My life and work are dedicated to fostering <strong>unity, mutual respect<\/strong>, and <strong>collaboration<\/strong> within the Body of Christ, as modeled by the early church and as instructed in the Word of God.<\/p>\n<p>As an <strong>Apostle<\/strong>, I affirm the foundational calling described in <strong>Galatians 1:1-2<\/strong> (KJV):<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Paul, an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead; And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And I also declare my commitment to serve in the <strong>spirit of Acts 17:17<\/strong> (KJV), engaging with the community in the pursuit of truth and dialogue, following the example of <strong>Paul<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am called to the role of <strong>Servant Apostle<\/strong> to guide, equip, and empower leaders within the <strong>Cross Body Unity Fellowship<\/strong>, and to foster an environment where <strong>respect, collaboration, and mutual submission<\/strong> are integral to every aspect of ministry and leadership. I uphold the principles of <strong>Ephesians 5:21<\/strong> (KJV), which emphasizes that:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a <strong>one-man woman<\/strong>, I affirm that I have never had a female or male partner other than the father of my children, and I serve in my calling with full integrity. My life is dedicated to the <strong>Lord&#8217;s work<\/strong>, and I do not seek a partner through worldly means such as dating apps or social media platforms like Facebook. My focus is fully on the <strong>ministry<\/strong> that God has called me to fulfill.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Founding of EORR Cross Body Unity Fellowship and IFFM<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In <strong>1995<\/strong>, after a divine encounter with the Lord, I was instructed to establish <strong>The International Fellowship of Foundational Ministries (IFFM)<\/strong>. In <strong>1996<\/strong>, IFFM was formally organized as a 501(c)(3) in the state of <strong>Virginia<\/strong>. However, due to overwhelming challenges and dysfunction within certain ministry environments, particularly in <strong>Texas<\/strong>, the Lord directed me to set down the ministry as a <strong>prophetic sign<\/strong> to these powers. I was also instructed to pause my involvement in charismatic movements as part of this divine redirection. This decision, while difficult, has been part of God\u2019s ongoing work in my life and ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Through this period, I learned the importance of <strong>servant leadership<\/strong>, focusing not on fame or personal gain but on fulfilling the <strong>mission of God<\/strong>\u2014to bring people together in unity, to <strong>equip the saints<\/strong>, and to build up the Body of Christ. The <strong>EORR Cross Body Unity Fellowship<\/strong> is grounded in these principles, where all people, regardless of race, gender, or status, are equally valued, and every individual is given the opportunity to <strong>contribute<\/strong> and <strong>serve<\/strong> in the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n<p>I stand firm in the knowledge that <strong>EORR<\/strong> means <strong>&#8220;Equal Opportunity REAL RESPECT&#8221;<\/strong> for the office of every human made in God\u2019s image. This philosophy is foundational in how I lead and interact with others, and it is the guiding principle for our ministry\u2019s approach to leadership and service.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Cross Body Unity Fellowship<\/strong> is rooted in the example of <strong>Paul\u2019s apostolic model<\/strong> and the unity demonstrated in the <strong>First Church<\/strong>. We reject divisiveness, elitism, racism, and any form of oppression, seeking instead to model <strong>mutual respect, love, and unity<\/strong>\u2014traits that are essential to a functioning, biblical community.<\/p>\n<p>I do not seek fame or personal validation, but I strive to faithfully serve the <strong>Body of Christ<\/strong>, bringing <strong>equity<\/strong> and <strong>respect<\/strong> to all people, regardless of their role or position in the ministry. My heart is fully committed to serving as a <strong>godly example<\/strong> of leadership, always yielding to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every decision, no matter the cost.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Declaration of Peace and Stability<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I have not sought a partner nor been active in social media platforms like Facebook or dating apps, as I trust God will <strong>send<\/strong> me a partner, in His perfect timing, if He wills. Since <strong>2008<\/strong>, I have found <strong>contentment, joy<\/strong>, and <strong>peace<\/strong> in focusing on God&#8217;s significant calling on my life, and I am <strong>Godly contented<\/strong> as described in <strong>1 Timothy 6:6<\/strong> (KJV):<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;But godliness with contentment is great gain.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will not be moved by those who seek to defame, gossip, or undermine this ministry through false accusations, lies, or attempts to &#8220;dig for dirt.&#8221; Despite the <strong>well-funded, fame-hungry gossips<\/strong>, I stand firm in the work that God has set before me, and I declare in the <strong>Holy Name of Jesus Christ<\/strong> that all such attacks are sent back 200-fold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am committed to walking this path in peace, trusting in God\u2019s perfect will<\/strong>, and keeping my eyes fixed on the <strong>mission<\/strong> He has given me, regardless of opposition or the temptations to engage in the distractions of the world.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>(This is how I was raised by both my parents, their parents, who were servant leader Bible scholars and in ministry, business, but not &#8220;back under the Old Timey Country Law&#8221;): See beneath<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Ephesians 5:21 \u2013 A Model for Leadership and Relationships<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ephesians 5:21<\/strong> calls for <strong>mutual submission<\/strong>\u2014submitting to one another in the <strong>fear of God<\/strong>. This principle is the foundation of how I lead and how our ministry functions. Through the model of <strong>mutual respect<\/strong> in relationships, leadership, and ministry, we see that <strong>submission<\/strong> is not about power struggles, domination, or inequality but about <strong>honoring each other<\/strong> and working together for the greater good of the <strong>Body of Christ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This principle is beautifully reflected in <strong>The Andy Griffith Show<\/strong>, where <strong>Sheriff Andy Taylor<\/strong> embodies <strong>servant leadership<\/strong>, treating everyone\u2014whether <strong>Aunt Bea<\/strong>, <strong>Opie<\/strong>, <strong>Barney<\/strong>, or <strong>Gomer<\/strong>\u2014with <strong>respect<\/strong>, <strong>dignity<\/strong>, and <strong>care<\/strong>. No one in Mayberry is treated as inferior or subservient; instead, everyone <strong>submits<\/strong> to each other <strong>in love and mutual respect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As we apply <strong>Ephesians 5:21<\/strong> to our ministry:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is <strong>no hierarchy of dominance<\/strong>\u2014leaders are <strong>servants first<\/strong>, respecting and uplifting those they lead.<\/li>\n<li>There is <strong>no competition for authority<\/strong>\u2014everyone\u2019s <strong>voice<\/strong> is valued, and everyone <strong>collaborates<\/strong> for the sake of the mission.<\/li>\n<li>There is <strong>no fear of submission<\/strong>\u2014because submission is rooted in <strong>mutual respect<\/strong> and <strong>love<\/strong>, not in oppression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether in leadership, <strong>family relationships<\/strong>, or <strong>community<\/strong>, the key is <strong>mutual submission<\/strong>\u2014each person respecting the other, and each person <strong>submitting to God\u2019s authority<\/strong>. This is the model we strive to follow in the <strong>Cross Body Unity Fellowship<\/strong> and in all of our <strong>leadership training<\/strong>, where there is <strong>no big I, no little you<\/strong>, and no room for oppression, racism, or division.<\/p>\n<p>In this ministry, we strive for unity, for mutual respect, for <strong>love<\/strong>, and for the <strong>peace<\/strong> that only comes when we walk in obedience to the <strong>Word of God<\/strong>, as modeled by the <strong>First Church<\/strong> and exemplified in the relationships within <strong>Andy Griffith\u2019s Mayberry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Signed<\/strong>,<br \/>\n<strong>Sister Taveau D&#8217;Arcy<\/strong><br \/>\nHead of Ministry Movement, EORR Cross Body Unity Fellowship<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-471\" src=\"https:\/\/thepastorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-20-at-9.22.36-AM-1024x340.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"880\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepastorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-20-at-9.22.36-AM-1024x340.png 1024w, https:\/\/thepastorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-20-at-9.22.36-AM-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/thepastorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-20-at-9.22.36-AM-768x255.png 768w, https:\/\/thepastorsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-20-at-9.22.36-AM.png 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">THE START OF\u00a0 PART 1<\/span><\/h1>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">SR OFFICE GALATIANS 1:1\u20132<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> CALLING IN A WOMAN (OR MAN&#8217;S) MINISTRY WORLD<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">By Taveau D\u2019Arcy, (C) 2025 Taveau D\u2019Arcy Creative Leadership.

Paul wrote that his commissioning came \u201c<em>not of men, neither by man<\/em>.\u201d The same holds true for any servant \u2014 male or female \u2014 whom the Lord sends out for His purpose. The early church recognized that such callings were confirmed by <strong>fruit, humility, and revelation<\/strong>, not by membership papers or titles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Acts 13:2 \u2014 \u201cAs they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Therefore, a person called and faithful before God does not need to be \u201cunder\u201d a local office ministry merely to be valid. Fellowship and counsel are good, but covering belongs to Christ alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>SUBMISSION THAT IS MUTUAL, NOT HIERARCHICAL<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In the New Testament, submission was <strong>reciprocal<\/strong>, not top-down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>Ephesians 5:21 \u2014 \u201cSubmitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This principle does not create a chain of command; it creates a circle of respect.

In 2007 my husband, after surgery and deep personality change, phoned and declared that he would serve me divorce papers. There was no prayer, counsel, or reasoning.

The First Church model allowed God-called leaders to <strong data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"951\">think, reason, and represent Christ creatively<\/strong> under the Spirit\u2019s direction.
