Glenda & Ralph Compton

Glenda Compton

An Apostle married 45 to husband Ralph, we have reared our 5 children and many foster children. We are currently raising the child of one of our foster daughters. We have 10 grandchildren. 

I was blessed to be born into a Christian family receiving Christ as my Lord and Saviour at age 8. Due to unfortunate circumstances within the church we were attending we left for about three years and I had walked away from the Lord but "praise God" for a Christian doctor who took the time to minister to me while in hospital after surgery and took me out to church were I recommitted my life to the Lord a have never looked back. 

I went back to the Uniting Church until 1986 when I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, then went to several different Pentecostal churches, none of which God would allow me to settle in, until 1990. At this point the Lord spoke to me "to come out and sit at My feet and learn from Me". This was a six year wilderness experience, very lonely but not alone as my constant companion was the Lord, daily learning from Him. 

Out of church but not out of fellowship, I held bible studies in my home and held ladies days in local hall also began annual ladies camps in 1992 until 2001 when we started to hold conferences. 

Having been called as an apostle in 1992, I was commissioned in 1998 and then set up our church called Cross Roads Ministries which is established in Woodenbong N.S.W. I was ordained in 1999 and we are a member of Australian Fellowship Faith Churches Ministers International. 

My husband Ralph is my strongest supporter in my work, he is always there in the background quietly serving God never looking for recognition for what he does but I could not accomplish all I do without his support.
