Pastor Graeme and Moma Sue Foster
Became Christians in 1992 and were involved in Church planting projects until 2007 when they planted the Apostolic Praise Centre in Fenton, Stoke on Trent and have been the Senior Pastors there ever since. They have travelled to 11 countries ministering and travelled throughout the UK hosting Prophetic Training events. They have two sons and have been married since 1978.
Below are some things we have been involved in.
The Church was planted in an old Apostolic Pentecostal building that had been closed for 7 years. The Congregation is a gathering of numerous nationalities, having 15 different nations at one time.
There are prayer meetings in the building and on Zoom every morning of the week from 9am until 10.30am and a busy street evangelism team.
We are strong on training up the next generation and host workshops on Prophetic gifts and on Evangelism.
These seminars are split into two sections, the Biblical teaching on each of the topics and the activation and practice of the Gifts.
The best way of learning is by doing, that is why these are called workshops.
We have been broadcasting all our meetings on Zoom since the lockdown caused by the Covid virus.
This has meant that many of our congregation have learnt how to manage the media equipment at the back of the Church.
They have learned how to run a Zoom meeting, how to manage the mixing desk and how to control the various web cameras we use in the meetings.
The Media team are also responsible for producing the Video and Audio recordings and hosting them on web sites and on You Tube.
We have a strong emphasis on training up the next generation and have numerous people who can convene a meeting, and just as many who can teach the meeting.
We have involved many of our congregation in the training workshops, both to teach and lead the activations used to develop the spiritual gifts.
The intention is to impart the gifts and the ability to teach and train these gifts to the leaders of each Church involved in the workshops.
Yes, we have several e-books and video training courses available, as well as MP3 audio recordings and PowerPoint presentations.
Yes, we can host these events live in your building, which is the best way, or we can connect using Zoom meetings, which we have done many times to train people in other countries.
We tend to host 2-hour workshops, to include comprehensive teaching and have enough time for the activation and practice of the gifts.
Each seminar focuses on a different gift, there are nine gifts of the spirit, and we also have seminars on Dreams and Visions, so the full course is twelve seminars.
We tend to host these on a Sunday night, to make them available to as many people as possible.
