Dear Gospel Crusade Ministers,
You are in my thoughts and prayers today! We are in Class 117 of the Institute of Ministry (IOM) and a most anointed Winter Season of guest ministry here at Christian Retreat.
March 20th – 7:00 PM is IOM Graduation, with guest speaker Bill Vanderbush.
Our next GCMA Gathering at Christian Retreat is the day after IOM Graduation:
Saturday, March 21st, 9:30 AM, Breakfast in the Dining Room
Please RSVP below
Come receive an impartation for your ministry. Our theme this year is Declare His Glory with the message that we are the demonstration of God’s Glory on the earth today! This is a critical time to understand our role in God’s plan to manifest the light of His presence and power in a dark world. Our quarterly ministerial meetings always bring inspiration and information to encourage your faith and leadership. We will be laying hands on those who desire Ordination. Please make plans to come and RSVP online in the form below.
Be prepared to give a report of what God is doing in your ministry. 2026 is a transitional year, so let’s expect and declare NEW OPPORTUNITIES for advancing the Kingdom!
We have a table for YOU to display any of your own new books, CDs, or resources.
Everyone is welcome! Bring guests that you’d like to introduce others to GCMA.
Remember, Gospel Crusade Ministerial Association is a network of ministers under the authority of Jesus Christ for Covering, Accountability, Resources, and Encouragement.
Love and Blessings,

Pastor Phil Derstine
President, GCMA
