We build more than a Church, we created a training center to effectively equip the Believer to discover their call and gifts. From authoring several books and ministering in different countries, the Holy Spirit has instructed me to EXPAND my apostolic calling to benefit you and your ministry!
My purpose in establishing The Gathering Ministerial Association (TGMA) is to support, energize and facilitate YOU for the call of God upon your life; to fulfill that calling! To summarize, to impact nations for the Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit!
