the unction of the Holy Spirit, Tree of Life Messianic Apostolic Ministries was founded and co-founded by Apostle Vincent P. Adams and his wife, Leslie L. Adams. They were married in Stamford, Connecticut at Union Baptist Church and have nine children: Caroline, Lemuel, Meshach, Apollos (now with our Lord), Melchizedek , Enoch, Candace, Boaz, and Nehemiah. Apollos went home to be with our Heavenly Father at 3 months of age.
From his youth, Shelekha (Apostle) Vincent P. Adams was called to minister to the Body of Christ in numerous church positions; such as youth-elder, Sunday school and bible study teacher, alter & prayer minister, deacon walk, minister in training, and assistant pastor. He was ordained as a minister of Yeshuah The Messiah by the Elders of Universal Christian Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on August 4, 1996. Shelekha Vincent Adams matriculated at Oral Roberts University Graduate School Of Theology and Missions in 1998. He officially became a member of the Messianic movement in 2006 during Succot (Feast of Tabernacles) and was affectionately called Rabbi by his congregants. Through DNA analysis, Rabbi Vincent discovered that he is was falacia Jew by birth and a Levite directly descending from the line of Abraham, Moshe and Levi. He was also a business man and entrepreneur working as a real estate appraiser and investor which supported the ministry. Rabbi Vincent went home to be with Our Lord and Savior and ABBA our Heavenly Father suddenly on February 19, 2023 in the late afternoon. He was so dearly loved and will be greatly missed by many.

Our Vision
The Bible says "Without a vision, the people perish" Prov. 29:18. Here at Tree of Life/ Etz Hayim, our vision for the immediate and near future is to buy vacant rural or near rural farmland and construct a facility where God's People can come and be healed, set free and delivered. Those individuals in need of ministry would reside at the facility in a family setting for as long as needed to effect their healing. A suitable site for the ministry should include its own water source from natural springs and rivers located on the ministry land. The site should also be suitable for farming and light ranching of small animals, such as goats, chickens, and rabbits. It would also be the aim of the ministry to establish its own independent food source through farming, ranching, and hunting. The ministry staff and its residents would be responsible for maintaining all functions of the facility.
