Biography of Susan Mulford:
Susan Mulford was born feet first,
ready to run her race from the womb, in Winchester, MA. Her
parents moved to Charlotte, NC when she was a baby. She
grew up there attending Pilgrim Congregational Church.
Later she attended Calvary Evangelical Church after college.
Born-Again
at age Eight
She received Jesus Christ as her
Lord and Savior when she was eight years old through her best
friend named Trace who was a Baptist. Traci told Susan
about how she got born again or decided to give her heart to
Jesus and so she was going to get water baptized. In her
ignorant pride, Susan thought that Traci was "behind
her" because Susan was water baptized as a baby or
sprinkled. Then she asked Traci about how you become
born-again. Traci said that you go down to the front
of the church and just pray a prayer. Susan's church was so
small, the pastor did not give altar calls. So that day in
1978 in the church parking lot, Susan prayed a prayer with Traci
and asked Jesus Christ to come into her heart to be her Lord and
Savior. On her birthday on November 13, 1993 Susan
was water baptized (fully submerged) at RHEMA Bible Church in
Tulsa, OK.
Her
Childhood - Spent with Scoliosis, Swimming, Studying & Set
Apart
Susan
was diagnosed with scoliosis when she was seven years old and so
she had to wear a back brace for ten years until she was 16 and
stopped growing. It was tough because many times she was
teased for wearing that back brace, but her mother, Joyce Mulford,
encouraged her and taught her to forgive and ignore the bullies.
She said: "Those bullies are the ones that are
insecure. They make themselves feel better about themselves
by picking on a beautiful girl like you. But you, Susan,
are going to be somebody." Susan says that her mom was
her cheerleader.
The doctors said that the
best thing for the back was swimming. So at age seven her
parents had her join the year-round swim teach called Mecklenburg
Aquatic Club. She grew to enjoy it, especially the out of town
swim meets. She swam on that team until she was 16.
During the summers she swam for her neighborhood club's swim team
called Huntingtowne Farms. When she was 15, she received
the Most Valuable Swimmer award. Her senior year in high school
she was co-captain of her high school's swim team.
Her first year after college she was a coach at Carmel Country
Club. The three following summers she was a lifeguard and
swim instructor at Huntingtowne Farms swim club. So Susan
spent her childhood swimming, studying, and sleeping. She
usually made straight A's in school. With her busy
schedule, the Lord kept her from sex, drugs and rock and roll,
etc. She was set apart in that back brace and kept holy
unto the Lord.
She Answered the Call of God - Her Senior
Year in College at UNC
Many
times, trials and hardships in people's lives cause them to seek
God. In Susan's case, it was her mother who was diagnosed
with bone cancer in 1990 during her sophomore year at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill that caused her to really seek
God. Her mother, Joyce Mulford, was like her best friend.
She was heavily involved in Student Government at
UNC. She was elected to Student Congress. She was
also Executive Director for the University of North Carolina
Association of Student Governments. Her junior year
she was President of the UNC Psychology Club. After her
mother was diagnosed with bone cancer, her senior year Susan
pioneered the club: Students for Cancer Awareness,
Research and Education (SCARE). She was
thinking about going to law school and also was thinking about
becoming a psychologist or
counselor. In March 1992, her senior year at a
Campus Crusade for Christ meeting, she heard a student preach
about how he was called to serve the Lord and was going to Russia
to become a missionary. The Lord touched her in a mighty
way lifting a huge weight from her shoulders and answered her
questions. God told her that she was called to serve the
Lord. So that day she answered the call of God to serve the
Lord for her life. After graduation, she wondered about what
divinity school she should go to as she took care of her mother who was
now bedridden with bone cancer back home in Charlotte, NC.
Seeking answers for her mother's healing, she listened
intently to a RHEMA grad named Kevin Chapman who told her all
about Kenneth Hagin, RHEMA Bible Training Center and divine
healing. They worked together at the Olive Garden.
Then on April 18, 1993 Susan went to Harvest Church in Albemarle,
NC where Kevin was a youth pastor. It was there that Susan
received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
She began praying in tongues on her way home in her
car. After graduating from UNC, she had been accepted
to Duke Divinity School and was planning on attending there, but
she could not get any scholarships or grants. Now that she
had her prayer language, she felt like she wanted to go to
RHEMA Bible Training Center that Kevin often talked about, but
that was 18 hours away by car in Tulsa, OK. Duke was so
only 3 hours away, so she could see her Mom every weekend, but it
would be so very expensive to go there. She was so perplexed as
to what to do.
She Heard the Audible Voice:
"Just Go to RHEMA"
Then God spoke to her audibly on June 5, 1993:
"Just go to RHEMA." So she obeyed the
voice of God, leaving her mother behind, and moved to
Tulsa, OK to begin going to RHEMA Bible Training Center in Sept
1993. In Sept. 1993 Rodney Howard-Browne came to
RHEMA Bible Church and ministered to the people a Holy
Ghost JOY-filled Revival.
While laughing on the floor, the Lord called Susan to
(short-term) missions. And the joy from those meetings
carried her through the grief of losing her mother just four
months later on Jan. 5, 1994. She does not understand why
her Mom died. But she decided to trust that loss into the
Lord's hands and go on and serve Him. She knows that
God is still the healer and she has experienced His healing
touch many times in her life and she has prayed for many people
who have been healed as well. So in this faithfulness to the
Lord, she has gotten the devil back many times for her
mother's death.
Since then, Susan has gone
on to serve the Lord and she has graduated from:
- B.A. from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

(double majored in
Psychology/Political Science)
