About 
Glory be to God Ministries

We are an equipping and prayer ministry, based on the word of God.

As we help image bearers of Christ become free from strongholds our focus is on Jesus and all that HE calls us to do as disciples.

Hear the heart behind our mission.

In this interview, we talk about why we do what we do—

and who we do it for.

Our Story

After walking in the healing and deliverance ministry for several years the Lord called me to write curriculum for the teaching and edification of others.

Once written, it sat for 3 years.

 

During 2022, in prayer, the Lord instructed me ‘that it was time’. With humble beginnings we conducted our first and second class in my living room which held 10 sisters per class. 

We saw gifts manifested, healing happen and equipping arise.

 

In 2023 our third class was held on the campus of The Church of Eleven22, Fleming Island. The class grew to 17 and included both men and women.

​

As the Lord continues to call us to greater heights, He led me to create Glory be to God ministries, Inc. so the church would be equipped and captives set free.

Susie Markle

Minister

Hi!!  My name is Susie Markle, and I am a grateful believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the world.

I was saved as a teen, and had gotten away from the Lord during college.  The Lord took me back, for which I could not be more grateful.   I moved to the Jacksonville area approximately 2 years ago from the Detroit Michigan area, where I had lived for 20 years after transferring to Detroit from Chicago for work.

I was heavily involved in my previous church, Brightmoor Christian Church, including Directorships of 3 ministries over time.  I most recently volunteered in a number of capacities in the area of foster care, including Director of Mentoring for our teenage program, Teen Reach Adventure Camp (TRAC), and Asst Director of the actual TRAC camp.  For years I also was Child Placement Director for our Royal Family Kids Camp (RFKC), ministering to children 6-12 of age, and TRAC, where I got to work with foster care agencies and foster parents.  I was a challenge course facilitator for TRAC, as well as a long time mentor of an RFKC and TRAC girl, who I still mentor today. 

I am now serving in a number of capacities at the Church of Eleven 22, including Care Team, Students, Kids and Hospitality.  I have experienced the Middle School missions trip in 2022, and look forward to another planned missions trip in 2024.

I am most grateful to the Lord that He can take a vessel made of clay, pour Himself in via the blessed Holy Spirit, and use that vessel for His glory!  I look forward to being used to advance the Kingdom of God via any ways the Lord asks.

Your sister in Christ, Susie

I began walking in the deliverance ministry as a receiver and am now humbled and grateful to be serving in this ministry as a minister. I absolutely love diving into God’s word, praying to Him and asking Him to align who I am with His word and what He says. I hear the voice of God clearly and am constantly reminded of His goodness and miracles, and I continually see Him working in all things. I pray you see Jesus in me. Blessings to you and your loved ones,

Your sister in Christ, Amanda.

Hebrews 12:1-2 - 12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the [a]author and [b]finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.​

Milan Amar

Minister Level 4

Hello, my name is Milan Amar. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior at the age of 10. After trying to find my own way in this world, God called me home and I was baptized May 15, 2022. I have since participated in GBTG Ministries Spiritual Warfare, Weapons of Warfare, and Intro to Deliverance course. I have found freedom in walking through deliverance myself. In June of 2023 God made a way for my mother and I to go on missions to Kenya. I got to experience and participate in spreading the gospel, praying for brothers and sisters in Christ, and walking others through deliverance. I thank God for the authority He has given us in the mighty name of Jesus.

Jay Evans

Minister

Hi my name is Jay Evans. I am 63 and I am a Messianic Jew that found salvation 20 years ago. For work, I have spent the majority of my life both in the corporate world and as an entrepreneur. I am also a former Marine. I work in Jacksonville as a commercial general contractor. I have experienced many unusual trials and I have experienced the loss of an adult son. If you have had your life turned inside-out or gone from the mountain top to the valley and need someone to listen, talk to, and pray with you/for you, let’s talk.  I have witnessed the Lord moving mountains. He is still very much in the big miracle working business.
