Reverend Thelma Ricks

Biography

I was blessed to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior at the age of twelve.  During my teenage and young adult years I served in many capacities. I sang in the youth choir, helped in the youth Sunday school program, and was a representative for the youth department at state wide conferences, served in the young women’s missionary society, and helped in other areas wherever there were needs, in the Fellowship Baptist Church.

I was married for forty-five years and was involved in the raising of seven children.

I worked for 23 years as a banker in the capacities of Branch Manager, and Vice President of Operations, 18 years designing and making wedding dresses and accessories, and four years operating The Adorning, my own catering business.

I was involved in studies in many different arenas, I attended the Bible Study Fellowship Program for five years, the Victory Bible College for two years, Morris Cerullo’s Victory School of Ministry for two years, and the Bootcamp Spiritual Warfare Training Program for an additional two years, and, attended the World Wide School of Ministry for three years.  I also studied under The School of The Prophets, Marshall,Texas for three years.

I was licensed and ordained in 1993 under World Wide Ministries, and served for seven years as a Chaplain with the Fresno Police Department. I was ordained again in 1995 under World Wide Ministries as an Evangelist and Teacher.  I was ordained again, as an Associate pastor in 2007. I served as an active member of The Pastor’s Prayer Summit of The San Joaquin Valley for nine years, and served on the Planning Committee for them for four years.  I taught Morris Cerullo’s Bootcamp Program, (Spiritual Warfare Training Program) for four years.  For the last several years I have been serving on the Ministerial staff at The West Fresno Christian Center in Fresno, Ca.

I have the privilege of spending many hours praying for the needs of God’s creation.

Over the last 20 years, I have served on the Boards of The Agape Corporation, The Agape College of Business and Science, and The Generational Changes Corporation.

I presently own and operate Continuous LLC, and serve as The Financial Officer and Founding Board member for Chicago Devotion LLC, a private online business management web portal we’re creating to adorn Chicagoans with the resources they need to achieve their American Dream.  I also sit on the Board of the WLDC Corporation, South Korea.

I enjoy reading and studying God’s word, sewing, and home decorating and design, and I especially love drawing up plans for friends needing ideas for home remodeling.

My greatest joy is being called to be a demonstration by sharing His love, His grace, His mercy, His care, His provision, and His entire plan of success for every one of His children.  What a privilege it is to share His good pleasure in giving us the Kingdom of His Dear Son.
