Pastor Eddie will be ministering in South Korea for nine days preaching and teaching on the Ministering in Kingdom Power and Authority. He will be ministering to Leaders and students who are very hungry to know more about the Holy Spirit, His gifts, and power. Please pray that Pastor Eddie will hear clearly as he has the opportunity to minister prophetically to each person in attendance at the Spiritual Coaching Schools in which he will be ministering.There will be an opportunity to sow into this trip this coming Sunday at GH.

Also we are excited about Blake Kasmeir going to Vietnam and James Nesbit ministering in Israel in the month of March. We will be praying for them in our services and GH will also sow into these trips as well through your regular giving. In addition, we will also be sowing in the Ricketts ministry in Thailand as they reach the children who are suffering due to human trafficking. We are grateful to be able to sow into other ministries on a regular basis as well. God blesses the people who bless missions!
