SERVING FAITHFULLY...
"He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure." (Isaiah 33:6 NIV)
Dr. Kathie Eads is a true servant of the Lord with a recognized authority and prophetic edge. She is called and committed to strengthening and establishing the Church through spiritual training, strategic counsel, prophetic impartation and activation. For more than twenty-five years as an ordained minister, she has used her spiritual gifts as a writer, teacher, prophetic leader and spiritual strategist to support and undergird other five-fold ministry leaders and the congregations and ministries they serve.
Dr. Eads encourages the body of Christ to live out of the abundant life-flow of an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, releasing the water of life that eternally satisfies into the lives of the spiritually thirsty (John 7:38).
PASSIONATELY DEVOTED...
"I was cast upon You from my very birth; from my mother's womb You have been my God." (Psalm 22:10 Amp.)
"Passionately devoted" aptly expresses Dr. Kathie Eads' heart toward the Lord. “He has been my God from the beginning . . . When it was spoken to me prophetically that from my mother’s womb I was called to speak the oracles of God, I knew in my spirit it was true.”
Jesus, the Lover of her soul, captured her heart at the age of ten. Since then, she has pursued Him. Spanning more than forty-five years of spiritual life and ministry, Dr. Kathie has had a hunger for the things of God, producing an unquenchable zeal to know the Lord through an intimate relationship with Him. She endeavors to reveal the passionate heart of God toward His people and inspire others to mature from a relationship of mandatory obedience to one of voluntary love. Her heart's passion is to see the fulfillment of Jesus’ prayer recorded in John chapter 17, that the Body of Christ be one; and for the Church to arise in the power of that ONE NEW MAN without bias or prejudice of any kind to the glory of Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:14-15).
INSPIRED WRITER AND TEACHER...
"I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know O Lord. I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and truth from the great assembly." (Psalm40:9-10)
The spiritual luminescence Dr. Kathie Eads receives as an avid student of the Word is reflected in her inspired writings and vibrant teaching ministry. Reflecting the spiritual wisdom garnered from her personal prayer and study times, these sources have illumined biblical truths that have nourished the body of Christ. Dr. Eads has received numerous testimonials from the many-member body over the years attesting to their flourishing spiritual growth and development.
Dr. Eads is an authorized administrator and instructor for Life Christian University's Avon, IN extension campus offering LCU biblical courses through River-Life Christian Training Center, the biblical education and spiritual training branch of Rising River Ministries, Inc.
Her doctoral dissertation, Fruit that Remains, presents revelatory insight into the non-negotiable Kingdom imperative of bearing fruit in keeping with the divine genome of Christ. She postulates that producing eternal fruit is an inherent result of entering into the union and fellowship of shared life with God as branches in the Vine of Christ.
Dr. Eads has also authored: Treasures Old and New; The Forgiveness Principle: Breaking the Chains of Unforgiveness; and Your Heart's Song. Additionally, she was a contributing writer in the devotional, Lightbearer, released in 1996 by Higher Ground Ministries located in Brentwood, Tennessee.
FRUITFUL CO-LABORER IN MINISTRY...
"I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building." (1 Cor. 3:6, 8-9)
Dr. Kathie Eads is actively involved with churches and ministries as God assigns. She endeavors to assist ministry leaders in equipping the body of Christ for the work of the ministry; promoting and supporting the spiritual training and maturing of the Church; and unifying the body of Christ for the advancement of the Kingdom. She is the founding president of Rising River Ministries, Inc. Through her spiritual gifting she endeavors to "strengthen and establish the church in Kingdom Life through spiritual training, strategic counsel, prophetic impartation and activation" in obedience to the God-given directive He spoke to her in 1995: "Arise, and be about your Father's business."
MARKET PLACE AND MORE...
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV)
Dr. Kathie continues to be involved in market-place ministry as a registered nurse on a part time basis. She is married to Chuck Eads. They have three grown children, Rachel, Stephen and Stephanie and six grandchildren. God has also enlarged and enriched their lives with spiritual sons, daughters and grandchildren, setting the solitary into the Eads' family according to His design and purpose.
