Praise Power Celebration, Inc. is the ministry home of Apostle Thomas Wesley Weeks, Sr. Its purpose is to host events that are a meeting place for people to encounter God and for God to encounter His people.

The events will range from A Day of Prayer to a four-day gathering of thousands to worship, pray, praise, dance, preach, teach and glorify the God of our salvation. Special events such as mission crusades, pastoral seminars and ministry retreats will also be sponsored by the ministry.

Apostle Weeks desires and aims to create the atmosphere that’s conducive for an encounter with God at all ministry events. Nobody will depart in the same condition(s) as they came. There is an expectation of a POWERFUL move of God for spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional healing and deliverance, with the lost receiving salvation.
