Randy Clark School Conference News

Founder and President of Global Awakening, Randy’s journey of faith illustrates perfectly the saying “don’t despise small beginnings.” The son of an oil-field worker, Randy learned the importance of perseverance, and he continues to grow in his understanding of the ways God uses him to see more of His glory. He is best known for helping spark the move of God now affectionately labeled “the Toronto Blessing.”

With over 44 years of ministry experience, Randy’s heart resides in empowering others to come into their calling and imparting on them the gift of healing. His message is clear and simple, “God wants to use you.” Randy has an M.Div., as well as, a D.Min. degree, and his passion for education extends into his creation of the Randy Clark Scholars program at the United Theological Seminary and the Global Awakening Theological Seminary, created in conjunction with Family of Faith College.

As a small boy, Tom Jones attended a camp meeting service, where his grandfather lifted him up to see the Glory Cloud hovering over the crowds. In that moment, a passion to press into the heart of God and pursue revival was lit. As an adult, this passion was rekindled at John Wimber’s “Signs and Wonders” conference in the mid-1980’s and later by the Brownsville and Toronto Revivals. Tom met Randy Clark in 2000 and this was the beginning of a God-ordained friendship.

Tom began traveling with and for Randy in 2000, bringing his church members along to encounter the supernatural with them. In 2003, while traveling with Global Awakening, Tom had an encounter with the Holy Spirit that changed the course of his life forever. Randy regularly ministered in Tom’s church, declaring it 1 of 4 churches in the world that received and maintained a corporate healing anointing. Tom led his local church through renewal and revival, spiritually fathering and releasing many into new ministries and nations. Then in 2005, at the climax of his pastoral ministry, Tom laid everything down in obedience to God’s call. Randy heard of this decision and immediately invited Tom to come on staff at Global Awakening.

Bringing over 40 years of ministry experience as an educator, church planter, and pastor, Tom is now the Executive Vice President and CFO of Global Awakening, Dean of Global Awakening Theological Seminary (GATS), and an international speaker. In 2009, Tom received his Masters in Organizational Leadership from Regent University, and in 2013 he graduated from United Theological Seminary with his Doctor of Ministry.

Traveling extensively, Tom Jones carries a healing anointing, a passion for revival, and the Father’s love. Like his grandfather before him, he provokes people to lift up their eyes and encounter the presence of God, blessing and releasing them to passionately pursue their destiny.

Tom and his wife, Brenda, have been married for 52 years and have two married children and four grandchildren. Tom and Brenda currently live in Cleveland, TN.

Bill Johnson is the Senior Leader of Bethel Church in Redding, California.

Bill is a fifth-generation pastor with a rich heritage in the Holy Spirit. The present move of God has brought Bill into a deeper understanding of the phrase “on earth as it is in heaven.” Bill and the Bethel Church family have taken on this theme for life and ministry, where healing and miracles are normal. Bill teaches that we owe the world an encounter with God and a gospel without power is not the gospel Jesus preached. Bill is co-founder of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM).

Bill serves a growing number of churches partnered for revival. This apostolic network has crossed denominational lines in building relationships that enable church leaders to walk in both purity and power. Bill and his late wife, Beni, have three children and eleven grandchildren. Their three children and spouses are all involved in full-time ministry.
