Evangelist Gerry Thompson is a Minister of Music, Songwriter, Producer and Gospel Artist. He is well known throughout the world; especially in the Reggae and Caribbean community; North American Markets (Canada, US), and European Markets.

Evangelist Thompson is a multi-talented individual with a powerful true life testimony. He is the Founder, CEO and President of Vision of Truth Outreach Ministries which he states is "a Ministry where a Nobody becomes a Somebody... Why? Because Man's Reject is God's Project and Who God Hire, Let No Man Fire!"

Evangelist Thompson migrated to Canada from Jamaica at the age of eleven. He went through a period of culture shock trying to adjust to the Canadian way of life and his new family. Consequently, he gravitated towards negative influences of street life. He moved to Miami, Florida around the age of 27 where he continued to be involved with negative influences.

However, Evangelist Thompson made a complete transformation when he was led by the Holy Spirit to a tent meeting church service in Miami, Florida on a street called Ivey Lane. At the age of 29, while living in Miami, Evangelist Thompson was on his way to do an evil deed when God spoke to him, directed him to the church, where he surrendered his life to the Lord. It has been almost 40 years since Evangelist Thompson experienced that remarkable spiritual transformation and he has never looked back. Since then he has been working with Crime Stoppers and sharing his testimony of how he turned his life around.

Since accepting the Lord as his personal Saviour, Evangelist Thompson has a new outlook on life. He made a covenant that he will help others like himself who have turned to street life — regardless of their race, color or religion. As a result, he has reached millions around the world with his message of hope and his testimony. Along his journey, he has never forgotten individuals he left behind in his past life. He will continue to try to assist them in helping them make positive changes that will empower their lives.

Evangelist Thompson makes it a priority to alert his public audience to the important needs of our young people. His countless volunteer work has included motivational speaking at schools, community events, and one-on-one mentoring with young people in trouble with the law. He has accompanied young men to court with those whose parents have either given up on them, or those who cannot get time off work to attend their trials.

Evangelist Thompson has worked with police community programs such as Crime Stoppers, conducting crime and drug prevention workshops. He has received many citations, endorsements and awards from Crime Stoppers, United Achievers, Reggae Music Award, the School Board of Education, the John Brook Foundation, Roots Cultural Foundation, and the Black Coalition Committee. Many lives have been transformed through his ministry while working with Prime Ministers, Presidents, Governmental Officials and other Community Leaders in their schools, special needs communities, gangs, prisons and churches.

Evangelist Thompson does not claim to have apprehended fame, but is always reaching out to individuals in the trenches. He has given up many opportunities to be rich and famous; but chooses instead to be called a servant of God — which is the greatest honour to be used to touch and change lives.

Evangelist Thompson has produced 12 CDs consisting of over 200 songs and over 300 DVDs. Albums include: Just a Closer Walk; God Isn't Through With Me Yet; Coming Up From the Rough Side; He Touched Me; Learning to Lean; Sweet Sweet Spirit; Now & Then; New Era of Change; Christmas with Gerry — and original songs I'm Glad To Be Home Again; Try On; It's Amazing What God Can Do. His Inspirational Gospel repertoire includes Country Western, Reggae, Soca, Calypso and Soul.

Evangelist Thompson appeared in the choir scene singing Yes, Jesus Loves Me in the movie "John Q" with Denzel Washington, filmed in Canada. He has shared the stage with Morris Cerullo, Reinhard Bonnke, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, and Benny Hinn. He has been invited to the Queen of Parliament in London, UK, through the Inspirational Network with Bishop Morris and David Cerullo; and has sung twice at the White House in Washington DC through the Prayer to the Nation with Bishop Terry Lee and Hyacinth Production. He has also had the honour of singing with Jamaican icon Louise Bennett-Coverley at Carabram in Brampton, Ontario, and worked with the Jamaica Red Cross and the Bob Marley Foundation — where he had the honour of interviewing Bob Marley's mother, Booka Marley.
