Donovan & Erika Eades 

Donovan Eades has been involved in ministry since he was a child. He traveled with his family as they ministered for different events as early as he can remember, and began playing on the worship team at the age of 12.  After high school he joined Ron Luce and Teen Mania in Costa Rica for a summer, and has since been involved with the opening of several churches scattered throughout Virginia, serving as the worship pastor at each until the church was established, where as he was then sent on to help open or sustain other sister church bodies for Tree Of Life Ministries.  For the last several years he has been blessed to serve the Tree Of Life body as worship pastor, serving directly with it’s senior pastor, and the Appalachian conference’s assistant superintendent, Mike Dodson. Currently he, and his wife Erika are pastoring Life On The Edge at TOLM, a virtual church community, taking the gospel of Christ to the world through social networks and the world wide web.

Ted & Ellie Olko

My wife Ellie and I are from Springfield, Ma. We 

both moved to Lynhcburg so I could attend 

Liberty. We came to Tree of Life through our 

landlord and we are blessed to be apart of a 

great mnistry. My wife and I met, married, 

moved to Lynchburg all within less than 2 years, 

so it's exciting to see God's plan unfold in front of 

our eyes. Right away we felt at home when 

joining the EDGE and connecting with Donovan, 

Erika and all the groups members. My wife and I 

have a desire to see all people come to the 

saving grace of Jesus Christ and to live the 

abundant life He has promised us!
