Pastor Vanessa R. Byrd, born on October 25th in Williamston, North Carolina was sought after in the spirit before being manifested in the earth. A prolific teacher of the Word and a dynamic preacher, she was raised in the Baptist Church and served in various capacities to support and assist her pastor. Even during her earlier years in the church, she always knew that God required more of her. Upon accepting the Lord as her personal Savior, she gained an intense hunger and thirst for the fulfillment of God's Word in her life.
As she continued to seek after the Lord in her daily walk, promotion came from the Lord. On March 5, 1989, Pastor Byrd, upon hearing the audible voice of the Lord saying, Evangelist, preach my Word, began to walk in the office of the evangelist. Traveling extensively throughout the United States was the essence of her life.
On July 17, 1999, Paradise Outreach Ministries was established at 1009 Brown Street in the city of Washington, North Carolina. As the Lord added daily to the ministry, the ministry relocated to a larger edifice in the city of Washington to continue the work that had been assigned to their hands. In May of 2005, the Lord spoke to Pastor Byrd to start Paradise Outreach Ministries II in Raleigh, North Carolina.
God has so graciously favored this Pastor who operates in the five-fold ministry. She has birthed numerous ministries from under the umbrella of Paradise Outreach Ministries. When asked how can she remain so humble when God has blessed her so immensely, she looks up and says, "To God be the glory for the things He has done." She realizes that her success in ministry and the anointing upon her life is the result of God's grace and His mercy towards her.
Pastor/Prophet Byrd, operating in the five-fold ministry, can be heard via internet on www.pominc.org every Sunday morning at 11:00 am and Bible Study each Tuesday at 7:30 pm. Pastor Byrd can also be heard 24 hours a day on her broadcast, Water into Wine and each Tuesday at 10:00 pm across WDJZ Radio in Bridgeport Connecticut and Gospel Radio One each day from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. After preaching and prophesying the Word of the Lord to the people, she always closes each broadcast by saying, I love you to life for real real, minute now, God is going to do this thing and Hallelujah
