Prophet Edwin Newsome

In the year of 1992 Prophet Edwin Newsome for the first time sang before a crowd of over 30,000 people in the National Baptist Convention. He was selected out of a choir of 4 thousand to sing two solos. The crowd was amazed by his vocal ability and anointing which allowed Edwin to see through this exposure that he has the measure for thousands. He then began to open up for events with praise and worship and travel with one of the national evangelist Prophet Dawson of the Churches of God in Christ. It was through this ministry that he was exposed to the prophetic, which answered the question of the prophetic call on his life. It was also through this association; Edwin would inherit the spiritual linage of the late Mother Elsie Shaw who served under the late Bishop Charles Harrison Mason the founder of the Churches of God in Christ as the national intercessor. Edwin then began to conduct prayer meetings in his local church where many signs, miracles and wonders were manifested. In pursuit of higher education Edwin moved to Columbus, Oh in August of 1998 to attend the nationally known World Harvest Bible College under the leadership of Pastor Rod Parsley, majoring in biblical theology with an emphasis in praise and worship. This is where Edwin received another spiritual lineage connecting him with the anointing that flowed through the late Lester Summerol from Smith Wigglesworth. While attending World Harvest Bible College Edwin traveled with Pastor Rod Parsley, Mother Parsley, assisted in directing the bible college choir, faithfully directed prayer advances, and sung on the front line worship team for the World Harvest Church. Through this ministry he has touched some of the leading ministries of our day, such as Bishop T.D. Jakes, Prophetess Junita Bynum, Pastor Donnie Mcklurklin, Keith Dobbins and so many more. Edwin went on to graduate and received his degree in biblical theology in June 2000. In January 2001 Edwin left the World Harvest Church to become one of the leading praise and worship leaders at the All Nations Church International under the leadership of Apostle Brian Keith Williams. Where he is known for his spirituality and prophetic insight, being then ordained as an Elder in praise and worship and a Prophet to the body of Christ. Upon the prompting of the Holy Spirit, Prophet Newsome in 2004 got married and received from God his first baby boy and started his non-profit organization. Seeing a need to re-organize The Company of Prophets, He named the ministry "Elisha’s Cloak," giving an emphases that there is a new generation that has received the empowerment of the prophetic office, of which he has a host of ministry gifts that he mentors and pastors. The ministry has received its 501C3 status from the IRS and is involved in many empowering social, economic, spiritual and educational programs and services. Prophet Newsome shows the valuable initiative to leave an impact and give a significant contribution to his society. Prophet Newsome is already a international ministry gift and in the words of his mentor, Pastor Rod Parsley, "Let the Revolution Begin."
