A Relational Discussion Forum Dedicated to Apostles

    Our Founder

Apostle M. Adrienne Hawthorne founded Apostles Today in 2000. Adrienne's fatal car accident on October 23rd, 2002 took her from the responsibilities of running her ministry in Rochester, New York as well as the Apostles Today e-mail list. 

However, the heartbeat of what God started through her continues to live.  Bret Wade, her apostle and spiritual father, assumed her ministry positions to perpetuate the work that she had begun at the Lord's direction and Adrienne's request.  Her ministry included a prophetic school, a newly established church and this forum.

Apostle Hawthorne displayed a tremendous grace to network apostles and prophets of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Adrienne ministered in churches, conferences, workshops and various other meetings. Leaders were drawn to her and responded to her grace gifting. 

Adrienne could also be found on her laptop computer into the early hours of the morning giving of herself to help advance the apostolic cause.  Her mentoring was accomplished through her prophetic schools, e-mail, phone, publishing website articles, instant messenger, chat rooms and live online broadcasts. A favoured saying of hers was, "A baby's got to do what a baby's got to do!"

The team of apostles that moderate this domain plan on keeping Adrienne's spirit of mutual impartation alive by providing a place for those interested in the apostolic to network and be mentored through the grace of God.

Bret Wade

From 2002 Bret Wade took up the banner of Apostles Today. Bret is an Apostle with an extensive network of Apostles and ministers across the world.

Bret’s purpose is one of mentoring, training and sending ministers; networking ministries; planting and strengthening churches. His mandate from God is to "equip equippers" and to "build strong soldiers for the twenty-first century". This is partly achieved by assisting ministers in establishing their churches in present truth and the current season of God.

Bret and Teresa Wade serve as an apostle and prophetess team to Realm Ministries. They are parenting sons and daughters and partnering in covenant relationships through divine connections. Their home base is located in Huntsville, Alabama where they reside along with their two children, Jessica and Jonathan.

Kenn and Lee Bacon

On the 9th of October 2007, Bret passed the baton to Lee Bacon after the Lord impressed upon him that Lee loved His people and would always have their best interests at heart. At Lee's request Kenn successfully developed the social network for the Apostles Today fellowship as a further tool for the building of connectivity and relationships among the ministers. Kenn had been diagnosed with cancer of the tonsil and was told he had three months to live. By God's grace Kenn lived almost four years after his diagnosis and faithfully served this fellowship and his Pastors lists, with not only his computer skills but also his love and compassion for the ministers needs at every level. He often called, prayed with and encouraged men and women from all over the world whenever they were in need. He would say "If we help one person keep going, who then ministers to 20, 50, or 100 people we have effectively ministered to the others."  Kenn graduated to heaven on 12th February 2010 and will be missed and fondly remembered.
