About Rochelle

Rochelle L Lampkin is an evangelist, with a teacher’s gift and a midwife’s heart.

Rochelle has a passion to extensively study the Word of God. It is also her heart’s desire to see God’s people become Christ Jesus’ disciples, and discover their Kingdom purpose through the Word of God. Her targeted assignments are to help women realize and walk in their purpose, and help all people (young and seasoned) called by God to effectively fulfill their Kingdom assignments from God. She also mentors several people in ministry in multiple states.

Rochelle was born in Highland Park, Michigan and raised in Detroit, Michigan; the youngest child of a brick layer and pianist. She attended the Detroit Public School Systems. She later matriculated at the University of Detroit Mercy where she earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with an Accounting Major. She also earned a Master of Divinity Degree with a concentration in New Testament Studies at Ashland Theological Seminary.

Rochelle grew up in church, and began reading the Word of God at an early age with her great-grandfather. However, Rochelle did not decide to live for Jesus until she was 31 years old, had three children, and after multiple traumatic life experiences. At that time, Rochelle was re-baptized at a local church where she was a member. She later joined her current church of 28 years. Not long after she joined her current church, Rochelle acknowledged her call from God to serve Him as an evangelist missionary. She also began serving in the youth ministry, and teaching new members’ classes. Rochelle later began accompanying the outreach ministry to minister to women at local shelters, and assisting with District women’s work.

In 2000, Rochelle received an evangelist license. She was also appointed coordinator of one of her denomination’s jurisdictional Women’s Leadership Conferences. She started coordinating women’s retreats, writing workshop topics and facilitating women’s workshops. Rochelle also began speaking in local churches’ Women’s Day services. Those experiences ignited a powerful synergy between her passion for women’s breakthrough, her teaching ministry and writing. During this time, Rochelle was also inspired to further her education to learn more about God and His Word. In 2007, she returned to college to pursue a Master Degree in Divinity. In 2008, Rochelle was given an assignment by her Pastor to prepare six lessons, and she began teaching her local church’s ministerial staff.

In 2009, Rochelle had a brain aneurysm, and subsequently 4 brain surgeries. This caused her to not return to her job of 17 years in the health insurance industry, where she obtained her first leadership and training skills. During this time of continual physical therapy, Rochelle had an epiphany from God to write scattered thoughts about overcoming her feelings of being stripped, lost, and empty.

In 2012, after returning home from visiting loved ones in St. Louis, MO with her daughter, the Holy Spirit dropped ‘Springing Beyond These Walls’ into Rochelle’s spirit. During that trip, Rochelle sat at her cousin’s house with ladies from her cousin’s church, who were preparing for a Bible debate session. As Rochelle questioned the ladies about their answers to the debate’s questions, and challenged them to back up their conclusions with the Word of God, she saw their need to study and dig deeper into God’s Word. Through this joyous experience, she also saw their love for God and His Word.

The Holy Spirit also revealed to Rochelle of how ‘Springing Beyond These Walls’ has been shining through in her writings for the Women’s Leadership Conferences, sermons, speaking engagements, Bible Study lessons and personal journaling throughout the years.  Now that Rochelle has walked through the lost of her oldest child and only daughter to Sickle Cell Anemia, ‘Springing Beyond These Walls’ must happen.

Rochelle has written many articles for women in ministry, developed and taught an empowerment series to women in a shelter, trained ministry leaders, teachers, ministerial and evangelism teams, ghostwritten for workshop speakers, book authors, and foreword writers, and consulted preachers on homiletics. She wrote a tract, “Open the Door.”  for a community outreach kingdom building event, and shared lessons with multiple pastors for their ministry teams. In November 2018, she launched her website:  www.rochellellampkinministries.com. On July 8, 2021, she began teaching the “Walking Through the Word With Rochelle” Bible Study live on Social Media. Rochelle’s first book will be published First Qtr. 2023.

Rochelle has two adult sons, Justin and Melvin; (daughter, Tamika; deceased), son-in-law, James and grandsons, Jordan, Million and Jackson.
