Established Faith Ministries

Neil Waddell

Neil was  raised in Arlington, Texas.  He attended Christian schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and graduated from Lake Country Christian School.  He was saved at the age of 7 and has been aware of the call to ministry for much of his life.  When other little boys would dream of being firemen and astronauts, Neil's only desire has always been to "be as much like Jesus" as he could possibly be.  He did not live a life of ease though.  He has experienced many hardships that have drawn him deeper into the Word of God and deeper into his desire for the truth.  Through it all, God has been so Faithful and what had the potential to deter his faith, actually was the thing to root and ground it.  His experience has established his faith in God and in His Word.  Here in Texas, there is a saying about alumni of Texas A&M University, "they bleed maroon" (the school colors).  For Neil it would be appropriate to say "he bleeds black and white print".  The Word of God has become everything to him.  What drives him is the need to preach the Word of God and help others find what he has found: peace and security through the unchangeable, powerful, Word of the Living God.  His love for the Word and for the things of God is contagious and his ministry is proof of that very thing.  Neil can be contacted by email at Neil@EstablishedFaith.org or by using the Contact Us tab on this site.

Jody Waddell

Jody moved many times growing up and spent most of her time in the barn with her best friend, her horse.  She grew up in a Christian home but the family didn't attend church or read the bible very often.  Through the constant moving and changing relationships, she somehow learned to define herself by the opinions of others and the value they assigned her.  Those definitions led to very low self-esteem and deep rooted insecurity.  Neil and Jody married in 1992 and not until that union did she begin to learn the truth about who she was to God, who she was in Him, and what He had given her through the cross.  Those definitions of failure and defeat began to be changed.  She was finally free.  She has come to a place of security in who she is  in God and the call on her life.  Jody  loves to teach others about the treasure that is found in the Word of God.  She has spent the last 14 years ministering to children from pre-school age to 6th grade, endeavoring to help each child learn the same lessons she has been teaching  adults.  There is no difference in the spirit realm.  Children can experience the same power and Love that adults do on a regular basis if they are taught to expect it. Jody is passionate about showing others how to apply the Truth and key principles of God's Word to their own lives to so they too can live in victory and Love.  Jody can be contacted by email at Jody@EstablishedFaith.org or by using the Contact Us tab on this site.
