The Relentless Fire of Faith:
10 Things You Should Know About Apostle Delrene Fordyce
In an age of clickbait prophets and branded pulpits, authenticity is a rare oil. Yet in the bustling borough of the Bronx, one voice continues to echo with conviction, compassion, and consecration: Apostle Delrene Fordyce, Senior Pastor of Gospel Foundation International Healing Ministries.
As her global impact rises, it’s time we peel back the curtain on the woman reshaping urban ministry and healing hearts from Jamaica to New York and beyond.
Called From Childhood
Long before she bore the title “Apostle,” she was simply a 12-year-old girl in Jamaica, W.I., compelled to preach revival messages beside her evangelist mother. A divine call doesn’t wait for adulthood—and Fordyce proved that early.
The Bronx’s Shepherd
Today, she’s not just preaching—she’s pastoring a dynamic, spirit-filled congregation in the Bronx. From worship to welfare, she leads GFIH with clarity, authority, and deep empathy.
Brains Behind the Bible
Fordyce holds dual Bachelor’s degrees and a Master of Divinity. She’s a theological thinker with a therapist’s heart—an academic bridge between head knowledge and heart healing.
A Mission of Wholeness
Under her leadership, GFIH isn’t just a church—it’s a healing hub. Their core mission? Deliverance, discipleship, evangelism, and education through the Holy Spirit.
A Businesswoman with a Burden
As an internationally certified Entrepreneur Coach and Women’s Issues Trainer, Fordyce equips the saints in boardrooms as boldly as she does in the sanctuary. Her message is clear: financial dignity is a form of deliverance.
Dreams, Visions, and Prophetic Flow
Her calling has been continually affirmed through visions, prophetic words, and spiritual encounters. Her ministry is both mystic and methodical—anchored in faith, powered by experience.
Marriage & Ministry
Apostle Fordyce is not alone in this assignment. She ministers alongside her husband, Pastor Joseph Fordyce, with whom she shares three adult children. Together, they model the balance of family, faith, and fire.
Gospel Recording Artist
Yes, she sings too. Her 2024 single, “I Love to Worship You”, is a soulful worship anthem that brings a sweet anointing to every ear it reaches. Her voice is as potent in song as in sermon.
For the Children
Apostle Delrene’s heart beats loudly for the next generation. Through creative outreach like Bible Talk for Children, she plants seeds of Scripture into the soil of young minds.
Streaming the Supernatural
Her Healing Wednesdays Podcast and live Miracle Hour prayer line have become weekly sanctuaries for listeners worldwide. Her digital altar is just a click away, reaching hearts from Nairobi to New York.
Conclusion: The Apostle For Such a Time As This
In a time when many ministries market more than they minister, Apostle Delrene Fordyce stands as a refreshing embodiment of integrity, purpose, and divine assignment. She is not just a woman of the cloth—she is a woman of call, culture, and courage.
May her fire never burn out. May her voice never grow faint. And may the world continue to be lit by her light.

Jesus and the Temple
The relationship between Jesus and the Temple in Jerusalem is a significant aspect of the New Testament and Christian theology. The Temple was the center of Jewish worship and identity, and Jesus' actions and teachings regarding the Temple had profound implications.
The Temple represents various themes in Jesus' ministry:
God's Presence: Jesus referred to himself as the new Temple, indicating that through him, God's presence would be accessible to all, not just in a physical location.
Worship and Sacrifice: Jesus redefined worship and sacrifice, emphasizing faith and personal relationship with God over ritualistic practices.
Judgment and Renewal: His actions in the Temple signified a call for renewal and reform within Judaism, highlighting the importance of genuine faith and ethical living.
The interactions between Jesus and the Temple are pivotal in understanding his mission and the foundation of Christian faith. They illustrate the shift from the old covenant centered on the Temple to a new covenant based on faith in Jesus Christ.
