About Tommy Welchel

Tommy grew up in poverty in a welfare family.  His mother was completely illiterate, but she knew Tommy was going to be a “preacher man someday because God told her.” So, she took him to all those healing evangelist meetings hoping that he would receive their anointing and impartation.  His father was an alcoholic and violently abusive, in and out of prison in different states continuously due to drunkenness and illegal activities.  Tommy dropped out of school after the 6th grade and eventually pursued a life of crime until he met Sister Goldie in Venice Beach, CA. when he was 17 years old and on the run from the law.   He became a Christian and lived with the Azusa Street saints from 1960 – 1966.  He received his GED in his early thirties.  His career included security work, and he was a licensed Private Investigator.  Tommy is the father of two and grandfather of five.  He is now retired and living with his wife, Marlene, in Sun City, AZ.
