ABOUT US
Carl & Zonta Proctor
We got married in 2018, and both started walking with Jesus only a couple of years into our marriage. The Lord placed this business in our hearts in late 2022. This business will be another way we can glorify Him in this world. God has truly been a miracle worker in our lives. Since we started seeking Jesus, He has delivered and healed both of us from addiction, trauma, mental illness, religion, and so much more. God will be lifted in everything we do here at Presence Apparel, and we want to encourage others as they seek Him!

The Meaning Behind Presence Apparel.
When God first gave us the idea for this business in December of last year, He gave me a vision of the passage in Genesis when Hagar was sent out in the wilderness alone with her child Ishmael, and The Angel of the Lord came to her with a word from God. She replied and gave glory to God and called Him “The God who sees” because she had seen Him who sees her. After I read it, I prayed into the passage and was given a vision of the Lord’s eyes upon a mountain, then below the mountain a valley, and in that a river. Then I saw His eyes upon the world like a globe. I instantly knew that God surely in that moment sees me, and everyone in the world as well.
After I received it, it was also given to me the name for the business and that we are to pray into the names of God and put what we see on clothing. Presence in the Hebrew is the word “panim” which means “face.”
When we are told by God to seek His face, He is telling us to seek His presence, when we as believers get together and the presence of God shows up, miracles break out, chains are broken, and people receive breakthrough. Another thing just like Hagar, we also receive a deeper understanding of who God is. These are all manifestations of the presence of God, and that is why there are many names for God. They did not call Jesus Immanuel, but His name was who He was manifested in the flesh as, “God with us.” (Immanuel)
Our vision is that this will not only be a successful business but an open doorway for every person (believers and non-believers) to know the many faces of God, to know that God is the impossible, and that He does it every day through His Spirit and through His Word.
