People of Destiny Ministries International (PODMI), was started in April 1994 by Apostle Ann Marie Alman along with about six other members in her living room. In July 1994, the ministry began renting a small storefront building for about two years. In 1996, the church outgrew its space, forcing us to move to a larger building. As we continued to forge ahead with the Ministry, God was moving us towards our true purpose. In 1998, we purchased our first property, where we are now located.

During this same time period (early in 1999) the Lord opened up to us a whole new way of worship and warfare. Our motto was and still is "praise until the spirit of worship comes, worship until the glory comes, then stand in the glory." In 2000, the Spirit of God propelled us into the Prophetic; our lives have never been the same. The Lord has also given us a mandate to raise up prophets in the Body of Christ who will go to the nations for Him.

In 2003, PODMI transitioned into the apostolic realm as the Wind of God moved over the Church. There are now four ministries that are apostolically connected to PODMI. On May 18th 2004 People of Destiny Restoration Center was birthed and is located in Jamaica, New York. Today, together with Apostle Ann Marie and Pastor Colvin Alman and the rest of the leadership, P.O.D.M.I is growing and glowing with the glory of God.
