About OUR OVERSEERS & Ordered Steps Ministries Inc
Apostle Raymond & Bishop Irma Portley
Apostle Raymond N. Portley has more than thirty years experience in the ministry and is the visionary and founder of Total Deliverance Church of Foundation of Faith, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, in the heart of Highland Hills, an inter-denominational assembly of believers. This ministry came into manifestation on August 28, 1980 in the dining room of his home. There were weekly Bible Studies conducted in the home, which expanded to the living room, the den and eventually to another facility because the need of space had surpassed the space in the home. We were incorporated as Ordered Steps Ministries, Inc., in 1994. The church name was also changed to Total Deliverance Worship Center. In 2015, it was changed again to The Sanctuary of Dallas.
Apostle Portley had a call of God on his life since the age of sixteen, but did not heed that call until after his stint in the Military, during which time he served in leadership position in the Army Medical Corps as Spec E-5. After accepting the call to the ministry, and being under leadership for many years, the Father is faithful and true promoted him to the position of Pastor, Bishop and Apostle. Apostle, along with his wife Bishop Irma Portley, now serves as the Overseers of Ordered Steps Ministries, Inc. and has churches/ministries in Texas, Louisiana and California.
Apostle Portley has a strong anointing on his life for the deliverance ministry, especially in casting out demons. He also has a strong anointing in leadership. Apostle Portley has traveled across this country during the work of an Evangelist, licensing and establishing churches, disrupting the kingdom of darkness, and has made his call and election sure.
Apostle Portley is a multi-talented and multifaceted individual. He has experience in the areas of Insurance, Real Estate, and has attended D. Edwin Johnson Bible Institute of Dallas, TX, and Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, TX. He has also received a Leadership Certification from Antioch School of Church Planting and Leadership Development, Ames, IA. He had the honor to serve as the National Auxiliary Director and First Vice-President of the Full Gospel New Life Association under the Presiding Prelate Bishop J. Ardis Jones of True Vine Holy Temple in Dallas, TX. Apostle & Bishop Portley have established the Ordered Steps Ministries School & Empowerment Center® which is geared toward the local church and reaching the community, by way of building a stronger foundation in Christ through Bible study. He walks in a high level of integrity, much wisdom, and authority. God has called him to impart and give instruction to men in general through the ministry called Men of the Master, which is designed to teach men how to become real men and to be all that they can be in Him. God has also mandated that he teach ministers, specifically pastors.
They are the parents of eight children, the grandparents of nineteen and great-grandparents of nine. They have also fostered eleven children, through their home. They are strong advocates for education. They believe that education is the key to unlocking unlimited potential and that education brings power and knowledge. The both of them have a soft spot in their heart for children and are concerned for their well-being and place in the body of Christ.
OSMI History
This ministry began in the dining room of the Pastor’s home on August 27, 1980. The members consisted of the Pastors, five of their children and one other lady.
Because God is faithful that promised, the ministry began to grow and people began to come. The Father worked many miracles in the ministry in the areas of healing and deliverance.
As the Lord continued to bless and the membership continued to grow it soon became apparent that a larger facility was necessary. We moved from the Pastors’ home to 2126 Arizona and God moved mightily. As with any ministry, people came, people went and some remained.
The enemy struck and we went back to the Pastor’s home. God was faithful to sustain us. The membership began to grow again and in a short time we were looking for another building. A building was located on Idaho. We met there for about 3 weeks, but due to unscrupulous dealings of the minister we were renting from, it became necessary to go back to the Pastor’s home.
Well, it appeared we were going in circles, but God was yet faithful. We met for approximately one month at the Pythian Manor on Illinois and God worked a miracle by unstopping deaf ears. And, it was back to the Pastors’ home once more.
Apostle (Bishop, back then) diligently sought the face of the Lord for direction and a building. One day as the Pastors were out looking they located our first stable location @ 2827 S. Denley Drive, in the heart of Oak Cliff It was a five-bedroom rat and roach infested building that smelled something awful.
Bishop had asked the Father for a place to begin with no credit check and for not more down than what we had saved up. Well, to God be the glory because God granted the request. While we were there and through much fasting, praying, seeking the face of the Lord, blood, sweat and tears, we possessed that land. God showed himself strong and mighty, through miracle after miracle. Plans for expansion were in the air. The ministry did expand.
The Master helped us to establish several outreach ministries through the church. We have the Daughters of Sarah Synod and Men of the Master, a youth ministry, Praise & Worship Dancers, tape media ministry and several more ministries are being set into place within the church. The Lord blessed us to be in our previous location 17 plus years.
In addition to all of the above there have been several ministries birthed within the church namely, The Anointing of Miriam, Purity in Praise, Jehovah Shammah and This Child Shall Live Ministry. A Day Care/Academy is in the working, an Illiterate Course and a sewing class and G.E.D. Program. The Lord has been gracious enough to favor us with a Bus Ministry for picking-up and delivery of people tat desire to come to church.
And when the fullness of time had come, the Father spoke and said it was time to move. Through much fasting, praying and seeking the face of the Lord, God showed Apostle Portley our present OSMI Headquarters location. The battle royal was in full array. God granted us victory and we took possession of the Lake June property June 10, 1998. God granted another victory and allowed us to pay off the property on Lake June Road in May 2016.
Praise God from who all blessings flow! Not only has He shown himself to be strong and mighty, He continues to show us his faithfulness.

Charis Pneuma Synod
Charis Pneuma Synod
Charis Pneuma Synod
Charis Pneuma is, therefore, adopted as the Conference name as presented annually in June by the Ordered Steps Ministries, Inc. It is set aside to cause us to remember God’s faithfulness through all generations.
How desperately man has a need to be constantly reminded that he is but dust, but because of the grace of God (Charis), and through Christ, that he/she is able to take a licking and keep on ticking. Sometimes we fall, but, because of grace we can recover and continue on the journey. Sometimes we are bruised, abused or broken, and, here again, because of grace we endure hardness as a good solider of Jesus Christ.
”God's grace is sufficient for us.”
