Though the typical and often appropriate response to this mandate, is to build a new local fellowship.  They did not choose this path.  Instead recognizing the leadership of the Holy Spirit they organized the ministry so as be effective by building within the framework of existing local churches.  They are members of Corpus Christi Christian Fellowship (CCCF) and their Pastor, Don Leavell is on the Shammah Prayer Ministries International (SPMI) Board of Overseers, which is a group of leaders whose function is to ensure righteousness in the leadership and government of the ministry.  The Pastor and Elders of (CCCF) have licensed William as a minister and both he and Pat are recognized caregivers among their congregation.

     William has been involved in full time ministry for some time and in September of 2003, after thirteen years with the organization, Patricia resigned her position with Palmer Drug Abuse Program to come alongside William in full-time ministry.  As you will find evidenced by other areas of this website, the ministry of SPMI is worked out in many ways in the kingdom.  We pray that here you will find something that will touch your heart and draw you into an even closer walk with Jesus.
