Meet The Pastor
Cindy Higgins
Only by the grace of God, did Cyndi Harper survive complications at birth and a violent upbringing. Many would argue that it is out of character that a survivor of both childhood and domestic abuse would love, live, and teach peace as much as she does. Perhaps one needs only to remember the words of Joseph in Genesis 50:20, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” Although not legally changing her name, many know her as Pastor Cyndi Higgins.
Pastor Cyndi was ordained under Dr. Morris Cerullo of Morris Cerullo World Evangelism and Bishop (Dr.) Anthony Yeboah of Free International Missions in January 2012. She is the Sr. Pastor of Barefoot Gardens Fellowship Ministries in Ada, Michigan (Grand Rapids). The local focus is on binding up the broken-hearted through the 35 week course, “Rejoice Freedom;” a recovery program that she wrote the curriculum and lesson plans for. This course helps individuals recover from emotional hurts that have led them into addictions and destructive behaviors. The structuring of the Mission’s Ministry, Run-Away-Brides (RAB) and writing the autobiographical book of a reconciled bride to initiate the cause and inspire run-away-brides to return to Jesus is her current endeavor. With her God-given writing talent and being a trained Art Museum Docent, she weaves the beautiful purpose of art into introducing God’s beloved masterpieces with love, compassion, and understanding.
Cyndi is a National and International public speaker. She joins the Congressional Prayer Conference when possible in Washington DC, for National and International Prayer. Under the prompting of the Holy Spirit, Cyndi records and releases ‘Warfare Prayers’ to exhort and strengthen the body of Christ.
Cyndi is married to John Michael Higgins, a solid man of God and a full time crop farmer in Michigan. Together they have 8 adult children and 22 grandchildren. They own and operate a Christian Guest House in Ada, Michigan for traveling Christians from various parts of the world; it is called Country Barefoot Gardens Christian Guest House.
