KATHY BICHSEL

BEGINNING 

In the late 1970s, Kathy Bichsel met Jesus Christ at a Fellowship for Christian Athlete’s Bible study. Soon after, at a Jesus rally in the woods of Pennsylvania, she had a dramatic encounter with the Holy Spirit. Forever transformed by her Savior and the power of His fiery baptism, Kathy received her call into the ministry at a local church service during her college years. While attending church one Sunday morning, a visiting evangelist, Rev. Richard Myers, called her out from the crowd and prophetically confirmed what she suspected in her heart – she was called to the five-fold ministry and, uniquely, a ministry that would operate apostolically. She graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center in 1984 with a burning passion to see the “glory of God cover the earth as the waters cover the sea” and awaken the Church to its true power and influence. Kathy is a graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is also the former Senior Pastor of Hope for the Nations Worship Center, a work which she founded in 1998 as House of Hope Bible Church. In 2012, Kathy formed Kathy Bichsel Ministries. The ministry also regularly hosted a regional gathering called UNFILTERED, where people were invited to experience the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit in an unrestricted atmosphere. Through the ministry’s web-based media endeavor, Beautiful Life TV, and The Beautiful Life Podcast, Kathy engages her audience with deep scriptural truths in a casual, instructional manner that imparts knowledge and skill to live lives of victory and fruitfulness in Christ.
