AT 95
PASTOR ELLEN BLACKWELL CONTINUES FULL-TIME
MINISTRY |
| |
Richmond (Virginia):
She is senior pastor of Way of Faith Assembly of God in
Fairfax, Virginia. She travels 90 minutes one way every
Sunday afternoon to preach at Mount Zion AG in Charles
Town, West Virginia.
Blackwell planted Way of Faith AG, which has an average
Sunday morning attendance of 180, in 1970. “I went
through the school of hard knocks and experience,” she
says. Her main focus is training young p eople for the
ministry.
Gokul Raaj, 28, has attended Way of Faith AG for two
years and considers Blackwell a spiritual role model.
“When I see her at this age able to speak up and stand
for God, I think how much I can do for God when I am so
young,” Raaj says. “She has enabled me to see a greater
depth and truth in the Word of God.”
She also has compiled verse-by-verse study manuals for
books of the New Testament and is nearing completion on
books of the Old Testament.
This year the Potomac District recognized Blackwell for
50 years of ministry as an ordained minister. “She is
one of the people that I esteem the highest in our
district,” says Potomac District Superintendent Larry
Hickey.
Way of Faith AG church has developed a prayer center in
Israel in Galilee. Blackwell goes at least annually to
lead tour groups. She plans to go in September and
December this year. Blackwell, who is single, doesn’t
have plans to stop working. “I would be miserable to
retire,” she says.
