DeGraw Ministries was started by doing home meetings and conferences where we would usher in the manifest presence of God through worship, teaching and prayer. We enjoy preaching to the body of Christ and laying hands on people for personal ministry, prayer and healing. As we continued to minister in conferences and homes, the Lord started calling us to take on an additional direction of ministry. Ron and I both had a passion for teaching and even more so, for equipping His believers to do the very thing we were doing. We knew the more people we could teach the more ministries we could help establish for Kingdom building and outreach evangelism.
I was soon feeling an even stronger pull to teaching ministry and had kept it to myself when my friend, Deidre sent me the following prophetic letter in the mail one day. This letter was an affirmation of what I already knew, that God did indeed want us to have a strong teaching ministry.

Dear One,
You are on the right track. Yes. You are at the beginning of My riches in the spiritual kingdom for you. If you only knew the beauty before you. A ministry is coming, a monumental ministry, a holy ministry, a new kind of ministry.
I am drawing you into new pastures. Do not fear. It will be beautiful. Plunge into the unknown with Me. You are at swimming level now. Float with Me in wild abandonment. I am the waters holding you up. I am the waves pushing you on.
Rest on Me. You are in the deep. You have not been this way before. Do not give up. Push with Me. We will go together. It is ok. We are where we are supposed to be. I have more. Dive into My peace. That is where I want you to be. Do not look left or right. I hold you in My palm. Peace is yours.
Your Father
