Get to Know Us
In 1993, Apostle Newble and his wife Teacher Rebecca received their call as pastors and started Unity of the Faith Full Gospel Deliverance church on the campus of Illinois State University. During this time many souls were converted to Jesus Christ and discipled. Within one year the husband and wife team heard the voice of God again saying, “Sacrifice Isaac (Unity of the Faith) upon the sacrificial offering ground.” After much prayer and deliberation, a miracle took place and two congregations merged to create one new congregation. Apostle Eric and Teacher Rebecca submitted themselves under the leadership of Bishop Mark Du Bois, and today they continue to play a vital role in the everyday operations of Judah International Ministries and the oversight and training of the ICCM affiliate churches.
Apostle Eric D. Newble, Sr.
At age twelve, in his home in Rockford, Illinois, the word of the Lord came to him in an audible voice, declaring that “I have called you out to preach, and you will never be like other children.” Several spiritual mentors confirmed this word very shortly after. He started preaching at age 18 and was ordained and licensed as a minister while in college. Eric D. Newble Sr. serves the Body of Christ in the Office of the Apostle. He is the Founder & CEO of Eric Newble Ministries, a 501(c)3 mobile ministry that is a multifaceted entity that crosses cultures, denominations, and generations. He is the Senior Leader of Inspiring Ministries International in Jackson, Tennessee, and Executive Elder at Judah International Ministries in Mackinaw, Illinois – both thriving multicultural ministries in their communities. An anointed preacher, teacher, and developer of entrepreneurs, he inspires people to pursue their purpose. This is not just the ministry mantra; it’s his everyday lifestyle and mission. He serves as an Armour Bearer and is the right hand to his spiritual father, Bishop Mark A. Du Bois. Apostle Eric has been well trained in the internal and external running of ministry: church government, training and developing leaders, and activating teams. This training has made him a viable resource as a consultant to senior leaders, providing structure and government for their local assembly. Apostle Eric is called to instruct and encourage the Body of Christ to pursue the “More of God.” His passion for and insight into the mysteries of God will motivate your church to move into the deep waters of God’s Glory.
