Felicite Takouam - Founder
My name is Felicite Makuissu Takouam. I was born in Cameroon, am married to Jean Claude, and we have been blessed with four children. I spent my late teenage years in Belgium, where I earned a degree in Pharmacy and a Master’s degree in Toxicology from the University of Liège.
On January 12, 2006, after receiving a clear call to ministry from God Almighty, I sought to deepen my understanding of God’s Word and His ways. My quest led me to Moody Theological Seminary in Chicago, where I earned a Master’s degree in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship in 2021.
In 2015, after attending a women's conference in the United States, I received a divine message: "Blow the trumpet."However, it took many years before the Lord gave clear direction regarding this calling, which ultimately led to the birth of The Trumpet Blower Ministries.
The vision and mission of The Trumpet Blower Ministries is centered on the revival and flourishing of Christ’s Church through prayer, teaching and learning, discipleship, and service, so that people from all tribes, languages and nations may come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior—to the glory of God.
My Calling
The calling I received on January 12, 2006, was a vivid summons to repentance and consecration. Then, nearly ten years later, God called me to “Blow the Trumpet.”
Just as God had previously called me to repent, live by faith, and follow Him, He later called me to “Blow the Trumpet”—to summon His people, His Church, to repentance, to a life of prayer, and to faith in the one true and living God.
Hosea 8:1 – “Put the trumpet to your lips! An eagle is over the house of the Lord because the people have broken My covenant and rebelled against My law.”
Micah 3:8 – “But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin.”
In Scripture, the blowing of the trumpet is often a call to repentance—a summons for God’s people to gather, turn away from their own ways and idols, and return to the living God. It is a call to faith and renewal in the one true God.
In the hands of God’s servant, the trumpet is often a means to declare transgression to the people. For in His loving-kindness, God always calls people to repent and turn back to Him—the only source of true life. Our greatest problem is sin, which separates us from God. Therefore, we must repent, believe the gospel, and surrender to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Clarification Regarding the Calling of The Trumpet Blower Ministries
All four pillars of The Trumpet Blower Ministries (TTB Ministries) revolve around the act of blowing the trumpet—that is, calling the people of God to action. It is a wake-up call not to merely speak about these things, but to do them:
Pray Indeed – We are called not only to talk about prayer—but to actually pray in the Spirit and in truth. Fervently. Faithfully. Together and individually.
Teach/Learn Indeed – The trumpet blower says: “Come now, let’s stand together and feast on the Word of God. Let us grow in Christ and help one another mature.”
Discipleship Indeed – Though many talk about discipleship, the trumpet blower proclaims: “Come now, let’s live it! Let us be true disciples who make disciples—multiplying in faith and obedience.”
Serve Indeed – Scripture is clear about the need to care for the poor. The trumpet blower declares: “People of God, open your eyes and take action—serve the poor as the Lord leads you.” James 1-27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. Galatians 2-10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
These four pillars are not merely principles to adopt. They must become a way of life—especially for those who blow the trumpet. We are called to live them out daily and boldly call the Church to do the same.
TTB Ministries is blowing the trumpet, calling the Church to walk faithfully in the path of these four pillars—not just in words, but in deeds. This is a call to live the gospel, not simply speak about it.

Our team
When God grants a vision, He also provides for it, and one of the greatest provisions He gives is people. It is truly extraordinary and encouraging to witness how God works. One way to recognize that certain people are God’s provision for a vision is by the passion He instills in their hearts for it.
The vision God gave me for The Trumpet Blower Ministries was first shared with my dear sister in Christ and friend, Kim Tomsche. Without hesitation, Kim embraced the vision and joined The Trumpet Blower Ministries Prayer Team, rallying others to join as well, deeply moved by the mission.
Through Kim’s invitation, another sister in Christ, Denise McGraw, became part of the Prayer Team for its inaugural meeting on October 3, 2021. Around the same time, the Lord brought my friend and sister in Christ, Hortense Tatsianda, to mind. When I shared the vision with her, it was clear that God had already prepared her heart for this mission.
These beloved sisters have faithfully served the King of Glory alongside me in The Trumpet Blower Prayer Ministry since 2021. I praise and thank God for providing this steadfast ‘backbone’ while the structure of this ministry continues to grow and develop.
To one, God gives the vision; to others, He gives the heart for it. None of us is anything by ourselves, but it is God who causes everything to grow for His glory. We rejoice in this truth, and to Him alone be the glory.
As co-workers with God in His field, we rejoice greatly.
1 Corinthians 3:6-9
“…the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.”
Glory be to our great God and Father, forever and ever. Amen.

Ps. 22:11 "From birth I was cast on You; from my mother's womb, You have been my God."
By God's grace, this verse is true for me, Denise McGraw, although for many years I did not know the Lord had chosen me for His own from eternity past.
I marvel at the gifts of God's protection and providential care before I knew Him, as well as foundational biblical teaching from childhood, family who prayed for me, and sound instruction through Bible Study Fellowship that opened up God's Word to me in a way that allowed me to see and love Jesus.
Widowed for 10 years, I have two grown and married children and five grandchildren who are all a great joy to me.
In October 2021 I was invited to be a part of The Trumpet Blower prayer ministry, through which I met Felicite.
Currently, I continue involvement in Bible Study Fellowship and have many opportunities to minister to and disciple young women in my church, lead small group Bible studies with women of all ages, and be discipled in a small group through my church.
Kim Tomsche
After studying Spiritual Formation and Discipleship and graduating from Moody Theological Seminary, God sent me to a Walmart store in Minnesota to serve as a missionary; I have shared the good news of Jesus Christ to several Muslin young men and discipled other young coworkers since April 2020. In addition, I disciple a group of women/children in a local Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) class and have done so for the past few years as well as facilitating small group studies at my church.
Hortense Tatsianda
I live in Greenville, South Carolina. It has been a great honor to mentor/coach young ladies, share the gospel wherever God has placed me and be part of a few evangelism mission trips locally and internationally. I am also part of the prayer team at my church and have been able to join TTB prayer time also. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me, all glory to You!
