APOSTLE DR. JOHN H. CHAMBERS, III Founder and Senior Pastor Believers of Authority Ministries “Spreading the Gospel for 25 Years” “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” {Romans 8:14} Apostle Dr. John H. Chambers is a “servant” appointed by God to spread the gospel. As Founder and Senior Pastor of Believers of Authority Ministries (BOA), a non-denominational, “Word” Church, in Miami (Coco- nut Grove), Florida he understands his primary role is to Pray, Preach and Teach. {Acts 6:4}. He is anointed as an Apostle and gifted as a Prophet and Teacher to feed knowledge and understanding to hurting people. Apostle Chambers was formally educated in the Mi- ami-Dade Public School System, Miami-Dade Com- munity College and Florida A&M University (FAMU). On November 12, 2016, Apostle Chambers received his Doctorate Degree in Theology from C.E.L.A. In- ternational University. Apostle Chambers was influ- enced most by his grandmother, Everlena Crawford, a Godfearing pillar in Wells Temple-Church of God in Christ. She proclaimed at a very early age that her grandson would preach the gospel. In 1995, Apostle Chambers was ordained as a Pastor, started BOA, and proceeded with devoting full time to spreading the gospel and building BOA Ministries. Knowing that pro- motions come from God, Apostle Chambers accepted the mantle to be ordained to the office of Prophet, by the late Apostle Joseph Sims, President, End Times Ministries International (ETM), headquartered in Riv- erside, CA. He served as Chief Prophet International with ETM from 2002 to 2006. In 2006, he was or- dained to the office of Apostle by order of End Times Ministries International. From 2011 to 2013 he served as Chaplain for the National Association of Real Es- tate Brokers, headquartered in Lanham, Maryland. BOA is a refuge where individuals can be fed spiritu- ally, have their needs met naturally, and become a vital part of the community and society; with love and faith serving as key ingredients. God has led Apostle Chambers to successfully establish BOA Job Place- ment Services. For two decades, Apostle Chambers desire to inspire and motivate young people has man- ifested with “Back-to-the-Hood”, a motivational forum targeted to youth and teenagers, to remind them that success begins with Romans 12:2, to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. This year’s forum is scheduled to be in summer 2020; at Virrick Park, in Coconut Grove. In 2013, BOA purchased the church in Coconut Grove that God promised to Apostle Chambers. Also, Apos- tle Chambers serves as the elected President of the Coconut Grove Ministerial Alliance (CGMA). Apostle Chambers’ vision for the CGMA is to implement “sys- tems integration” which will bring churches together to resolve community issues. In addition to serving as President of the Coconut Grove Ministerial Alli- ance, Apostle Chambers serves as an Advisory Board Member for the University of Miami School of Law Center for Ethics and Public Service (CEPS); and as a Board of Director for the Collective Empowerment Group (CEG) of South Florida. He is a member of the Board of Directors for Fellowship Covenant Min- istries International (FCMI); and a member of Right Connection Evangelistic Association.
