March 24 – April 7
Our Freedom Team will be ministering at different locations – supporting our ministry partners in their local church ministry. Exact dates and locations are being determined.
This team is made up of 5 teachers/evangelists from Global Awakening. We have given ourselves to the ministry of God’s Word to break the power of sin and destroy the work of Satan in people’s lives because that is what God has done in our lives. We desire to set people free and release them to walk in the authority of their kingdom identity! Each person is gifted in various ways and anointed to teach these different topics:
- Hearing God’s Voice (1 Corinthians 12:8)
- Healing Ministry (Matthew 10:7-8)
- Prayer & Intercession (Philippians 4:6-9)
- Prophetic Ministry (1 Corinthians 14:1, 3, 24-25)
- Evangelism (Matthew 10:7)
- Emotional Healing (Psalm 147:3)
- Deliverance Ministry (Matthew 10:7-8)
- Words of Knowledge (1 Corinthians 12:8)
- Free from Trauma (Isaiah 61:1)
- Using the “5 Step Prayer Model”
Note from Team Leader, Tom Denlinger: It’s important to note that there are some brothers and sisters in Christ who do not believe these supernatural spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit and tools for ministry (listed above) are for today. I honor you as part of the Body of Christ, but I am asking you to make room for other parts of the Body of Christ who do. Many of us have already experienced His presence and power transforming the lives of people we have ministered to with these gifts. We take literally the words of Jesus to His disciples in the Great Commission:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 Amplified Bible
Our team’s desire is to teach what Jesus both modeled and taught us! Here is a little bit about us:
Tom Denlinger is the founder and Ministry Director of LightShine Alaska and his heart is to equip the Body of Christ with biblical knowledge that enables them to also demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:4) and do the “greater works” that Jesus Christ told us we should be doing (John 14:12) as we are making disciples of Him all over the world. Tom is in his second year at Global Awakening School of Ministry and is seeking the LORD how to strengthen brothers and sisters in Christ in local churches all over Alaska. He also has a passion for worship and seeing the LORD manifest His GLORY in His people. Tom and his wife, Ruth have been married for 41 years and they have three young adult children. Read more about Tom’s responsibilities in LightShine.
Simon Pickles is currently enrolled in Global Awakening School of Ministry second year with a passion to see the saints equipped and sent out. He is also a registered nurse running a 133 bed nursing home. He has been married to his lovely wife, Lisa for almost 36 years and she too is enrolled at Global taking the discipleship course. They have three children and five grandchildren. Simon enjoys sharing Jesus but on his downtime, loves sailing on his 34 foot sailboat.
Alicia Kehr has a passion for helping people walk in their Kingdom identity (Romans 8:14-17) – not only knowing Jesus Christ intimately, but walking in the calling He has for them. She is currently in her second year of study at the Global Awakening School of Ministry and after completing discipleship courses through Christian Life Assembly, she was inspired to pursue mission work. She is also bi-lingual in Spanish. Over the course of my career, she worked as a licensed hairdresser and funeral director after reaching retirement. Alli is a proud mother of two grown children—a 41-year-old son and a 38-year-old daughter.
Dave Adams is currently a Global Awakening School of Ministry graduate and currently a discipleship intern. He is a retired physician and professor of dermatology. His passion is not only for physical health but full wellness as God’s original design. This includes mental, emotional, sexual, relational and spiritual health. Dave is married to Steff for 49 years, is the father of 3 and grandfather of 9 living grandchildren. He has completed 57 marathons including 17 Boston Marathons during his lifetime.
Steff Adams shares that after receiving salvation as a teenager, in the last few years, she experienced a true freedom and Lordship that she didn’t know was available when she was younger. She started in Global Awakening School of Ministry out of obedience to the Lord and has seen her walk with the Lord grow exponentially. Her successes and failures now provide a testimony to encourage others. It is her desire for all to be in a deeper relationship with our Lord and enjoy hearing and discerning His voice and leadings for their lives. Steff lives in Hershey PA with her husband, Dave. They have 3 children and 9 living grandchildren.
We are currently talking with several pastors and church leaders and discussing how bringing this team could benefit your local church from March 24 – April 7.
Pastors and Church Leaders: Our desire is to come alongside you and strengthen your ministry with what you are already doing or introduce new tools that will help your people learn new things during these two weeks. All of us on this team can teach. This could look like our team simply helping with your prayer team after you teach and help call your people to activate these gifts (listed above). It could also look our team leading a question and answer forum on any of the topics listed above for your congregation. But ultimately, our desire is to help clarify what Jesus told us to do in order for your people to do the “greater works” of John 14:12. We are ready to teach principles that we have learned to make His people stronger in their own calling (Ephesians 2:10).
