El Shaddai Ministries, founded in 2000, continues to spread the gospel through teaching conferences, healing crusades, and outreaches.  Passover has been the most popular event in the year.  Messianic speakers have blessed and challenged the church to return to their Hebraic Heritage and study the Bible through a Hebraic perspective.  As always, personal ministry takes place and healings and deliverances are the norm. 

Charlene Gates-Phillips, was saved and delivered from an alcohol addiction in 1981 at Jimmy Swaggart's church in Baton Rouge, where she was born and raised.  She with her late husband, Bobby Gates, served in ministries in and out of the church, i.e., as pastors, teachers, worship leaders, altar workers, right to life president, and in the radio ministry.   They owned and operated several Christian bookstores in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, Branson, Missouri, Marriana, Florida and Berryville, Arkansas  throughout the past eighteen years.  In 1998, the Lord gave her,  a new vision -- one of preaching/teaching the Word through a Hebraic perspective; therefore, hosting many anointed meetings with well known evangelists and Jewish Roots scholars.  She's been to Israel with the Endtime Handmaidens & Servants. While on a 21 day fast to join the ETHs, at the Brownsville Revival she had an open vision.  In the worship service, she ascended three stairs, opened a door and stepped out into outer space, where everything was black with a few shinning stars.  As she began to fall, an angel swooped down and picked her up and flew out to the edge of the universe where a beautiful glowing city sat.  It was Jerusalem!  The city of our King!  After that vision, she knew  she was to go there.   

They opened the first John G. Lake, healing room in NW Arkansas  and helped many others to step out in their own ministry.   She also authored a cookbook entitled,  "Kosher Cooking for Christians...Ov Vey" with recipes from ministry friends.   Charlene is a graduate of Shalom Bible College and Seminary and ordained by International Minister's Forum, Dayton, Ohio.  Since 1998, she has been a member of the Endtime Handmaidens and Servants, founded by Sister Gwen Shaw.  Some of you may know Charlene from The Gathering Place, an inspirational book and gift store in Berryville, Arkansas; however, she closed it after marrying Jim Phillips in July, 2010 and moving to Vilonia, Arkansas to live with her husband.  Jim is excited to join in this ministry and they look forward to what God has in store. The Phillips recently made a CD, entitled, "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do", which song they sang at their wedding reception.  You can purchase this CD by making a $15.00 donation on line or mail it to El Shaddai Ministries, 270 Stanley Road., Vilonia, AR 72173.  The Phillips are available to minister for your church or ministry by calling 501.796.3840 or emailing them at JimandCharlene@earthlink.net
