GBT’s CommUnity Center will become a thriving, modern-day temple of the Lord!
Barbara Erkins Eady received salvation upon her confession of Christ and was water baptized at the age of 14. She made Jesus Lord at the age of 26, and was baptized in the Holy Spirit at the age of 27; with the manifestation of speaking in tongues.
Barbara was called into the ministry and was ordained in October, 1992 and started the church in July, 1993; becoming the Pastor of The Eagles’ Nest Christian Center; which today is named Key of Life Ministries. In September, 2015 she was ordained as an Apostle by Chief Apostle Joseph Prude, of Cleveland, Ohio and her spiritual father, Bishop Robert E. Joyce of Pontiac, Michigan.
Apostle Barbara, loves the study and teaching of the ‘rightly divided Word of God,’ and she loves to minister in the prophetic flow of God. Her greatest desire is to fulfill the full counsel of God for her life, while here on planet earth!
Barbara is the author of “By Any Other Name It’s Still Sex,” which made Essence Magazine’s Best Seller List in 2003.
Barbara is currently a sophomore at Ursuline College, where she is pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Humanities.
Barbara was formerly married to Jesse Erkins and out of that union she had a son, Justin Erkins and a daughter, Jessica Erkins. Barbara has 7 grandchildren. Her former husband is deceased and Apostle Barbara is now married to Adolph Eady, Jr. and they reside in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
The last two decades of my life in the Lord's company are focused on Intercession for Israel and being knowledgeable about His Purpose regarding the covenant promises for His people. This is a constant calling and commitment. My continued involvement is being with praying groups in Israel and in the USA, sharing the importance and significance of The Word relating to the Land, People, and His Plan. I continually conduct meeting sessions and set up programs as it meets the needs of whoever I have the privilege to be asked to work with.
Raising three grown children and involvement with my grandchildren is an ongoing lifelong profession.
Previous assignments included creating and administering a licensed school for young children. This was a 24/7 learning environment located on a mini-farm with domestic animals and included puppetry and the arts. Additionally, we were challenged with special needs and county children that were assisted for two decades.
My past positions include Human Resources work in city government and federal programs and private companies. Specific strengths often used were in the area of mediation and EEO/Affirmative Action.
Psalm 37:23 KJV- The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighted in his ways. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down. For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. Over the Past years the LORD has allowed me to sojoun though the following steps.
Who am I
I am a JESUS Freak period!
I have followed Jesus since I was in my mother's womb. I am the youngest of 15 siblings, and you might wonder how I could be a follower of Jesus even before birth. Well, I am a product of a woman of faith—my Pentecostal, fire-baptized, Holy Ghost-filled mother. In her womb, I experienced the power of God, but I did not choose Him for myself until 1993, after her passing, which was the best choice I have ever made.
I have been married for 28 years and am a devoted woman of faith, the wife of a heart transplant recipient, a mother of three adult children, and a grandmother to two grandchildren. Throughout my journey with the Lord, I have held various positions including armor bearer, minister, intercessor, and divine appointment participant. I have had the opportunity to represent my Heavenly Father at the corporate table and have been a member of the Greater Bethlehem Temple board since 1995, prior to my marriage and moving away to fulfill the call of becoming a wife and mother.
Currently, I am involved in a couples ministry group, supporting my husband as he follows the guidance of the Lord. I am also a licensed real estate agent, fulfilling my calling to assist with housing first time buyers, and housing refugees from all over the world. My journey thus far has been blessed, allowing me to be a blessing to others.
Praise the Lord!
I have been a baptized believer in Jesus Christ for 49 years. I was baptized in the name of Jesus at Greater Bethlehem Temple where I attended Church and was called by God to the ministry, but did not accept the call until after God's persuasion. I went on to become a Sunday school teacher, was placed over the evangelistic outreach ministry, conducted afternoon prayer and coordinated youth Church summer camp, as well a camp counselor. Ordained as an elder, I worked as an assistant to a pastor. I am now the Pastor of God’s Chapel of Faith in Turtle Creek, PA.
I am committed to working in my community to reach out to a loss and dying world with love and the Word of God in the name of Jesus Christ, rescuing as many souls as the Lord will place in my care. Praise be to God for His mercy and His grace, who has allowed me to be His servant. I thank Him and rejoice for the opportunity to serve a God like this.
I made Jesus Lord and Savior at an early age of my life, due to my grandmother consistently wanting me to be healed from sickness and death. I was born prematurely; my heart stopped, and I needed a blood transfusion. So, the first several years of my life I was exposed to the healing ministry. At five years old I knew the direction the Lord was pointing me to, and He made sure I continued this journey as of today.
I have been a member of Key of Life Ministries since 1995, Minister of the Gospel since 2015, Minister of Health and Healing, and Minister in Dance and Mime. I have also trained extensively in prophetic ministry, healing ministry, and spiritual warfare, and have certifications in these ministries to the Body of Christ.
The Lord has also equipped me in the health field. I hold a MSN, RN and am a Clinical Nurse, AMET, Adult Medical Emergency Team at the Cleveland Clinic _Main Campus. My specialty is critical care - a team that responds to code blues and patients that are rapidly declining in the hospital units.
I graduated from Cuyahoga Community College with Applied Science Degree in Nursing, obtaining Bachelors of Science Degree and Master of Science Degree in Nursing. At this time I am attending school for my Doctoral of Nursing. The Lord has gifted me to be an advocate leader for nurses as well as being advocate for patient care.
Over the years, my goal has been to serve the community with spiritual and practical means. I was blessed with many gifts from the Father. My goal in life is to serve others as the Father sees fit. I am under the leadership of Apostle Barbarba Erkins E. I have hosted several health fairs, and a walk/run and other small group meeting to empower men and women about their health as God would like them to live, “to prosper in health”.
I am the founder of Dawn til’ Dusk Ministry - Mature women mentoring younger females in life. The ministry is designed to help mentor younger females in decision making through God. Understanding the abundance of God life for us through prayer, reading His word and demonstration.
Kristopher Sherman graduated high school at 17 years old and was accepted into Benedict College. He was afraid of going so far and so alone until one day mid cry HE GOT A CALL! That call was from none other than the Great Kim-Andréa, stating that Jesus told her to call and inform him that he isn’t alone and that I’m one of His best friends. Little did Kristopher know that was the kickstart to long life sonship and friendship.
Kristopher was baptized as a child by the Late Great Dr. L.J. Thomas but got rebaptized in 2013 after re-dedicating his (adult) life unto the Lord. Since then, Kristopher has been a minister at a couple churches throughout Metro Detroit and was a youth minister at GBT under the teachings of the Late Great Dr. L.J. Thomas. (It was also prophesied over Kristopher as a baby by the Late Bishop F.M. Thomas that he would declare the Word of the Lord.)
Kristopher is a Bible scholar and serial entrepreneur. He created a daily motivation app and is the author of The Million Dollar Question. But Kristopher’s best position is a Hell Snatcher - telling people in the ghettos near and far about the gospel of Jesus Christ snatching their souls from the pits of hell!
I don’t remember the exact year, month or day. However, I remember the very moment. While in service, I felt the chains of the world fall off me. I can’t tell you what the sermon was about or anything else except a strong presence of God. I didn’t go up for the altar call because I didn’t want to leave His presence. It was such a loving embrace! God had saved my life on 3 previous occasions because I listened to His instruction. However, I didn’t know who spoke to me. For years I wondered. On that day God revealed Himself to me!
