The FLAME

Pastor Eleanor is a native of San Antonio, Texas, but currently resides in Amarillo, Texas. She accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at the age of five and immediately answered the call to music ministry. At an early age, she began to lead and harmonize Christian Songs under the guidance of her mother, Vernie Mae Daniels Biser, who was a Music Instructor and Gospel Artist. Pastor Eleanor is married to Richard Murray, who is Bishop of New Light Ministries of Amarillo. She is also the mother of two lovely and talented daughters, Teresa, and Kimberly.

Healing, restoration, comfort, and exhortation are ministered to the Body of Christ through her anointed teaching and demonstration of Praise and Worship. With her dynamic methods and practical teaching, she ushers many into the Presence of God. Eleanor believes the time has come to release her gifts and be a lighthouse in a dark and stormy world, shining forth to the lost, hurt, wounded, and sick. Through her God-given gift of teaching the Word and her anointed voice in song, she can lead those in need to a place of refuge and safety, offering peace and stability to those who feel overwhelmed and unsettled. As she continues to seek God’s face, hear His voice, and abide under His covering, He will sing and minister through His vessel and be lifted so all will be drawn unto Him.
