Garland & Beverly Bilbo

....
Garland and Beverly Bilbo are both ordained ministers of the Gospel and prophetic voices for this day and time. They have hearts full of compassion and love for the body of Christ. Their ministry not only reaches out to those who are lost and hurting, but they possesses tremendous giftings to teach the Word, exposing the works of darkness. Through the preaching of the Word, they charge believers to beware of the tactics and subtle deceptions of the enemy. The Bilbos operate freely in the Gifts of the Spirit and passionately believe that the body of Christ should be operating in the supernatural realms of God's Spirit, demonstrating the miraculous with signs following believers.
Garland and his wife, Beverly, serve in a pastoral capacity at "Praise Church" in New Orleans, Louisiana. Their church facility was destroyed, along with their home, during the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005. Currently the Bilbos conduct service for "Praise Church" at the Hilton Garden Inn in Kenner, Louisiana every Sunday. Because so many of their parishioners no longer live in the New Orleans area, the Bilbos have basically been pioneering a new church, as they have started all over again to build the ministry of Praise Church.
In addition to carrying on their labor of love in New Orleans, the Bilbos are pioneering a new church in Gonzales, Louisiana in the fall of 2007. This new church is "The Miracle Center", located 45 minutes from Metro New Orleans.
Through their ministry, many souls are finding salvation, experiencing deliverance and receiving miraculous healings. God has commissioned and provided the opportunity for them to reach beyond New Orleans, traveling and ministering, bringing revival outside the four walls of Praise Church and into other areas. The Bilbos have been guests on TBN and Daystar Television broadcasts in addition to hosting their own program which has aired in two states thus far.
Amongst Garland's many outside speaking engagements, he has had the honor of being a featured speaker at conferences with Prophet Kim Clement, and has ministered at Dr. Mark Chironna's church in Orlando. He has traveled across the nation ministering the Gospel.
Both Garland and Beverly have been guest speakers at the Brownsville Assembly of God Pastor's Conferences, as well as other pastors and leadership meetings.
Garland Bilbo is the author of the book entitled, "The Jezebel Spirit", with his wife Beverly serving as the ghost writer for this endeavor. This book has proven to be an effective tool for ministers and leaders. It is an expose' of the traps that Satan uses to abort the anointing and revival in an individual and in the corporate body of Christ. Garland has also written curriculum and training manuals for church leadership. Garland's sermon delivery is straightforward, challenging the souls of man to develop a lifestyle of repentance. He possesses the unique ability to train church leaders to support the vision of the pastor.
Being in ministry all of her life, the Lord has taught Beverly through the Word and personal experience how to be an overcomer. God has truly prepared her for such a time as this.
Beverly is an anointed preacher/teacher and sought after conference speaker. She has had the privilege to minister at several conferences throughout the country, including being a featured speaker at the Brownsville Women's Conferences, as well as ministering in conferences with Suzanne Hinn, Debra Morton, Paula White, Juanita Bynum, Darlene Bishop and many other prominent women of God.
In addition, she has authored three books to date, “Wounded in the House of My Friends”, “Free From the Grip of Fear”, and she co-wrote with her husband Garland, “The Jezebel Spirit”. She is presently working on other desperately needed publications. Her writing is practical and gets down to the heart of the issue. Beverly's desire is to see lives changed as a result of her work.
At the age of 3, Beverly began singing. Over the years her voice has matured and she has become an excellent, anointed vocalist. She has recorded two solo albums and has directed and produced the Praise Church Mass Choir, Youth Choir, and Adoration Worship Team, as well as her daughter Bethany’s CD entitled “Bethany”. At the age of 12 she began ministering on television through song. To date, she has been a host and guest on ministry television talk shows and telethons, as well as producing several one-hour television specials, herself.
Her sermons have also been aired on SkyAngel as well as in New Orleans and Pensacola, FL.
Annually the Bilbos conduct youth and women's conferences. They have also hosted the Generals of Intercession, Prophetic and Worship Conferences. One of the Bilbos goals is to provide training seminars at their churches, to equip the body of Christ to carry on the work of the ministry.
