The life of a servant of the living God is never easy. This proved to be true for Augustina Frazier. Although her life was “no crystal “stairs,” she forged” on to make a better life for herself and her loved ones.
Born in the little town of Erie, Pennsylvania, Augustina Frazier was one of thirteen siblings (one deceased), reared by Edward L. Gibbs and Reaver L. White. Augustina attended public schools in Erie, Pennsylvania, until the 10th grade and completed her high school education in Detroit, Michigan. Her life changed dramatically when her parents separated after being together for ten years. She longed for her father. She was only five then and had to help raise six younger siblings. Many of her older brothers and sisters left the home to pursue their own lives and live with different relatives.
At the young age of thirteen, the Lord began to sow seeds of ministry in Augustina’s thought there was so much abuse, pain, and poverty in her life. To aid her in managing such a difficult life, she participated in track and field programs at the Booker T. Washington Center and other community programs, beginning at seven. Augustina ran in the Junior Olympics several times, winning many trophies and medals. God had provided a way for escape.
At the age of thirteen, Augustina was put out of the house on the streets because she refused to be sexually abused again, which brought on more obstacles and setbacks in her life that took a toll on her young spirit to the point that she turned to friends and organizations for help. Ironically, becoming homeless was one of her greatest fears since she grew up around difficulties, BUT GOD. On her eighteenth birthday, a pivotal moment changed her life. After a night of binge drinking and using marijuana, she found herself lying in the middle of the street, unaware of where she was or how she got there. The next day, a young man (Michael Fisher), who had been watching her from afar, witnessed to her, and she received Jesus Christ that following Sunday. In May 1984, Augustina was baptized in Jesus’ name and filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost in December 1984 at Christ Temple Church. She heard the call of the Lord in 1990 but did not come forward until 1998, acknowledging the call into office as a prophetess but being gifted in pastoral teaching and as an evangelist. In 1999, God gave Augustina a vision. The vision was about a “must need (John 4: 4, 34)” crusade. Jesus Christ saw a “must need” when the Holy Spirit led him to see about a woman in Samaria (John 4: 4, 34). Later on, she was ordained into the ministry on August 5, 2000.
Her accomplishments in higher education began in 1996, with a master’s degree in Christian Ministry in Spiritual Formation and a minor in Leadership Management from Ashland Theological Seminary in 2007. In addition, she received her bachelor’s degree in self-directed Management from Davenport University in 2001. She is also a certified Professional Chaplain who completed her two-year internship/residency CPE training at Sinai-Grace Hospital and Children’s Hospital. Augustina hosted her LIVE radio broadcast, “Ministry for (4) the Soul,” on WLQV Faith Talk at 1500am on Sundays. Augustina also hosted crusade services annually called “It is a Breakthrough” from 2010 “to 2017.

Director of Community Development Programs; Chairperson of Women’s Day, Accreditation Chaplain Pastoral Education (ACPE) Resident Chaplain, ACPE Intern Chaplain; Scott’s Correctional Facility Mentorship; Scott’s Correctional Facility Mother’s Reconcile Back to their Children, Detroit Rescue Mission Mentor Program for Girls from 9-18; Harbor Lights, Spread the Love to Families Mission, and The Skillman Foundation Youth Programs. Augustina has also been an anointed speaker for various women’s events, other conferences, prayer breakfasts, revivals, deliverance, and healing services, and for other speaking events and has held various prayer meetings, support groups, educational programs, counseling forums, and other programs.
Augustina completed her PhD in Organizational Psychology from Walden University. Her manuscript can be found on Google Scholar, ProQuest, and all search engines. Augustina is an adjunct faculty at Colorado Christian University. Augustina also worked as a Supervisor Chaplain for the healthcare industry for over 23 years, managed two spiritual care services for a community hospital in Colorado, and developed A.
