He is a dynamic teacher and looked to by many as a Pastor to Pastors. A strong and wise prophet to the Body of Christ as well, Kerry has been gifted by the Lord to minister and equip His people on multiple levels. Kerry is the Network Director for Antioch Oasis International, a network of churches and ministries. Author of several books, Kerry is a popular guest on notable television shows, and a sought after ministry in conferences and churches around the world. The burden and compassion of Kerry&#8217;s heart is to reach people who would not be helped by traditional forms of religion. Neh. 8:10 became the foundation of this vision. In order to reach these kinds of people who more than likely would not be comfortable in a formal Sunday morning format, they began Love-In-Deed based on I John 3:18, \u201cLet us not love in word or with tongue, but in Deed and Truth\u201d. Isa. 58 became a mandate of obedience. Since Love-In-Deed began over 15 years ago, they have fed and\/or clothed 45,000 families, approximately 180,000 people. From this outreach, many have been exposed to the seed of the Word of God, received salvation and acts of miraculous healing. Love-In-Deed has also provided training and ministry opportunities for those wanting to serve. Kerry and Diane are the parents of four grown children.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">Pastor Bob Phillips<\/span> is the Senior Pastor of the\u00a0<a title=\"Bob  Phillips-Encourager Church\" href=\"http:\/\/www.encouragerchurch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Encourager Church<\/a> of Houston, Texas. Encourager Church is a body of believers pursuing intimacy with Jesus and revival for the city and the nations. Bob travels both nationally and internationally with an intense burden to see both the lost and believers come into a dynamic and radically holy relationship with Jesus Christ. His ministry is dedicated to making the Word of God come alive in the hearts of his listeners through ministry in conferences and local churches. He says, &#8220;God is calling all of us to come up higher, above the things that pull us down, above the world, above its temptations, above ourselves to a first hand experience of His glory.&#8221;\u00a0 Bob believes that the godless age in which we all live and the supernatural nature of the Christian life demands a radical obedience to God&#8217;s Word and a heart burning with a passionate thirst for intimacy with God. If the coals are hot on the altar of the heart, God will blow upon them and produce the results. Bob and his lovely wife, Sherry, reside in Houston, Texas with their two children; Nicole and Andrew.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">Dr. Stan DeKoven<\/span> is the International President of Vision International University and the Vision Educational Network.\u00a0\u00a0 They presently serve more than 4,000 resource Centers in over 150 countries and over 100,000 students through its affiliated ministries.\u00a0 Stan has a diverse background in Education, Business, Military, Leadership and Counseling.\u00a0 He has pioneered two successful businesses while consulting with others nationally and internationally.\u00a0\u00a0Dr. DeKoven earned a Bachelors in Psychology from San Diego State University, a Masters in Counseling from Webster University, a Doctor of Ministry degree from Evangelical Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from the Professional School of Psychological Studies.\u00a0 He holds credentials in School Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, and clinical membership in many professional organizations.\u00a0 His specialty is in Leadership development, and assisting executives achieve their potential in the marketplace.\u00a0 He serves as an Executive Coaching Specialist for The Vision Group and is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California with over 30 years of professional services.\u00a0\u00a0He is Associate Pastor of Christian Life Center, Clinical Director of Restoration Ranch, a member of Who\u2019s Who California, and, among several other positions, Chairman of the\u00a0 International Association of Christian Counseling Professionals.\u00a0\u00a0Dr. DeKoven is the author of over 30 books and numerous study guides in areas of theology, practical ministry, counseling, leadership and personal growth and development.
