Many of those who were trained and rose up into the Prophetic and Apostolic Office moved into their own ministries in their respective countries. For a season, leaders from several countries looked to Les and Daphne Crause as spiritual parents, and many still do. But they were given the freedom to establish their own ministries without obligation to GBMI.
However, some continued to support and stand with us, and they became affiliate ministries to GBMI. Amongst these, from the USA, comes Mark Stalnaker, who became an active financial supporter of the work and was ready to help in any way he could. Although trained online, Mark came to visit us in South Africa, and while here, the Lord showed that he was ready to enter the Apostolic Office.
Mark has studied everything we teach, has received personal training and impartation from Les and Daphne, and he has a heart very much like ours. He has a desire to see believers come to a full understanding of the Grace of God. And he wants to be part of building the new church on the pattern that God has shown.
Therefore, the time has come for Global Business Ministries to become firmly established in the United States, and we are ready now to build our first live branch of this ministry in the USA. We know of no one more qualified to do this than Mark Stalnaker and we want to welcome him to the GBM Family of Ministries.
Mark currently lives in Florida, where he will be available to receive anyone visiting from around the country. He will begin developing this branch of GBM online and then move on to setting up live classes and fellowships as the work grows.
We ask you to give Mark all your support and help him take his place as a leader in the Kingdom of God. We know that he will become a strong influence not only in the USA but everywhere he goes in the future.
