GFI alumni, Pete and Beth Higgs announce
the opening of their ministry, “Renovatus.” 
It is designed to help those struggling with
alcohol and drug addictions–and their
families–with Christ-centered counseling
and assistance. They now have 501c3 tax
exempt status for the ministry that is based
in east Tennessee. Their web site is
renovatusministry.com There is a huge need
for this and we pray for God’s blessing on the work and those who participate.
Ken and Sherry Callaway came to Grace Fellowship for training in 2012. They have now formed “Knowing This Ministries” in Gonzales, Texas based on Romans 6:6: “Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Christ…”
Our vision is to disciple, teach, coach, walk alongside people (spirit of Barnabas), to lead people to the only One that can “illuminate”(Eph 1:17-18) their minds, so they may “reckon/consider” (Rom 6:11; Col 2:6) the truth of Galatians 2:20 and Romans 6:6. THEN, “appropriate” this truth (John 15:4,5; Col. 1:27) so that God may be glorified! (Col. 3:17)
Our passion is centered on relationships. We have a passion to teach people who they really are! –what their “true identity” in Christ is! We are passionate to help missionaries and churches to be all Jesus wants them to be. We have a desire to watch in awe, as a person surrenders their heart to Christ and then be honored to be present as they learn the “Abundant Life” as Jesus taught us in John 10:10!

Ken and Sherry are seeing God lead struggling people out of the wilderness into the Promised Land of the Abiding Life. They are available locally to provide personal ministry and a one day seminar.
Deanna Bullock is a pastor’s wife, mom, and graduate of the GFI Counseling Institute.
One way she is using what she’s learned is through her blog: http://deannebullock.com/. She also has an online/telephone counseling ministry: “eCounsel Subscription Service – counseling you can receive at any time, in any place, for as long as you need it.” Her site is titled “18 Inches Down” to address the need for a head-to-heart process of appropriating Christ as Savior, Lord, and Life. God bless your ministry, Deanne!
