About Me: (Ministry Info, Hobbies, Fav. Music etc.)
I have been in ministry for more than 10 years. God called me while I was a member at a Church the Pastor did not believe God called women. God will do a marvelous work. We just have to be bold.

I moved from a Baptist denomination to a United Methodist and have been appointed for a second term. I am amazed at God's work and He keeps me quiet more than I have ever been before. I have learned to sacrifice more than ever. God had given me a contentment beyond belief. When I am confronted with a challenge, I now, immediately stop and say to God, "I'm just going to see what you are going to do." While I get out of the way.

My hobbies are very few. I don't watch T.V. any more - God told me to donate my 52" to the Church. I rarely listen to music. Don't bowl, don't skate, don't go to movies much, But, I am happier than I have ever been. Oh, don't date at all. Oh, except once or twice a year when a friend invites me to a birthday dinner or movie and that is it. Friends now respect my calling. My favorite time is at home reading a book, studying the Bible and prayer lines, I'm on every morning at 5:30 a.m., Mondays from 9 - 10p.m. and Every Tuesday, I meet with a prayer group at my church. Prayer does change things. Try it. (smile)

I'm continuing my education - that is required in the Methodist denomination. Seminary is next. God does work in mysterious ways.

I have two Children; 8 grandchildren - I am a widowed -
Just started a praise dance group at the Church. Went back to my old neighborhood and got some of the young children we pick-up every Sunday for Sunday School and Church.

Plans to start a Senior Ministry as well - will be picking up Senior for the neigboring Highrise.

I do love gospel music - just don't have a lot of music at home. Actually, I love peace and quiet and love writing my thoughts out when I talk with God and open up the Bible and get a response. It's neat try it.

MINISTRY INTRODUCTION PURPOSE LETTER
“Comforting others with the comfort, I myself have received from God”. 2 Cor. 1:4

MADE TO STAND, SHOUT, PREACH, TEACH AND REACH
MADE TO SERVE - MADE TO TRAVEL THE EXTRA MILE 
“Going Extra Mile Ministries (GEMM)

How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel and bring glad tidings of good news! My fellow laborers in the gospel of Christ, we are living in the last days, and they are evil ones. It is critical that we move with urgency, that we compel all that have an ear towards the sound from heaven, “TO GET RIGHT AND PREPARE FOR HOME”.

Through the tragedy that has befallen households worldwide, including the home of Pastor Gloria, (SON LOST THROUGH VIOLENCE) God is calling for us to “To Get Right and Prepare for Home”. By whatever, and through whatever means, we that are called by His name, are to sound the alarm, cry loud, spare not, and warm the people of the danger of not being prepared for the eternal destination, for this is not our home! If God has put this kingdom message in your spirit, partner with me as we prepare a generation and not fixate on a congregation, so that they can be ready to go home, FOR REAL!!!

Pastor Gloria was licensed in 1995, and ordained as the first female minister in 1998 by her Pastor, Rev. Asher Harris at Great Band MB. Church, Gary, IN. In 1996, Rev. Eldridge stepped out on the ministry vision that God gave her and Sister Sister “Total Body Ministry” was birthed out, and from this ministry a yearly week long “Keeping The Fire Burning” conference is held. In 2008 Bread of Heaven Kingdom Ministries came forth, where the vision is to build the kingdom, “one meal at a time, through lot’s of love all the time”.

Pastor Gloria Eldridge

MADE TO STAND
On August 18, 2009 my son, Lewis Eldridge Jr., (Two Ton) age 32 was shot down by what is known in this world as a drive by shooting. Needless to say that what the enemy meant for evil through this tragedy has led me and my family to “STAND” and believe even the more so, in the ever loving, tender mercies and faithfulness of God, for it is in our weakness that He is made strong. (Eph. 6:14)

MADE TO SHOUT
This is my walk through the “Valley of Baca”, and God has prepared a “SHOUT” in my spirit man, that I may “raise my voice like a trumpet, cry loud and spare not”, a voice that will "break in like a fire and like a hammer" (Jer. 23:29) After watching my son "die to soon" my call has now been upgraded to go the “extra mile” beyond the pew view, “after a "generation and not a congregation", the “SHOUT” will not fall on deaf ears, as it has been prepared by God, to stir people not just to only "give" but to “live” in such a way that God gets the glory for every story, for only what we do for Christ will last. (Isa. 58:1)

MADE TO PREACH
I was told earlier by a friend that I was to preach my son's eulogy, but because of what I saw happen the thought was that I might not be able to relay God’s "Kingdom Message" which must be articulated at all times, because of my inner pain. I was later told by someone attending my son’s services that I had indeed preached his funeral (“for we are living epistels read of men“), when I closed the top of the casket lid, tucked him in and told him to get his rest, for all our changes would come some day, and it is a "change that I believe in". How beautiful are the feet of them that “PREACH” the Gospel and bring glad tidings of things to come! (Rom. 10:14-15)

MADE TO TEACH
There is a time and season for everything under the sun, and only God knows the real plans that He has for us, for we are the sheep of His pastures, so, “TEACH” us to number our days so we will apply our hearts unto wisdom. I am committed to go with His flow for I am His "Servant Glo" and His “GLOW” is intended to light up the hearts of men so our Father who is in heaven may be glorified. (Matt. 28:20)

MADE TO REACH
As I closed the lid of the casket, our Father will open up the eyelids, unstop deaf ears, make the dumb to talk, and the lame to leap for joy in their hearts and not in a hearse. He has opened up the flood gates of heaven and His message for me is Loud and it is Clear, STAND, SHOUT, PREACH, TEACH, AND REACH, for “I came that you might have life, and life more abundant“. (Isa. 47:7, 61:1)
