Thad
Barnum
Thad’s passion in ministry has always been the preaching of the gospel. In these last ten years, he has devoted himself to the pastoral care and discipling of clergy, elders, and church leaders across denominational lines. During their nearly 39 years of marriage, Thad and Erilynne (as she was gifted with a powerful discipleship ministry) planted two churches and gave themselves fully to the gospel work of "presenting everyone mature in Christ." (Col 1:28) It is this work of “transformation into the likeness of Jesus” that evangelizes the heart, nourishes believers on the milk and meat of Scripture, grows us in godly character and conduct, and empowers us in the Holy Spirit to be witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ to the world.
As Erilynne once said, "the strongest witness to a dying world is a transformed life." It is this work that Thad carries on through this ministry of call2disciple.
He presently serves as Assisting Bishop to the Anglican Diocese of the Carolinas as well as the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains, and currently lives on the coast of South Carolina

Erilynne
Barnum
Erilynne was the Founder of call2disciple (parent company, Ariel/A Ministry of Proclamation). In 1977, three women came to her and asked, "Would you disciple us?" Her love, passion, and devotion to discipling the body of Christ to maturity in faith became her life's work. In 1998-2004, her discipleship teachings were filmed and are now available on our call2disciple YouTube channel and podcast. Erilynne was an ordained Anglican deacon, had four beautiful daughters, eleven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
On Thursday, August 6, 2020, Erilynne finished her race, the heavens opened, and “the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” was abundantly supplied to her (2 Peter 1.11).
