Michelle Blankenship will be the Friday evening speaker.
Michelle is 56 years old and was saved at the age of 8 and filled with the Holy Ghost at age 12. Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, she began traveling and singing with her father at only 10 years old.
Michelle has spent approximately 43 years in ministry. Within recent years, God has been opening new doors and leading her into deeper waters, allowing her to step forward into new areas of calling and purpose.
She is married to her best friend, has two biological children, and a beautiful granddaughter.
Throughout life Michelle has experienced moments where she turned away, yet discovered the unwavering faithfulness of Jesus, whose love never abandoned her.
Her desire remains simple and powerful. To become more like Jesus and to love like Jesus.
One hope remains within her heart:
"I want people to look back one day and say she loved like Him."
Meet Trinity Blankenship, our Saturday morning breakout speaker.
Trinity has spent 53 years in church and more than 33 years in ministry. Baptized in April 1979 and filled with the Holy Ghost at age 17, her journey began in Charleston, West Virginia where her grandfather pastored for 37 years.
Trinity later entered the United States Navy and experienced a season away from God. During a deeply traumatic period, the Lord brought restoration and rescue. Through every storm, God remained her rock and carried her through difficult seasons.
She served as a minister in Charleston, West Virginia and was originally ordained through Pentecostal Affirming Ministries.
Her ministry journey continued as Assistant Pastor in Johnson City, Tennessee for four years and later serving as Pastor in Lexington, Kentucky.
Today she ministers within the unhoused community and manages a food pantry through Bethesda Tabernacle.
Her calling began very early in life. At eighteen months old she suffered severe convulsions and nearly died. Her grandparents laid her on the altar while elders prayed.
God completely healed her.
For fifty two years there has not been another seizure.
God later gave Trinity a gift of healing. After military service she became a Massage Therapist and served for twenty three years helping people heal and giving glory to Jesus.
Her journey has carried both joy and heartbreak. God has recently begun restoring what the locusts have stolen and is doing a new work in her life.
"I may not understand the road before me, but I trust God to open doors no man can shut."
Robin Lynn Spears will be joining Trinity during Saturday's breakout session.
Robin shares a testimony of redemption and restoration.
Robin spent much of life not believing in God and struggled with addiction for many years.
Everything changed in January 2022 when her husband attempted to take his life.
During one of life's darkest moments, Robin encountered Jesus and began following Him.
Robin now celebrates four years free from addiction and faithfully follows Jesus Christ.
Her testimony reminds others that Jesus restores, heals, and gives brand new beginnings.
Meet Melissa Entrekin, our guest speaker for Saturday evening.
Melissa was saved at ten years old on a Wednesday night, a moment she says she will never forget. God was dealing with her heart and she actually tried to leave the church. When she reached for the doorknob, she turned around and literally ran to the altar.
Over the years Melissa has had the privilege of teaching Sunday school, leading a youth bus ministry, and preaching the Gospel.
At age eighteen God called her to preach and since that day He has continually stirred her heart to travel, minister, and tell others about His goodness and faithfulness.
Melissa shares her testimony with honesty. Life brought seasons where she wandered and ran from God, yet through every season God never stopped being faithful.
She is thankful for a Savior who leaves the ninety nine for the one.
Melissa believes Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven and believes anyone can find a home in Him by receiving His love and grace.
She loves Southern Gospel music, old red back hymns, revivals, and Holy Spirit filled services.
Melissa believes God uses willing people and that nobody needs to feel qualified before answering His call.
God has blessed Melissa with a beautiful wife, an amazing adopted son named Jabarrie, and precious foster babies.
Melissa shares one simple truth:
"Even through all my failures, God has never failed me once."
