2TIM42: Grace Covenant Church

Grace Covenant Church

Sereena and I are back in Los Angeles, having spent the weekend in Midland, Texas with Pastor Morris Brooks of Grace Covenant Church. I preached and Sereena sang on Sunday. GCC is a church plant which meets in a local Christian school. I met Morris at the Shepherds’ Conference in Los Angeles in March and discussed with him the ministry of The Shepherd’s Bible College. His interest in ministry training in New Zealand resulted in this visit. We are excited about the partnership that is being established between Grace Covenant Church and The Shepherd’s Bible College through The Master’s Academy International.
