Larry and Jo Ann as Pastors and Apostolic Leaders of TWWM, have a passion to see God’s Kingdom and will be done on earth just as it is in heaven. They have a great vision for the local church to be a place of building disciples and releasing believers to disciple the nations. Their lives and teaching emphasize the Word, prayer, and missions. We believe that because Jesus has overcome, that nothing is impossible to anyone who will put their trust in Him, and that God will confirm His Word with signs, wonders, and miracles.

THE CALL:
For many years, Rev. Jo Ann was used to develop Children’s Ministries in different churches. The Holy Spirit anointed her to train teachers, develop teaching materials and lead as a Children’s Pastor and to work as an evangelist in Kid’s Crusades. She also taught in the public school system and has taught for local community colleges in the Adult Education Program.
In 1994 during a time of group intercessory prayer for the world’s inner-cities, the Holy Spirit showed Rev. Jo Ann a vision of multitudes of people of every age, race and color. The pain in the people’s faces and voices was so overwhelming that Rev. Jo Ann cried out for God to help these people. He told her that He had already done all that He could do, and that He was waiting on her to take Jesus to the people. The Lord commissioned her and sent her to the nations.
Since that time, Larry and Jo Ann have devoted themselves to taking Jesus to every person regardless of their age, gender, race, nationality or denomination. The Word of God goes forth freely, fearlessly, and boldly and God confirms His Word with signs and wonders!
