Report from our KMI conference 

 

We (Covenant Life) are members of a spiritual family of leaders and congregations worldwide called Kingdom Ministries International.    

  

This week Steven White and Pastor Dwight attended out annual gathering with the theme of Koinonia: that we would hear with new ears and connect with new hearts to God and one another, and the fellowship of sharing life would be for His purpose, not just about us. We want to reflect God's likeness of covenant and community to the world, especially now so that in the continued shaking of all things, people will know God is present and powerful in his people, and they can come and become united with Christ and experience his love and life in spiritual family.

This year was our largest and most inspiring time yet as we heard testimonies and met leaders and pastors from the nations: a pastor from India who oversees 500 churches; one from France who is responsible for nearly fifty churches and ministries in six nations; our host this year Pastor Randy Howard brought pastors from Central America that he leads representing hundreds of churches there and in Africa.

A highlight was hearing our founder Dennis Peacocke speak, having just recovered enough from his life-threatening illness, then cancer on his vocal chords and just resuming ministry. His book on economic principles we need to know now is  at the publishers, and he spoke with prophetic clarity about the current world conditions.

Of course we bring greetings from pastors and leaders who have ministered here and also have sent us Masters Commission students or received ministry from us, like David Shay. David and Emily are going to have a baby — due on the exact anniversary of the fire that destroyed all their possessions. His report and words of thanks from others who have passed through times of suffering made us more aware and appreciative of the Koinonia (covenant community and love) we share in KMI.

    He has given marvelous comrades to me-
the faithful who dwell in the land.…
my inheritance is delightful to me.
