Prophetess Adrinne Blackstock
Founder
Pastor Adrinne Blackstock is a proud wife, and mother of four beautiful children, two of whom are her nephews who were adopted and added to the Blackstock Family. Pastor Adrinne is in Full-Time Ministry and runs her own businesses called Heal Thy People, which specializes in products by Nikken and Avon by Boss Lady Dr. A.
Pastor Adrinne was born and raised in Miami, Florida and graduated from Florida Memorial College with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting. Then she went on to earn her Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Missouri (Kansas City Campus). She also received her Doctorate Degree in Pastoral Theology from Faith Bible College in Independence, Missouri.
After Pastor Adrinne was called by God to the office of a Prophet, she started the Cry Aloud Ministry, which is a Prophetic Ministry called to Cry Loud and Spare Not. This Ministry was birthed to set God's People Free and to Support God's Chosen People, Israel.
In February 2005 Prophetess Adrinne also co-founded Glory Bible Fellowship International Church (GBFIC) with her husband Bishop Adam Blackstock, who she affectionately calls “Bishop.” GBFIC’s mission is to empower God’s people to greatness through the Power of God in Holiness, Righteousness and the Word of God. Also in 2005, GBFIC expanded to add another daughter church in Des Moines, Iowa, which was located in the House of Mercy. That ministry's important purpose was to help develop healed and delivered women in the Des Moines area, which currently connects virtually. Prophetess has also ministered internationally in countries such as Israel, London and Kenya.
Another area that is near and dear to Prophetess’s heart is Community; she is an active member of two regionally and nationally recognized University Health Community Action Boards: UMKC’s KC Faith Initiative, which includes Taking it to the Pews and KC Fit, both programs funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). As well as, KU Med Centers Faithworks Initiative which targeted Colorectal Cancer and Family Gene Mapping, both studies funded by the NIH and published with Bishop Adam & Prophetess Adrinne Blackstock as co-authors with other churches and KU clinicians.
Prophetess is also a long standing member of the Concerned Clergy Coalition of Kansas City (CCCKC), which focuses on economic, educational and racial equity amongst the underserved minority community in the KC Area. CCCKC also has a commitment to stopping gun violence in our community.
With her husband at her side they also host a weekly radio broadcast each Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m. aptly called “Morning Glory” on KPRT 1590 AM Radio. You can stream the broadcast live at www.gbfic.org or www.kprt.com. This show is a powerful half hour used by God to empower his people and to draw all people unto Him.
Last but not least, Prophetess is also an active member of the World Harvest Ministerial Alliance (WHMA) founded by Pastor Rod Parsley of World Harvest Church in Columbus Ohio, who is also her beloved Spiritual Father that she regularly receives instruction and tutelage from. Cry Aloud Ministry also partners with Pastor Rod Parsley Ministries, Kenneth Copeland Ministries, Larry Huch Ministries, 7000 More Covenant Fellowship and other Local and National Ministries.

Bishop Blackstock continued to strive for a biblical education and earned his Doctorate Degrees in Christian Education and Pastoral Theology from Faith Bible College in Independence, Missouri.
Bishop Blackstock, whose gospel ministry started as an under Shepard at one of the largest ministries in the Greater Kansas City Area, learned that the Word of God, Righteousness, and the Holy Spirit will bring about a Power of God that can break through mountains (mountains of strongholds, mountains of physical pain, and mountains of lack).
Several years after being called by God into the Ministry, Bishop founded Glory Bible Fellowship International Church (GBFIC), with the Mandate to bring God's people back to the center of His Will through Healing, Deliverance, Sound Doctrine, and Holy & Righteous Living. He has also began Adam Blackstock Ministries, which is a dynamic ministry that reaches the world for Christ, through Christian Motivational Speaking, Preaching and Teaching the Word of God. He has ministered internationally in Uganda & Kenya.

Alongside him is his wife, Dr. Adrinne Blackstock; a loving co-laborer called, “Prophetess Adrinne”, the two began a journey in faith that started with such humble beginnings. GBFIC went from a church in the basement of Bishop & Prophetess’s home to a wonderful Church edifice in Lee’s Summit, Missouri today. GBFIC also started an Iowa Outreach Ministry that ministers to troubled women at the House of Mercy in Des Moines, Iowa. Bishop Blackstock is also commissioner of Team Believe Track & Field Ministry, an Outreach ministry targeting the inner city youth.
