Seattle Area Ministry Overview:
GMI is headquarted near Seattle, WA. As a result, for over 25 years (1980-2007) that area has been a major target of our founder, Bev Klopp. Bev began by establishing a “Prayer Wall” around the Seattle area which included regional prayer training events, spiritual mapping research to discern spiritual strongholds, reconciliation meetings, prophetic intercession, prayer-walks and evangelism.
During these years, GMI has worked closely with local and regional Pastors, lead regional prayer meetings, and organized times of repentance/reconciliation between different nationalities regarding historical/generational sins committed against one another in the Seattle area. In addition, we have also trained and organized teams of “Gideon Warriors” who prayed and fasted for the State of Washington and conducted many on-site ministry outreaches.
International Graduate School of Ministry (IGSM)
We are very excited about our partnership with the International Graduate School of Ministry (IGSM) which has expanded our ability to provide ministry training and education. Currently, there are 207 students who are taking courses from IGSM in 23 different countries.
These countries include Canada, Denmark, France, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mauritius, South Africa, Sweden, United Arab Emirate, Oman, United Kingdom, India, Philippines, and Ghana.
Ministry Training Centers
In 1992, GMI established our first 24-hour House of Prayer & Evangelism (HOPE Center) in the Seattle area. Currently, we are working together with the International Graduate School of Ministry (IGSM) to establish Ministry Training Centers throughout the US and in various countries world-wide. Each Ministry Training Center would house both GMI and IGSM, as well as a 24-hour HOPE Center. We hope to establish our first Ministry Training Center in the Seattle area, which would serve as the model for additional centers world-wide. Together we are seeking to prepare teams and raise funds to accomplish this goal.
A Note to our Current and Potential Ministry Partners
We gratefully thank each one of you for the blessings extended to us throughout the year! The Lord has kept us strong through your prayers and tender loving care.
Your financial gifts and prayers have made deep spiritual inroads into the lives of young and old alike who now walk in new levels of faith and trust in their Lord.
As you know ministry today requires teams with multiple gifts and multiple talents, all working together to accomplish God’s purposes. None of us can or should operate alone. We feel blessed to have had so many people alongside of us over the years we have been ministering. Each one of you has played a major role in helping us in a variety of ways.
We are excited about all this year holds for us knowing our Lord is carefully directing our steps according to his timetable. While we certainly are not getting any younger, we have not lost any of our passion or zeal for serving the Lord throughout the world. We trust that we have many years of fruitful ministry ahead of us with our partners.
Each year we seek the Lord’s heart and direction for the year. For those of you who are interested, please set aside a day or more to pray and fast with us to cover your personal, future and family needs, and for us and our family.
