| Rhoda Banks, LCSW Rhoda Banks (203) 790-1664 304 Federal Rd Ste 303 Brookfield, CT 06804 rhodabanks@sbcglobal.net I came to faith at age 24, after a series of prophetic dreams. After the dreams, my brother told me that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah, and I was able to make a connection, and accept Jesus as my Savior. This happened prior to my attending Graduate School at Columbia University. At school, I was taught to be value free and non-judgmental. However, after getting out of school and working as a Social Worker for the State of New York, I found that everyone put their own values on every issue depending on what side they were on. This led me to want the freedom to tell others about Jesus so they could be made whole like I was made whole. Ten years after my first job in 1998, I became a Christian Counselor in private practice. Since this time, God has opened many doors for me to teach and preach His word. I’ve spoken at several Women’s Conferences, and last year preached my first sermon at my home church. Recently, I’ve finished a two year course with the Christian Writers Guild. I hope to write an inspirational book in the near future. I have also signed on to counsel Soldiers returning from Iraq in my area. The Lord is expanding my territory and bringing prophetic revelation for the times ahead. |

 | InnerActs Phillip & Wendy Coy (203) 240-0835 PO Box 650 New Haven, CT 06535 pcoy@inneracts.org www.inneracts.org Wendy and Phil Coy are founders of InnerACTS which provides resources and training allowing God's emerging leaders to walk in Jesus' healing, creativity, community and mission. Hands-on, practical, and very real, Wendy and Phil have created in-depth discipleship and healing resources and train in prayer ministry, small groups, worship leading and interactive teaching. innerACTS was born in 1996 as the crossfire ministry of Rock the World Youth Mission Alliance, a youth ministry and leadership training ministry located in Ambridge, PA. As a result of seeing the massive increase in the brokenness of this and the next generation of youth, Rock The World recognized that healing must be integrated in youth ministry, and thus created the crossfire ministry arm of Rock the World to fill that need. Now as its own non-profit, innerACTS (formerly crossfire) is a para-church ministry focused on bringing culture current materials to healing ministry, and healing ministry to students and youth leaders. InnerACTS leads training seminars, conference workshops and retreats across the country, taking concepts from healing ministry and adapting them to creatively and powerfully communicate to a student and young adult audience. |

 | Angel & Jeannette Marty (646) 287-0761 197 Lee Street West Haven, CT 06516 themartys5@aol.com Jeannette Marty is credentialed with the Assemblies of God and ordained thru Apostolic Resource Center. Jeannette, her husband Angel, along with their three children Matthew, Sarah, and Josiah are part of Gods work with Restorers of Hope Ministries. The ministry of Restorers of Hope has zealously worked with the homeless population for over ten years through researching where the homeless, addicts, and prostitutes hide and then reaching out to them where they are. The homeless are extravagantly served through banquets set up in shelters, and boutiques set up for homeless women, in shelters or churches who open their doors. The women enjoy refreshments, music, a message and brand new clothes, jewelry, shoes, etc. A recently new outreach started with Coffeehouses set up in the shelters called M.A.P .which stands for music, art and poetry. The Homeless are given the opportunity to share their creative talents and find release through the expression of the arts. Through discipleship and Bible studies given at the shelters the homeless will be encouraged and prepared to live for God. It’s an awesome experience to see the power of God bring transformation to the hardest of individuals. Those cast away as a result of drug addiction and its wicked effects, are the ones God longs to restore back to their society and their destiny. What a privilege to participate in the ministry of Jesus and the heart of the Father to reach the poor. The poor are the treasures of His heart. The Marty’s have spent years equipping teams from all over and churches to participate in street/homeless outreach. Their burden is to continue to equip and challenge the body of Christ to hear the heartbeat of God and zealously pursue the poor and brokenhearted for God. They are also burdened to restore hope not just to the poor but, to the body of Christ to believe God for outrageously impossible things. To restore the ministry of Jesus outside of the church walls and in the streets. As they continue to journey through the path of complete brokenness and restoration they are hearing the heartbeat of God beating louder inside of them, to love like Him above all else, and to release hope wherever there is hopelessness. Restorers of Hope is looking for servants that hear the heart of God for the lost and are willing to run with the compassion of Christ. They are looking to work with churches throughout the city that are willing to co labor with them in restoring the poor. They strongly believe that when the two greatest commandments are fulfilled, the world will experience the greatest revival, a harvest of souls, and the fullness of God’s glory. |

 | Carol Schulze (203) 481-7036 P.O. Box 814 North Branford, CT 06471 c_schulze@comcast.net Carol Schulze was prophetically called to the ministry in 1994 in a southern church where she and her husband had become members a few months earlier. At the end of worship, the pastor, who walked in the office of prophet, called them forward to deliver the word of the Lord to them. The Lord informed her of the calling on her life and that “He would do mighty things through her that would be to the amazement of many”. She and her husband were immediately thereafter called to serve in that church as leaders until they returned to CT in 1998. In 2001, Carol was appointed to head the Healing Ministry for Cornerstone Church in CT. God continued to confirm His prophetic word to her that He would do things through her that would amaze many. As member of an intercessory prayer group, she began to minister healings and deliverances that were causing attention from many people. That same year, a world traveled 88 year old pastor/evangelist, Frank Marzullo of Florida, came to minister at her church. Never having met her nor knowing anything about her, he called her out and declared that he was passing his mantle for healing and deliverance to her, saying “from this night, you will move in the ministry of healing and deliverance”. She was slain in the Spirit as the man of God prophesied to her saying “I am sending you out all over. I will fill your mouth with My words and they will bring life to the hearers and will burn up the chaff. You will bring healing and deliverance to thousands and thousand will be saved” and an exhortation to remain obedient. The 88 year old pastor/evangelist died a few months after passing his mantle to her. From that day forward, God has been fulfilling His word to Carol that she would be His deliverer. Two years ago, Carol began to minister deliverance and inner healing through services conducted in her home. Word of the captives being set free has traveled causing those who are oppressed to travel from out of state to receive ministry. She also currently teaches the Freedom in Christ class for the Wagner Leadership Institute, in affiliation with Gateway Christian Fellowship, West Haven, CT where she attends church. Ordained as pastor under ARC (apostolic covering), Carol received endorsement as a deliverance minister by The International Society of Deliverance Ministers, headed by C. Peter Wagner and Doris Wagner and is a current member of same. |
