GLORY TO THE KING MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL Inc

BACKGROUND

Glory to the King Ministries International was founded in March 2005 by Rev. Lynn Fowler, with Associate Senior Minister Rev. Frances Marston and Board Member Rev. Margaret Kennedy. Between them, these three had more than 80 years of ministry experience at the time of founding this ministry.

	Rev. Lynn Fowler is the International Director of GTKMI. She began her preaching ministry in 1975, having been saved out of a background in the occult. She was first ordained in 1983, and over the years has worked in pioneer and itinerant ministries. She is called as an apostle and also operates strongly in the prophetic.
Rev. Fran Marston had been ministering in various capacities for almost 30 years when GTKMI began. She was ordained in 2001, and has a pastoral and prophetic ministry.
	Rev. Margaret (Peggy) Kennedy had been involved in ministry for around 20 years when GTKMI began. Ordained in 1999, she is an evangelist with strong prophetic giftings. She has also served God as a counsellor and has made several missionary trips to the Philippines, for terms ranging from a few weeks to 6 months.

Our central message is that Jesus Christ is not just Saviour, Healer and Helper, but King of kings and Lord of lords. We believe that the Gospel is not just about the salvation of individuals, as wonderful as that is, but about the re-establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth, and we are committed to seeing Jesus established as King and Lord over individual lives, over nations and over the whole earth. We are committed to calling the Church to come out of its self-centeredness and embrace the wider vision of the Kingdom of God.

We believe that it has always been God’s purpose that mankind should be like Him. He created us in His image; and having brought us back to Himself through the blood of Christ, He is working to restore His image in the individual Christian (Romans 8:29) and in the Church as a corporate body (Ephesians 4:13.) We understand this to mean that we are not only to be like Christ in love and compassion, but in righteousness, justice, authority and power. Very simply, when the world looks at the Church, it should see Christ.

We aim to spread this message through preaching and teaching, whether in person, through the printed word, or through the internet and other electronic media; through establishing local churches (Christian Communities); and through developing and encouraging other ministries. More details can be found in our Vision Mission Statement.

We are based in a tiny country town in Victoria, Australia, because this is the place where the Lord has called us to establish the home base of the ministry. We also minister further afield in Australia through seminars and courses, and Rev. Lynn Fowler is available to minister in other churches or at camps or conferences.

Our vision is local, national and international, and the international aspect of this is being fulfilled with a steadily growing network of ministers throughout Africa and Asia.
