Hello, my name is Ida M Austin a native Albanian, born to the late Reverend Jerry and Annie Carr. I was saved, sanctified, and Holy Ghost filled back in the ’50s under the ministry of Apostle Isaiah Revills. I traveled for years with “Isaiah Vision Ministry Tent Crusades.”
I went to Kenya, East Africa back in 1973, in the 80’s we went to the West Indies of Haiti crusading for Christ. During my early teenage years, God’s call to the evangelistic ministry was on my life. During the tent crusade ministry, our group was formed by the late Mr. Milton Green that was given the name, “The Holy Mighty Crusaders.” We started recording back in the ’60s and are still in force. After the tent crusade was over I continued to evangelize the four corners. During one of my revivals in the City of Titusville, Florida I met Calvin Austin, Who became my husband in June 1991. Together we have six sons and one daughter. I felt the Abrahamic call of God in 2002 to further the ministry into a community Faith-Based non-profit outreach, with a God-given name “Pot of Gold Outreach Ministry” located in Quitman, Georgia. We work in partnership with “World Vision Gift-In-Kind kids program, and Brooks County Family Connection where we give school supplies, food, toiletries, toys and clothing to those who are in need. I decided to expand my education for this God-given ministry. I went to Albany technical college for Custom Dressmaking and Alterations, Drapery and Slip covering, and received a certificate for Computer Fundamentals 1. I also received a certificate in “Basic Modeling” at “Millie Lewis Modeling School” in Albany, Georgia in 1991. I have received my Bachelors of Science Degree from Troy University in Columbus, Georgia on January 24, 2017.
Pastor Calvin Austin was born in Sylvester, Georgia, to the late Mrs. Viola Walker. He was reared in Titusville, Florida. God saved him at an early age and he felt his call to ministry but didn’t have the right directions at that time. He joined the Army back in the ’70s and made the military life his career. After coming back from Germany to the United States, He felt the call of God on his life again, and through the guidance of his aunt, who was also his pastor, accepted Christ through the gift of the Holy Ghost. He was a faithful member at the First Titusville Holiness Deliverance Church under the guidance of the late Pastor Roxie Williams. There he served faithfully as her aid and chauffeur. After moving back to Georgia, God called them into the ministry of outreach where he and his wife are both residing. He retired from the Army National Guard in 2009, as Staff Sergeant. He completed a course in “Fire science” at Albany Technical College and is now enrolled at Liberty University studying for his “Bachelor of Science Degree” in Ministry. He is married to Ida M. Austin who works together with him in ministry. Through this union together they have six sons and one daughter. Pastor Calvin and Apostle Ida are founders of “Pot of Gold Outreach Ministry Incorporation.” Their ministry motto is: ‘Pot of Gold is the place where everybody is somebody special.” Pastor Calvin has his own special motto: “It’s not what you say that defines you, but what you do.”
