Wayne and Marcia McWhorter
NBM Founders
Wayne & Marcia McWhorter

The McWhorters were called into ministry in 1978 from their careers in computers and nursing. After attending Bible School they returned home to the Atlanta area and currently reside in Lawrenceville, Ga. They are the parents of three sons and a daughter-in-law living in the same area. Both are ordained ministers, holding credentials in several churches in both the U.S. and Kenya.

After serving as Associate Pastors in several churches, they founded and pastored a new work in Lawrenceville for six years. Wayne's mother was found with incurable cancer requiring constant care so they released their church to another. After her death, they returned to ministry transitioning into a teaching, missions, and counseling ministry. Wayne and Marcia have been deans of several Bible colleges and as instructors have helped to train a new generation of ministers and counselors. Each year they travel abroad with teams to such places as Africa, Jamaica, India, Peru, and Costa Rica to establish Bible schools and to provide hands on training for developing ministers. The first Bible school they established overseas was the Christian College of Kenya.

Marcia also operates a Christ-centered, Biblical Counseling Center and holds a Bachelor's degree in Nursing with a Masters of Arts degree in Pastoral Counseling. She is currently an RN in the State of Georgia and a Certified Marriage & Family Therapist. The counseling ministry began from these experiences of struggling and hurting people in the churches. Wayne and Marcia have been married for 37 years and have insights for families as well as ministries. Marcia has over 18 years of counseling experience in resolving life's conflicts and assisting people in healing and restoration from the struggles of life. Her approach is cross-centered, biblical in focus with prayer as an integral part of the restoration process. Marcia came from a family of depression and death and has worked with invalids and cancer patients. Her personal insights and victories over these struggles will encourage clients to push through their problems as well. Marcia has recently branched out in her counseling practice adding additional counselors to help her in certain specialty fields.

They believe in the miraculous power of God to transform lives, having experienced it first hand. At the age of five, Marcia was stricken with a rare incurable blood disease (agammaglobulinemia; similar to the boy in the plastic bubble on television) which kept her homebound and often bedridden. At the age of ten, against all medical advice, her mother took her to an Oral Robert’s tent meeting in Marietta, Georgia where she was miraculously healed and began a pathway to a worldwide vision & ministry. God also provided a miracle of healing to their son at the age of four raising him from a death bed in intensive care of spinal meningitis. Through the power of prayer, Marcia’s mother was healed of kidney stones, which had existed for six years. Another son was totally healed and restored after a bad vehicle wreck had left him in a wheelchair in 2001. While they have personally witnessed God’s healing power, they have also learned how to remain victorious and compassionate in the face of tragedy and loss as they ministered to other family members with cancer who died.

Marcia and Wayne have a heart for the training of young ministers and counselors worldwide and the development and growth of people. They have worked as Campus and Academic Deans as well as instructors in local bible colleges for over 10 years. They have set up bible colleges overseas as well as locally with over 13 years in overseas mission work. They support two orphanages overseas and travel to teach and to train a new generation of ministers and counselors. Each year they travel overseas bringing teams who want to learn "hands-on" ministry. Marcia has supervised counselors in training and is currently mentoring certain people for counseling and ministry training. They have over 26 years of experience in ministry and have held positions in almost all areas of church wide ministry at some time: staff ministers, pastors, missions, evangelism, Christian education as well as youth, nursery & children, and counseling backgrounds. They have been mentors in ministry for many years now with many spiritual children.

Our Vision
Our programs help fulfill our vision by preparing and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry. We are here to first bring a restoration and wholeness to the believer and then assist in discipleship and training. It is our belief that all in the Body of Christ have a destiny in God, a place of calling upon their lives. Our goal is to help you find your calling and gifting in God and to develop and perfect those gifts for the ministry. Our purpose is to strengthen and build the whole man: spirit, soul, and body. We mentor in missions, counseling and five fold ministry gifts but will help those in helps ministry find their gifts and recommend where to use those gifts. We have opportunities for ministry internship with quality ministries that can help develop your "hands on" training. Our vision is to teach you in a class setting but also allow you to practice your gift to round out your training. Able, effective ministers with godly character is the fruit we desire from our mentoring program. We will have a training school in the near future to assist this endeavor. In summary, we want to heal you, train you, set you on fire and then send you forth into the Lord's harvest.

The Ministry
The ministry of New Beginnings has a threefold focus. A major focus is to bring the power and wisdom of God’s Word into the personal counseling arena, providing inner healing, restoration and growth. New Beginnings Counseling Center is operated under the direction of Marcia to provide compassion and Biblical revelation to hurting people. The second focus is to restore, train and equip the saints for ministry by identifying and developing their gifts. This is accomplished not only by mentoring and seminars, but also by providing hands on experience with local ministries and short-term mission trips. Third, but equally important is that of supporting overseas missions by bringing in U.S. teams to impact and renew these mission works. These teams support church growth, evangelism, establish Bible schools for ministry training, establish medical clinics and feeding programs for the needy, support orphanages, and send aid in the form of medicines, clothing, Bibles, books, tracts, tapes, and videos. The world is dying without a Savior and we want to make a difference!

The staff of New Beginnings all share the same goal, to bring a New Beginning to you.
