Elder Wendell & Hilda Davis came to Lawton, Oklahoma in 1998, at the time, he became the Assistant Pastor of Harvest Time Church. After many days of prayer and fasting, the Lord sent Elder Davis on a retreat with the military to Fort Shaft, Arkansas on 12 April, 1999 for three weeks. During that time Elder Davis was in the Laundromat alone and distinctly heard the voice of the Lord speak, he looked around and did not see anyone around but he, himself. Elder Davis heard this voice again, saying, “A New Vision I will give into your spirit.” Hours seem like seconds, He gave Elder Davis a vision to start a Ministry. Having no idea it would be called Sure Foundation Ministries, the Vision has no connection with any other Ministry or Church in which he had served in. When God spoke to Elder Davis, he said all things will become new. So with the help of a few saints in Lawton, Sure Foundation Ministries of Lawton, Oklahoma was birthed on 5 May, 1999. The Ministry had its first service on 9 May, 1999 and Sure Foundation Ministries, Inc. of Lawton, Oklahoma was founded on 8 October, 1999 by this organizational committee below.
The members of the organizational committee who were present at the first meeting were Elder Wendell L. Davis, First Lady Hilda Davis, Sister Tonya Crosby, Sister Jai Cutler, Sister Debra Williams, and Sister Tracy Bedford
