Her passion to see people delivered & set free by Jesus
Each time Rachelle worships, she sees it as another opportunity to give God Glory, invite His presence on the scene, and then see Him move mightily in the lives of people! She loves to exhort others to take back enemy ground in their lives from what has been stolen and claim it for His kingdom. She's been referred to as a Holy Ghost "sniper"..... specially trained to hone in on, identify & expose the specific enemy targeting a person - but when the Holy Ghost moves, He uses her to strike swiftly & quickly to break the chains of bondage! "Jesus already paid the price for for everything on that cross! He wants us to walk in that freedom and authority.... set free from the lies of the enemy that continue on this earth, and wants his people fully restored, whole-complete-fully equipped to walk out our God given destinies through His Power & His victorious might - overflowing love & peace in every area of our lives!"
Rachelle Mentors folks from all walks of life to become all God has called them to be.. She recognizes the need for "balanced" biblical deliverance & Inner healing. ministry for those who have difficulty walking in their full freedom & victory that Christ died to give us. She has trained & studied under several great ministries & ministers of God for almost 20 yrs. Along the way, she has witnessed much unbalanced teaching, as well as a lack of teaching & understanding in the Body of Christ. She has tried to narrow it down to a very streamlined format and process that simplifies it for those needing victory in a certain area of their life that they just can't seem to break free from, For some, it's simply a matter of teaching them their own God given authority over the enemies of darkness, & teaching them that all the powers of darkness over believers were stripped at the cross and how to excercise and enforce that authority. For others, it is a process of navigating through complex areas of the soul that are sometimes being blocked or hindered that are giving the "legal rights" over to the enemy or having an "open door" to operate due to a lack of knowledge and simply being unaware. For some individuals, it leads back to traumas that an individual experienced, and sometimes that is where enemies like to hide, manipulate and lie to the individual. With solid Biblical teaching coupled with strategic prayer, she has helped folks identify their adversary and re-claim their freedom rights to walk victoriously with kingdom power & authority!
Maybe you are a survivor of sexual, physical or emotional abuse... Rachelle has a very timely message of Hope for you today that it's not too late for you walk free from your past and be victorious in Christ! She has fought many battles and overcome many enemy's along the way to still be standing in boldness, confidence and assurance of her Victory. Her testimonies are so vast, and varying in degree, that she plans to release an autobiography to record her life experiences of God's Faithfulness. His Mercy and Grace has protected her from pretty hard situations as a young child throughout adulthood - and has made her what she is today... strong in the Lord and the Power of His might! Maybe you struggle with fear/phobias, loneliness, neglect, drug or alcohol abuse, depression/oppression, betrayal, have learning disabilities, not raised in christianity, have weight issues, or thoughts of suicide.... maybe you were sexually assaulted, r raped, or maybe your a single parent, a pastor or a pastor's wife, a youngster or teen... maybe you are a business owner, a stay at home mom, or a husband, boss, or a grandparent.... I can assure you, anyone can gain some type of encouragement from this book as everyone has experienced some kind of "wounding or pain" in their life. Whatever the circumstance, you will be strengthened in your faith that you are not alone in this world.
"One of the many things I take-away from all of my life experiences is to be 'okay' whether behind the scenes as God does the inner work of restoration, or in the forefront of the public eye, knowing that I can only do that by the Grace of God operating in my life. I stand on this declaration daily 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' Phil 4:10. You may not always wake up feeling like you can, and many times it will be a battle that your mind must conquer. Without the grace of God to help us every step of the way, we cannot "do " this life as God had originally intended.... we must learn to depend on God for everything, and I know this book will encourage anyone who has had any kind of struggle or disappointment in life. Prior to my finding Christ, I was one who managed to somehow keep it all together on the outside, while on the inside, I was dying & unfulfilled. I think many can identify with that at some point or time in our lives. As a leader, life's many responsibilities pull on our time and attention, but despite the varying degrees of pressures, I know one thing - I'm never alone going through the valleys of challenge. The good news is that behind every challenge and struggle, is another victory won that you or someone you come into contact with can benefit from. That is when you can share with them someone who understands great pain and who experienced it all first hand... and that is Jesus - He can identify with every pain there is as He bore it all on the Cross!"
Please be a support to complete this project, as you will be blessed for your giving, and it will help countless people know that they can indeed conquer anything in life and that it is never too late for you to be an overcomer through a growing relationship with Jesus.

About Rev. Kathy
Rev. Katherine Lombardo is the President/Founder of Christ Is Life Ministry Outreach, Inc. She holds a Master Degree in Biblical Studies, and Teaching. She functions in the five fold ministry office of teacher, and is a Bible teacher & speaker of the ministry.
Her Giftings
Rev. Kathy has a strong gift of discernment as to the spiritual teachings & climates in the body of Christ. As a teacher, Rev. Kathy is always careful and cautions theology's that stray from the full council of the Word of God.
Her Background in Ministry
During the time when Kathy owned her own local Christian bookstore in 1995, CILM was birthed and then obtained an additional location called “The Lighthouse”. This location facilitated Bible studies, Fellowships, Support groups, Men’s group meetings, Worship teams, Individual musicians/Solo artists, Guest speakers & Evangelists from around the tri-state area. This is where Rachelle Bleakley was invited to sing publically "for the Lord" for the first time! She has served alongside Rev. Katherine & CILM ever since.
The first official Bible study held at "The Lighthouse" was entitled “Who We Are In Christ” which was a foundational key to the ministry. Kathy's gift is to put the Gospel message in simple, applicable terms, and as a result, all who heard the message received Christ as their Savior. Rachelle attended these local Bible studies in the Fall of 1998. This was just the onset of a much greater relationship and vision that was beginning to unfold.
In 1999, due to heavy financial strains, the two building locations and the large business overhead could no longer be supported. However, God continued to be faithful to confirm that He was not limited to “four walls” of a building structure in order for CILM outreach to continue. CILM was called to continue ministering locally and abroad, and God continued to show them the vision for the nations. This time of standing against adversity and trials, catapulted the ministry to continue by “Faith” to answer the call of God regardless of the very disappointing circumstances. Since that time, the ministry has continued to grow and God has used those early years of experience & development to greatly prepare, and equip Rev. Kathy and Rachelle for ministry through continued formal training and practical hands on experience. Being faithful with the little, God is continuing to make CILM ruler over much!

Rev. Kathy has been the registrar and teacher of Hope In Life Bible College since 2003. Prior to Hope In Life Church, she was a member of Redeeming Love Christian Center in Nanuet, NY from 1995-2000.
