Patsy Cross-Cole is a devoted wife and blessed mother of five.She was born and reared
in Mineral Wells, Texas by her parents Arthur and Billie Cross. She is the sixth of eight
children. Patsy gives much tribute to her parents for “training up a child in the way he
should go”. Attending Sunday school was a foundation laid by her parents, for which
Patsy will always be grateful. She has continued to build her life upon that Christian
foundation. “Although I’ve had many renovations and my life is constantly under
construction, the Word of God has been a sure foundation whereas, I’m still standing!”
Born from a lineage of teachers and preachers, Patsy has followed closely in those
footsteps. She earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health and Physical Education
from East Texas State University. (Presently known as Texas A&M at Commerce.) While
attending East Texas State, she was added to the list of Who’s Who among Students in
Colleges and Universities in recognition of her academic achievements. She also attended
and completed course-study on Understanding Prophetic Principles, at Mantle Bible
Institute formerly located in Fort Worth, Texas.
Patsy is an evangelist, teacher/health educator, poet, writer and dramatist. She is also a
conference speaker and Host of the annual "Meet Me in the Spirit" conference. Patsy
deems her most important credentials as being an entrepreneur for Jesus Christ and an
ambassador for the Kingdom of God. Although she received salvation at a young age, it
was not until 1998 that Patsy began to "do the work of an evangelist". In addition to full-
time ministry, she has taught Christian Education for seven years on both Elementary and
Secondary levels. Patsy currently teaches Science & Bible on the secondary level at
Trinity Christian School in Cedar Hill, Texas.
Patsy has served faithfully in many areas of ministry throughout the Body of Christ:
Sunday School/Bible Study Instructor, Youth Director, Women’s Ministry Program
Director, Drama Team Co-Director, Usher Board, Evangelistic/Outreach Team, and
Gatekeepers Intercessory Team. Some of Patsy's ministry highlights were during her
four years of voluntary service at Carswell Federal Women Prison. She has also served as
a volunteer for United Way Meals on Wheels, Hand-to-Hand Food Bank, Mission
Arlington, and many other non-profit organizations. In 2005 Patsy initiated a citywide
Prayer Walk in Arlington, Texas.
After discovering the intentions of God for her life, Patsy "birthed forth" and became
Founder/President of I AM Evangelistic Ministry and Patsy Cole & Will Thou Be
Made Whole Ministries. She is a member and holds the office of Chaplain for the Dallas
Chapter of Women-N-Power International of which Evangelist Inetta Cooper of South
Carolina is National CEO/Founder. She was a cast member of Mary Humphries Ministries
Stageplay "Babylon Rising"-Something's Just Not Right About That Church! Patsy’s
favorite past-times are: fishing/camping, interior decorating, reading/writing, traveling, and
enjoying the fellowship of family and friends.
Patsy has been instructed by the Holy Spirit to utilize her ministry gifts in order to fulfill
scripture according to Isaiah 61:1 “…to preach good tidings unto the meek, bind up the
brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those that
are bound…” She has carried out this mandate by ministering during many events and in
various establishments. Some of them include: Federal prisons, juvenile detention centers,
evangelistic crusades, women prayer-groups, seminar/retreats, and conferences.
"I've had many giants to contend with..., but God has not allowed me to be overthrown
by any of them. I've also had my share of "wilderness experiences" of which I have
learned to appreciate. I truly believe that if we circumvent the wilderness periods of life
and always take the 11-day journey to Canaan, we might not be equipped to secure our
possessions once we reach our Promise Land." Although Patsy clearly understands that
her divine assignment is to help advance the Kingdom of God, she's constantly reminded
that her Highest Call is to demonstrate the love of Jesus and to love and serve God with
all her heart and soul. Patsy has definitely heard the heart-beat of God concerning those
that are wounded, sick, incarcerated, and broken in spirit. She makes it clear that seeing
people "set-free for real" is her driving force. “I don’t want notoriety…one of my desires
is that my life be a reflection of what I believe in God. My greatest desire with the
exception of household salvation, is to reach the masses with the saving knowledge of
Jesus Christ by any means necessary.”
Without a doubt, this "earthen vessel" has truly had an encounter with God. He has drawn
Patsy into deep and intimate places of prayer. These extended times in God's presence
has released a fresh prophetic and healing anointing. Patsy is excited and considers it an
honor to co-labor with Christ as He brings in this end-time harvest of souls. As God
continues to build His character in her, Patsy is truly learning what it means to go from
“faith to faith” and from “glory to glory”.
is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach...

What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 1 Corinthians 9:18–19
