Evangelist Kajsa Cole has been chosen by God for full time service to the Body of Christ as an anointed preacher and teacher of the word of God. She currently serves at The Firehouse Church, Inc. where she shares in ministry with her husband of 11 years Pastor Scotty Cole, in Meridian, Mississippi. They share two beautiful children Zion and Jonathan Cole. Evangelist Cole made a commitment to Christ at sixteen years of age. She felt and received the call of God on her life at the age of eighteen. And at the tender age of 22 she preached her first sermon entitled “Don’t get Comfortable in an Uncomfortable Position”. This message served to be prophetic for Evangelist Cole and encouraged her to never fall into a comfort zone, but yet keep pressing toward the mark and escalating in God. Evangelist Cole was ordained in December 2008 at the age of 28. She has
the heart of a worshiper. She believes that when we worship God
with our whole heart, He will reveal to us who He is, and who
we are to Him. Believing the call on her life is to encourage
and exhort the Saints of God, she works diligently to walk worthy
of her calling in the service of the Lord. With a love for God and a clear understanding of her purpose in Christ, the Lord has anointed her to encourage others to step out on faith as they strive to reach their destiny in God! |
