Corsicana —
Believers Outreach Ministries will host a Three-Day Soul Saving Revival at 7 p.m. nightly Feb. 9 to 11. It will be held at 3301 W. Seventh Ave., (UCF Building, East Wing) and Apostle Juanetta Tave is the speaker. She is a native of Ft. Worth, mother of five children, has six grandchildren, and is the dedicated guardian of her three nieces and one nephew. As the people of God attended and witnessed the power of God, by word of mouth news began to go out throughout the communities, it was stated in a local newspaper that a Bare Foot Prophetess was traveling through the land. People came from far and near to hear, see what mighty workds were being manifested through this vessel that God was using. In between many of her engagements she would find herself obligated to ministry out in the field, such as in homes, speaking with other pastors, as well as talking with souls in the local malls and grocery stores. The faithfulness and willingness of this woman of God was highly favored in the eyesight of God, and shortly after serving in her respected call to do the work of an Evangelist, she was ordained and properly licensed. Apostle Tave has traveled in and throughout many cities both far and near. The faithfulness of Pastor Tave has definitely given her favor in the eyesight of God, as time progressed and the divine approval of God she was again licensed as Senior Pastor/Elder under Bishop Kirvin James, Houston. She is a woman of integrity, humility based on the principles and oracles of God. She takes no credit of her own, she is very much aware that without God she can do nothing and the accomplishments that have taken place in her life are all due to the Divine Will of God acting in accordance to the obedience of the call. She has recently become the overseer and founder of Apostles Pastors Church Care Fellowship, and has established churches in Bryan/College Station, Arlington, Wichita Falls, Corsicana, Tyler and Fort Worth.
