Welcome to Laurie McCormick Ministries
A devoted missionary with a passion for souls
Meet Laurie
Hello! I was saved at the age of four while watching Dr. Oral Roberts on television. I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit while attending a prayer meeting at Rhema Bible Training Center. I have been a partner with Brother Kenneth Copeland since I was in middle school and worked in his television department making the master broadcasts for his foreign offices while attending Dr. Jerry Savelle’s Ministry International (JSMI) Bible College. I taught at the Disciples of Mercy Bible School while on a mission trip to Kenya with Dr. Savelle and our class.
God called me to be a missionary after graduating with my first Master’s Degree from Regent University. I served as a United Methodist missionary in California for two years and founded a free Latino tutoring program. I graduated from United Theological Seminary and pastored ten years for the United Methodists in the West Virginia Annual Conference. Then God told me to go back to school and get a doctorate of education in curriculum. I graduated Saturday, December 13, 2025, with my Doctorate of Education in Curriculum and Instruction degree from Marshall University!
My mission is to help people be saved, healed, delivered, baptized in the Holy Spirit, and debt free! If you are a pastor or church leader and you would like to discuss bringing me in to minister at your upcoming service or outreach event, please contact me to start our conversation.

Pray Specifically!
I was in graduate school and got my first car for $1 from the videographer who had been on a mission trip with me. He had a car and said he didn’t need the blue station wagon because he needed more room on his narrow street. I cleaned out the leaves in the Cutlass Ciera, and put water in the battery to keep it running. I was so proud of being able to give people rides instead of having to ask for rides! The owner of the advertising agency, where I was an intern, told me to park my car around back so no customers would see it. The car lasted the entire internship and then died.
I heard a teaching about praying specifically for what you want and to write it down. I believed that God’s promises are for all of His children. I believed Mark 11:24, “Therefore, I [Jesus] say unto you, “What things so ever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them,” and Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it shall be given you.” I asked for a four-door sedan, with leather seats, whitewalls, and would get 30 miles per gallon. My friend was driving and noticed a Ford Taurus in a church’s parking lot with a telephone number. She stopped her car, and got the number. I caught a ride from my roommate to look at the car. She exclaimed, “That’s your car, isn’t it?” It had everything I had prayed for except I did not have $5000. I was working as a graduate assistant for $6 hour, 20 hours per week.
I had to stand in faith for months until I had $4000. The book value dropped $1000 after the year changed. I saved up birthday money from friends and family. I rode my ten-speed bicycle across a freeway to go look at it one day, but the car was not there! It was discouraging, but I had to not be moved by what I saw, or didn’t see. 2 Corinthians 5:7 states, “We walk by faith and not by sight.”
Finally, I got a call from the owner. He grumbled, “Come get your car. I know it’s your car. The money fell through on the first offer. I put more money into the car, than I am going to make. It’s got several new parts.” God answers specific prayers in line with His will. I John 5:14-15 declares, “And this is the confidence that we have in him [God], that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us and grants us our desired petitions.”

Debt Free Doctorate!
You may have heard the saying, “Where God guides, He provides”. This is certainly true in my case. I kept hearing this “still, small voice” that I have come to know as the Holy Spirit telling me to go back to school. I already had two master’s degrees and did not know what I would get a doctorate in or where. It had been 10 years since my last degree, so I was terrified to go.
A few years past, and I was promoted in my job to a building that shared a parking lot with a graduate school. My employer suggested I take a look at what they had to offer. When I walked on that black asphalt, it looked like deep, ocean water because I was so afraid to go back to school. The Holy Spirit woke me up that morning early and told me, “Go back to school, curriculum, young people, it will be difficult.” Of the three doctoral programs they offered, one was a doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction! I enrolled!
My first semester was paid for since I was an employee. However, I was let go and received unemployment for six months. It was during this time that I was crying out to God because I needed rent and tuition. My cell phone rang, and it was a couple I had prayed with for the services at our church. I had not been praying with them during this time. They offered me their kwanza hut on their property and gave me $9,000 worth of free rent!
I was then hired as a graduate assistant and the chair of my department hired me as a graduate/teaching assistant. Now I pay rent and work another part-time job. The doctorate is about finished debt free. God certainly provided!

Student Loan Cancelled!

Student Loan Cancelled!
On May 1, 1990, I prayed for my $2500 government student loan to be canceled or paid by May 31st. I had just started my Master’s degree at Regent University. I did not have a car and was only working 20 hours a week at $6 an hour as a graduate assistant. I put Proverbs 4:20, “My son [or daughter], pay attention to my words…,” into action and made my work schedule so I could listen to the Word [debt freedom Scriptures and testimonies] being preached on Brother Kenneth Copeland’s broadcast. Brother Copeland’s guest was John Avanzini, who was declaring “War on Debt”. He taught that it was God’s will to be out of debt. He shared Deuteronomy 15:6 where the believer is to “lend to many nations, but not to borrow”, and was to “owe no man but to love him” (Romans 13:8).
Once I knew it was God’s will for me to be out of debt, then I made my request to God based upon I John 5:14-15, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him”. I also used Mark 11:24, “Therefore I [Jesus] say unto you, ‘What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them’”.
I had to watch what I said to be in line with what I was believing for. I almost made a wrong confession talking with the campus’ cleaning lady. She was saying how in debt she was. I almost said that I was too, but remembered that today was the day I had believed to be out of debt. I had rolled the care of the debt on God and so had forgotten about it.
I had to keep believing I was debt free for a week past when I expected the loan to be paid off, I kept saying, “Thank you, God, that I was debt free May 31st. On June 8th, I rode my ten-speed bike back to University housing and a man called. He asked me for prayer about his work. At the end of the conversation, he said, “Oh, by the way, I paid off your student loan as of May 31st! I had never asked him to pay it off, nor had I ever mentioned my prayer to him.
