Rev. Carl (Gene)
Blakeman was born in southern Ohio, one of nine children. He moved with
this parents to Youngstown, OH when he was six. As a result of quitting
school in the 8th grade, Carl became a very shy and backward person with a
tremendous inferiority complex. At the age of 19 he married his wife Palma
and was blessed with six children.
For more than 16
years, Carl worked at Republic Steel in Youngstown as a millwright. At
times he thought about ending his life by jumping from a 150 foot high blast
furnace. But, at the age of 31, Jesus came into his life and set him free.
In 1969, God moved
Carl to General Motors where he worked as a millwright. During this time,
he traveled as a short-term missionary to countries in Central America and
ministered locally in churches, prisons, and nursing homes. God then
called him to full time ministry and at the age of 44 he received his high
school diploma and was then licensed to ministry in 1975. In 1978 he
became head pastor of an Ohio church where he Pastored for 10 years and
continued working at General Motors as millwright. For 12 years, Carl
hosted a radio program called, "The Victory in Jesus Broadcast," on WTOF at
98.1FM, Canton, OH.
Rev. Blakeman retired
from General Motors after 24 years service and is now working full time for the
Lord as Co-Host & General Manager of Crossing Paths T.V. Ministry in Hermitage,
