Elgin D. Orton originated from Columbus, Ohio born to Deacon Matthew and Lenora Orton. Like the prophet Jeremiah, Pastor Elgin Orton had a word on his life before he was conceived in his mother’s womb. The prophecy declared the infinite destiny of young Elgin and the lives that he would soon affect. This word carried him out of his mother’s womb and in to his destiny. E.D.O accepted the call to salvation very early, only to later begin his ministry at the tender age of seven, not even realizing the impact that the early start would have on his destiny.
