BJ Ford - Founder
BJ is the wife
of Apostle Charley Ford, mother of 6, yet most of all a disciple
of Christ.
Her dynamic approach to helping women be the best they can be,
leaves no stone unturned. From her intuitive teachings to her
powerful anointing, to her love for God’s girls is surly a cut
above for this hour. |
How it came to be:
In 1986 -
1989 BJ owned and operated ‘BJ’s Christian Bookstore’, in
Wenatchee, Washington. She was also serving as Vice-President of Women’s
Aglow as well as ministering God’s Word. It was during this time
that she was asked to portray the character of Queen Esther in a skit
which she performed in various meetings and churches, including Camp
Meeting for the Church of God, Cleveland Tennessee, in Portland
Oregon. She was to learn as much as possible about Queen Esther. God’s
calling took deeper root in her heart as she studied about this woman
who laid down everything in obedience to God, which resulted in saving
a whole nation.
In February, 1992, God called her husband and
herself to pioneer ‘God’s Powerhouse Christian Center’, in
Muskogee, Oklahoma, where she Co-Pastors side by side with her
husband, Apostle Charley Ford, who is the founder of the famous four
word prayer, Make Me Like Jesus (M.M.L.J.).
Every year BJ recruits many characters to
perform their now famous annual Christmas program, For Such A Time As
This, and people visit their church from all over just to see this
program again. She also began a Women’s ministry meeting each month
called, For Such A Time As This Women’s Ministries, where she has
women share their testimonies and minister God’s Word. She believes
very strongly that God has chosen each and every woman for His Kingdom
‘for such a time as this’ and feels there is a gift He is wanting
to ‘pull’ out of them.
She started out much like the format she
learned in Women’s Aglow, having Speakers come form all over, but
now feels there are women God has placed within her own congregation
and area that have ‘something’ to share’. She also hosts annual
Women’s Conferences where she brings in the very elite women of God
to minister to women who travel from all over just to be a part of
what God is wanting to do in each of their lives and ministries ‘for
such a time as this’ to further His Kingdom.
BJ does still travel and Speak and minister
all over the world in Conferences and various Churches, Camp Meetings,
etc. And is always available and ready to bring a fresh ‘Rhema’
word to encourage women and men who are called to the Kingdom, ‘For
Such A Time As This.

Marsha
Peyor - Vice President,
Marsha is the
daughter of a Free Will Baptist Pastor, and was raised with
the knowledge and understanding of what it means to have a
free will, not always choosing the way you have been taught,
but learning what the cost of not choosing the right way can
be. She has a tremendous testimony of how God has brought her
from an extremely abusive in every way imaginable marital
relationship, almost costing her her life, into a complete
restoration through Jesus. She thanks God for her upbringing
and the prayers of loving parents which opened her eyes before
it was too late and brought her to where she is being used
mightily ‘for such a time as this’.

the time is right. She holds the position of 'Secretary in
FSATATWM, as well as 'Administrative Secretary' at God's

LaCinda Bias - Assistant Secretary
Anyone who meets LaCinda (aka ‘Sis’)
immediately feels the love and presence of the Lord. LaCinda
is not a stranger to hardship and pain, having experienced a
heart wrenching divorce from a marriage of unfaithfulness by
her husband, while attending church. But her testimony of
overcoming faith and love through Christ will give even the
hurting, hopeless woman a new surge of faith. LaCinda is such
a great addition to our team of women who are willing and
ready to take you to the healing balm of Gilead through Jesus
Christ, ‘for such a time as this’.

Terri Ford -
Women's Shelter
Terri has
the unique call to minister to women who are at a ‘Cross
Roads’ in life. Those who are battered, hopeless and at life’s
bottom, ready to make a change. You find Terri there ready to
pick them up and lead them into the more abundant life with
Jesus Christ. She also ministers the Word as well as sings and
mimes in churches, or anywhere the Lord leads her. She is
married to the Ford’s youngest son, Charles Waylon Ford,
with whom they are the Youth Pastors at ‘True Light
Fellowship’ in Holdenville, Oklahoma. Terri is truly a
'gift' from God.

Janie
Miller - Coordinator
Janie has beat the odds of physical
sicknesses, and always acts as an example to others of how
serving God and doing for others, especially women who are
hurting, physically, emotionally and spiritually is the most
rewarding ‘remedy’ one can have. She can be in physical
pain, and you will not know it, as she greets you with a smile
and a big Jesus hug. She loves coordinating our monthly
meetings with a surprise for all who come. She truly is one
called to us ‘for such a time as this’.

Gena
Kirk - Ask Pastor Gena
Gena is an Associate Pastor for ‘God’s
Powerhouse Christian Center’, which hasn’t always been the
easiest ministry, especially for a single mother of one, her
son Collin. She has had to pray and walk through many tests
and trials, her faith always coming out pure gold. She is
often asked many questions as she ministers to women from all
over, and she always gives them the answers that only line
with God’s Word. After prayer, and allowing the Holy Spirit
to guide her, she will give you the answer you need ‘for
such a time as this’. Gena71us@yahoo.com

Jennifer
Wilson - Assistant Treasurer
Jennifer has the gift of bringing joy
into as well as brightening up a room. The Lord just shines
through this young mother. Life hasn’t always been a joy, as
she has experienced what a child feels who has been taken from
a home where drug abuse was a part of her young every day
life. But as a very young child she was placed into the arms
of her earthly father as he led her into a life with her
Heavenly Father. She truly has the ability to relate to a
young child who has experienced the fears and turmoil of such
a life. And yet, she leads every child who comes into her
presence into the arms of her Heavenly Father to help them to
live a better more fulfilling life for such a time as this. Jstake25@pm.sprint.com
