Forshia's story

Forshia Ross will be the first to tell you that she never would have thought, in 1979, as she was ushered through the locked doors of the mental ward and admitted, one day she would be a speaker, author, and head of an international ministry. Coming from a background of poverty, physical and sexual abuse, and drugs, God would take her before kings and those in high places, as well as those struggling as she has, to share the personal hope that is found in God.

Struggling for many years with depression, physical problems, and abandonment issues, she came out on the other side through her relationship with God; and, her constant searching through the Bible for answers. In 1990 she started a Bible Study in her home on the outskirts of Washington, DC. She walked the neighborhoods placing fliers in the mailboxes inviting neighbors to come. She thought surely people would want to know how Jesus could help them as He had helped her; and, they came! People loved the teachings so much they encouraged her to record her messages. She then began to be asked to speak at churches and prayer gatherings; and so, a ministry was birthed.
So many that have heard her speak have said, “Forshia, you seem to hear God’s voice so clearly. How did you know that’s exactly what I needed?” Forshia Ross has a strong ability to identify where people are in their struggles; and, assist in bringing them to where they need to be. Change happens! Healings happen! Using her own experiences as a backdrop, and the Word of God as a foundation, she is able to unfold the scriptures in such a way that people definitely come away saying, "I can do this!WithGod's help, I can really do this!" She gives hope to the brokenhearted and stirs the hearts of the complacent. She challenges others to lead a life of obedience to God. People have experienced physical,
emotional, and mental healings through her ministry by the grace of God.

Forshia is the author of two books: “No Secondhand Rose, My Name is Forshia “and “The Wilderness Shall Blossom like the Rose”, which chronicles her healing journey that led to personal encounters with God. It is through these encounters, which created in her such a faith, she has been able to impart hope to people; and, believe for the impossible. Her radio program “Hidden Treasures” out of Milan, Italy, gives practical biblical insight for daily living and the difficulties of life. Forshia’s “OvercomingDepressionWorkshops” are life-changing and provide tools with lasting results.

As a licensed and ordained minister, Pastor Forshia Ross is the founder and director of “Forshia RossMinistries”. She served two years, as the Rhode Island State Prayer Coordinator for Aglow International; and, two years as VP of Leadership Development on the RI/MA Area Board. She has also served as their Pastoral Advisor. Forshia has also been responsible for starting a dynamic prayer group called “Deborah’s Army”. Her mission, through prayer, is God’s redemptive plan be accomplished for individuals, churches, communities, and nations. Forshia has been certified inMentalHealth First Aid, given by the National Council for Behavioral Health. She has won two Rhode Island PEG Awards for Best Religious/Spirituality TV Program. Pastor Forshia Ross presently leads a virtual support group of pastors from around New England and New York.

At the end of the day, mental health is a serious problem and is directly tied to living a balanced physical, emotional and spiritual life. Transplanted from the Washington, DC area, Forshia Ross comes from a military family originally from Alabama. She, and her husband Eric, have now made their home in southern Rhode Island. They have two children and seven grandchildren.
