OUR HISTORY
2000 Pastor Linda began holding virtual Bible studies, ministering to a global audience. Soon, she began ministering as a local evangelist and teacher​, sharing the salvation message wherever she went. After suffering a mini-stroke in 2003, Pastor Linda returned to online ministry, and Cross Connections Ministries was born. In 2005, the Lord led her to the PMEC leadership conference in Wilmington, DE, where she was affirmed and commissioned to plant churches. In 2006, she was elevated and served as Church Plant administrator.
After experiencing a stroke in 2008, Pastor Linda began a road to recovery. Yet, she shared the gospel with anyone who entered her home. During this time, she came in contact with Bishop Elle "El" Stevens. It was under her tutelage that Pastor Linda's ministry grew. She served within Temple of Intercession as Pastor of Evangelism and later interim pastor. In 2023, Bishop El transitioned from earth to glory. The ministry was dissolved, and Pastor Linda was released to serve her calling. With the mandate to preach and teach the gospel, the Lord led Pastor Linda to change the name of Cross Connections Ministries to Equip to Serve Global Outreach Ministries.
Pastor Linda has recently ministered to individuals and congregations across three continents: North America, Africa, and South Asia. Her unwavering dedication to fostering the growth and maturity of God's people in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, has been our hallmark. This pursuit of excellence has driven our development into the ministry we are today. For further details about our services, please get in touch with us today.

BLVRS BOOTCAMP
As the name suggests, BLVRS Bootcamp is a 12-Week discipleship bootcamp for new and growing disciples of Jesus Christ. The first 6-weeks is the "basic training' for new believers. Topics include, "I'm Saved, Now What?" "Knowing Your Bible" and "Armor Up!" Once completed, participants move on to Phase 2 with (AIT) Applied Individual Training. Here students participate in projects and cohorts that help them understand their gifts and how they can be used within the church or in the marketplace.
The TEA
Join us for a unique Bible Study called, THE TEA where you can experience Transformation, Edification, and Application through God's word. Each month we will dive into and discuss a book of the Bible. We'll look at characters, societal norms, and the gambit of plots, twists, relationship all while gaining an understanding of God's plan and faithfulness. We begin our journey in Proverbs. This is Bible Study reimagined.
