1. APOSTLE JIM HODGES
Apostolic Team Leader & President of FMCI (www.fmci.org)
Jim is the founder of the Federation of Ministers and Churches International, a relational, apostolic network of ministers, apostolic teams and local churches across the nation. Having ministered in over 40 nations, Apostle Hodges serves the Body of Christ internationally as a teaching apostle with a passion to see the Body of Christ fully established.
Jim has tremendous revelation of how the apostolic expression of Christ is being poured out on the Church, and how the apostolic gift functions both translocally and within the local assembly. He is a graduate of Wheaton College and Central Baptist Theological Seminary, and he served as Bible instructor and missions director for 10 years at Christ For The Nations Institute in Dallas, TX. Jim founded and pastored two churches. He and his wife Jean now reside in the Dallas area. Jim has pastored four churches throughout his ministry.
2. DR. DON CRUM * LEADERSHIP INTERNATIONAL
Dr. Don Crum entered the ministry in 1972 at the age of seventeen and became the City of Dallas, Texas’ youngest hospital chaplain. Oak Cliff Community Hospital was the training ground where God taught Don the importance of child-like faith, a compassion for people and obedience to God’s Word. It was a time when God began to use Don with the gift of healing. So many patients were miraculously healed in those days that three doctors filed a formal complaint with the hospital administrator insisting that Don stop praying for their patients. These doctors were actually losing money as they had no choice but to discharge the patients God had healed who no longer needed medical treatment or surgery. The hospital administrator, who was a Christian, encouraged Don to keep praying for the sick no matter how much money the hospital lost as a result.
Don served as a pastor in the United States for eleven years until he and his wife, Cheri, along with their two children, Ben and Julie, left America in 1988 to become missionaries in Nigeria, West Africa. Serving for seven years in some of the most primitive and dangerous jungles of Sub-Saharan Africa, known as the “White Man’s Grave”, Don and Cheri were used by God to establish dozens of churches, mostly among tribes never before reached with the gospel. In addition to churches, Bible schools and hospitals have been built in areas of great need. Don and Cheri continue to have a powerful ongoing ministry in Africa where they see many miracles take place, including the raising of the dead. Today, Cheri serves as a senior chaplain for the Smith County Texas Juvenile Detention Center.
Don currently serves as the president and founder of Leadership International, an organization designed to develop and train leaders with emphasis on integrity, courage, power and vision in the fields of church, government, business and education. Don serves in an advisory and mentoring role to presidents of nations, other government officials and military commanders. God uses him significantly to impact nations like Nigeria, Benin, China, Ghana, Israel, Russia, Korea, Mexico, India, England, Malaysia, the Ukraine and the United States.
Don and Cheri maintain relationship with their home church, Kingdom Life Christian Center in Frisco, Texas, pastored by Pastor Larry Burden (214-618-1500). They are members of and have accountability with the Federation of Ministers and Churches International led by Rev. Jim Hodges (972-283-2262) Don holds a Doctorate of Divinity (Honoris Causa) from Florida Beacon Bible College (1989).
Dr. Crum will be teaching the subject: “Royal Dynasty”
What will characterize the year of 2012 for God’s people who are men and women on a mission and what will we need to understand in order to accomplish our tactical objectives? Normally, I’m not a big fan of trying to read spiritual significance into dates, especially dates
on our Roman-Greco calendar. However, this time around, I think there may be something important about the year 2012 and the number “12″. This year, God is going to take us where we’ve never been, to see what we’ve never seen, to do what we’ve never done. Here are some additional thoughts I have about this year.
- 2012 will be the year of the INCREASE OF GOD’S GOVERNMENT.
Isa 9:6-7 “For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
The government of the Kingdom of God increases as God’s sons and daughters who are His ambassadors in the earthly realm, understand and operate more in the implementation of God’s “Foreign Policies” in the earth. Therefore, His rule and reign extend and expand throughout the nations, pulling them into alignment. Matt 13:33 “Jesus also used this illustration: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every
part of the dough.” God’s Kingdom Government is permeating throughout the nations through you and me as His Kingdom Ambassadors.
(2) 2012 is the year of APOSTOLIC ADVANCEMENT. You’ve heard of the War of 1812? Well, the War of 2011 left a lot of casualties on the battlefield. Some by friendly fire. A lot of folks came out of the War of 2011 wounded and with a bad case of spiritual PTSD. But what we learned in the War of 2011 has “trained our hands for war and our fingers for battle” for the War of 2012. In the War of 2012, we will TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE ENEMY for a change. The pain of the past has now been transformed into POWER FOR THE PRESENT TO PREVAIL. This will be a year of great Apostolic Advancement on the international battlefield and we will no longer merely hold ground, but this year we will advance as an “army, terrible with banners”, to TAKE GROUND. There is a new grace from God to now “war better” and with better results than in previous years. In the Old Testament, kings did three things that WE ALSO will do now: 1) They identified and defeated the enemies of the nation; 2) They took the spoils of war; and 3) They ruled the affairs of the nation. We will do this in 2012 like never before.
(3) 2012 will be the year of the AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER. As we continue to shift from a “Congregational” to a “Congressional” way of thinking this year, we will be able to legislate and adjudicate more powerfully in prayer. We are authorized, officialised and deputized to “overturn and reverse lower court decisions” of decrees, curses and judgements issued by the lower courts of demonic forces and dark agendas.
I can now understand better why God seems to have so blessed and anointed the teaching series, THE ROYAL DYNASTY. We are learning to connect with our identity as who God says we are and also how to walk in that authority. This will result in the defeat of evil kings who will have our boot print upon their necks. Not by our might, or by our power, but by HIS SPIRIT and in the POWER OF HIS MIGHT. Get ready to face a more intense battle this year as the stakes are higher now, but prepare to realize many greater victories in the conflict. Buckle up. It is going to be a great year. Amen.
3. Simon Purvis
In his 163 page study manual “The Kingdom of God A Present Reality” Simon Purvis says:
In thirty years of studying and teaching the Word of God, I have never been as convinced and
convicted about a theological truth as I am about the Kingdom of God. It has become abundantly
clear to me that the Kingdom of God is the foundational structure for all of life. The individual,
the family, the civil government and the church are subordinate to and inseparably dependent
upon the Kingdom now.
God has chosen to express all righteous conduct on this earth through us, through His Kingdom.
When we choose to submit to Him as King and to His Kingdom, we will have the knowledge,
motivation and power to carry out His plan and purpose in our individual and corporate lives.
We will learn what abundant living really means.
4. Jim Becton
Jim ministers in conferences, seminars, local churches and abroad on subjects of the Kingdom
of God, the apostolic and prophetic. He relates to ministers and churches throughout the U.S.
and is a spiritual father to many.
