Sam and Sharon Bradham grew up in  Aiken, SC, where they received Jesus and the baptism in the Holy Spirit in their teen years, becoming bold witnesses for the Lord.  They met and were married at Sojourners' Lodge, an outreach ministry of North Aiken Baptist Church, where they assumed the director responsibilities for six years.  Active in church most of their married lives, Sam and Sharon have worked in the ministry of helps for decades, doing whatever their hands find to do.  As leadership in Faith Fellowship Church of North Augusta, SC, Sam and Sharon held small home groups, ministering to many, including the singles of their church. They later became directors of the Missions program making five trips to Mexico, helping to build churches and houses for pastors, and share the love of God. 

In 1992, after moving to Franklin, NC, Sam and Sharon ministered as youth pastors for seven years.  During that time, they founded and operated Franklin Youth Services, Inc., an outreach ministry for area teens.  In 2002, they pioneered and pastored Word and Spirit Ministries, Inc. in Franklin.  They witnessed God do incredible miracles in people's lives: saving, delivering, and healing for several years.  Then in July of 2005, the Lord directed Sam and Sharon to attend Rhema Bible Training Center (RBTC) in Broken Arrow, OK.  In March 2007, they traveled with a team from RBTC to Huanuco, Peru, where they ministered on the streets and in local churches, seeing many saved and healed by the power of God. They are 2007 graduates of RBTC,  training in their second year for pastoral ministry. 

While at RBTC, they were members of Rhema Bible Church (RBC) and served in various ways in the ministry of helps.  Sam and Sharon were given the opportunity to assist in implementing a new small group program and oversee some of those leaders.  In April 2008, the Lord directed them to return to WNC, specifically to Brevard, to pioneer and pastor a work that is distinctive in its approach to people and to the Word of God.  Sam and Sharon now reside in Brevard, NC.  They have two married children and two granddogs.  It has been said, "Sam and Sharon's greatest attribute is their love for people" -- come and let them share the love of God with YOU!
