Reverend Dr. Gwendolyn Farrell, Co Pastor
Vivacious, charismatic, prophetic, and didactic are just some words describing the powerful ministry gift of Dr. Gwendolyn Farrell. She was born on the island of Montserrat and began her educational journey at the Bethel High School. From a young age she felt the leading of the Holy Spirit while attending Shiloh Pentecostal Church where she was saved. In 1961, she migrated to London, England and completed her high school education. Soon after she fell in love and married Hezron Farrell and from this union she birthed four children (Yvonne, Sam, Roy, and Michelle). While in London she attended Shiloh Pentecostal Church and was trained under the leadership of Pastor Betty White. She received the prophetic call and accepted the Godly fulfillment to her purpose which included the relocation of her family to Boston, Massachusetts. In 1979, she received her license as a practical nurse. She continued and pursued a bachelorette degree as a Registered Nurse From the Mass College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Boston, MA. While earning her bachelorette degree while also tending to her 4 children, working and serving in Gladtidings as First Lady, and being a dutiful wife, her passion for ministry ignited. She made herself available to the work of the Lord. To enhance her understanding of the Word, she attended the World Harvest Bible College of Columbus Ohio, Kingdom University Ministry School of Atlanta, GA, Keys of the Kingdom Academy of Brockton, MA, and Logos Christian Unifier of Jacksonville Florida. In 2007, she graduated with her Masters in Theology from Logos Christian Graduate School where she was also the recipient of a Doctoral Degree in Theology. The call on her life has led her, by God's grace, to establish the GPA Bible Academy in 2001 with the purpose of equipping the body of Christ. Dr. Farrell has travelled extensively ministering throughout Europe, Africa, the Caribbean Islands, and the United States. Her vision has been birthed from Isaiah 61:3. In 2011, she released her first prayer CD entitled "Spiritual Warfare" and she can be heard live on WEZE 590 The Word every morning. Of a truth she is a virtuous woman, humble, affectionate, worshiper, trailblazer, and prayer warrior mandated by God to raise up an army in this generation.
