Within the year 1993, after accepting the call, Prophetess Babb began ministering officially as a minister; the telephone became an instrument of prayer and healing. 

Gatherings in homes of women became a regular opportunity to reach any who desired to hear the word and receive the Holy Spirit. Each person had an opportunity to praise the Lord and commune with one another. These gatherings became more frequent, as the need was required and the numbers increased.

In March of 1995, Prophetess Babb began the process of Incorporation, opened a checking account, and a business phone line for “HOLY SPIRIT MINISTRIES”.

The prayer line was an effective tool for the Holy Spirit, as many called freely for a name was not required. People called from around the United States, the word was passed by mouth to friends, to relatives and to anyone who would listen!

Pastor Babb received a vision as to how the ministry would function, what the ministry would do for the community including internationally, and that the Holy Spirit would never be excluded in the worship services within the ministry of Jesus the Christ.

The Lord made it apparently clear in 2000, that it was time to go to the next step, which was to enter into a building. June 9, 2001, at the Holiday Inn on Music Row, the first service was held at 11:30 am. The Lord blessed with a melting pot of worshipers. There was great praise and exaltation!

The next location was the Best Western near the Music Row community, which lasted for the next year; after that, the ministry was moved to an office building on West Trinity Lane. As we ministered, we began to offer more to the community, Bible Study (Fat Tuesday), Word or View (warfare and spiritual book review/discussion), Foot Washing, Counseling, Healing Services, Summer enrichment and regular Sabbath Services.

HOLY SPIRIT MINISTRIES received its non profit status on July 1, 2003.

As we have grown spiritually, the Lord has chosen our location according to the need of His people. Divine appointment brought Prophetess Babb to “Abiding Love Restoration Center”; the ministry would have a location conducive to our gifts, and to those who would seek a place of sanctuary.

June 9, 2006 was the official date for the anniversary of HOLY SPIRIT MINISTRIES, New World Baptist Trade Center.
