TEAMING PASTORS AND INTERCESSORS

Pastors, leaders, and intercessors
God has been moving among the various churches and structures in our city and has been imparting a sense that we are in an opportune or seasonable time that has great advantages for the Kingdom of God. God has divinely arranged time for the economy of salvation! I know many of you like myself are hungry for a move of God that results in the lost coming to Christ. Many of you like myself dream of another great awakening but here in Clarksville.
I believe that if there is to be any move of God in our city we must begin to work together! Pastors, Leaders, and Intercessors must forgive one another and begin to cooperate for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It is with this in mind that we are hosting meetings in the attempt to build unity and teamwork among Pastors and Intercessors. If you are a prayer warrior, pastor, or leader you are invited to attend.

Pastor John Renken

Sarah Lowe
One of Sarah’s theme songs is “I was born to serve the Lord.” Raised in a pastor’s home, she has been “in church” since she was 3 days old. Needless to say, church was a priority in that family’s life. When she was only 3 years old, she knelt in a corner of the altar and wept her heart out for her sins. Even at such a young age, she knew she needed Jesus as her personal savior. Her relationship with Jesus is not only the most important relationship in her life but also the governing rule by which everything she says and does is measured.
She has been married to Rick for nearly 30 years and they have 4 adult children. Because her father was a church planter and her husband a pharmaceutical representative, Sarah is a “potted plant” who has learned to bloom where she’s planted. She has lived in 27 cities and 8 states. She has truly learned to be content in whatsoever state she finds herself. When asked, “Was your Dad in the service”, she says “yes, the service of the Lord.”
In 1989, as prayer chairman for a women’s organization, she was introduced to National Day of Prayer and has coordinated city events, county events and state events. She subscribes to the “it’s not about a day, it’s about a discipline” theory. When she moved from Cary, NC to Chicago, IL a pastor told her she was going to be a “Johnny Appleseed” for the prayer movement and to this day, she continues to work in the NDP ministry as the South Central National Area Leader. She describes herself as “a cheerleader” for the coordinators and her desire is to be a blessing and encouragement to all.
The Lord has been teaching Sarah submission through many situations. She is looking forward to sharing with you!

Lisa Gavron
Lisa Gavron serves as State Coordinator for Tennessee National Day of Prayer. She is also the Event Coordinator for the National Day of Prayer-Concert of Prayer at the Ryman Auditorium, and Intercessory Coordinator for Ray Hughes /Selah Ministries.
To honor the five-fold ministries, Lisa uses her gifts as teacher and speaker for educating, and cultivating intercessors within the body of Christ. Through the design of strategic corporate prayer the local church and the Holy Spirit becomes the principle agent that moves the intercessor from the “prayer closet” to the sanctuary. This ministry bridges multiracial and interdenominational lines bringing the unity of “One Voice” to the corporate body.
Lisa resides in Nashville Tn., where she is writing a teaching course and book regarding the position of prayer and it’s partnership in the Kingdom. She travels extensively through Tennessee, KY and Alabama as speaker, teacher and prophetic prayer minister that initiates the advancement of Gods Kingdom by healing the broken and misunderstood.
Serving for 3 years, Lisa was a trainer to Kentucky’s Youth Department in Evangelism known as K.E.Y Teams (Ky. Evangelistic Youth). She received her certification through Sharing Eternal Life Evangelism in Atlanta, Georgia and served eleven years in Kentucky State camping ministry as teacher, counselor and minister of music. In 1999, Lisa moved to Nashville Tn., and gave leadership to prayer and intercession in the Nashville area receiving specific training & certification through Sozo Ministry, Theophostic Prayer, Healing Rooms in Spokane, Washington, as well as Prayer & Prophetic Ministry, Powerhouse Ministries.
John Renken
Pastor John Renken is no stranger to “xtremes.” His passion for the martial arts pales next to his burning desire to reach the city of Clarksville for Jesus Christ. His extreme passion is matched by the darkness from which he came… As a teenager, he was frustrated with powerless churches since he wanted something real—something tangible. When he broke his arm during Kung Fu practice, he began his long journey into the occult by practicing witchcraft. That dark journey eventually took him deep into the grip of the satanic Temple of Set. Pastor Renken joined the Army in 1993, and later assigned to Fort Campbell where he served in C.Co 1/187th. There, he earned the Ranger Tab, Air Assault and Airborne wings. It was in 1994 that he was met his destiny and was miraculously saved by the power of the Holy Spirit. He finally experienced what he was so desperately searching for, true, genuine, living power. But it wasn’t his power, but the dynamic power of the living God. He was called into the ministry a year later. He left the Army in 1996 to pursue ministry at North Central University where he met his beautiful wife, Jennifer. After they married, they began their journey together in ministry with the Bloomington Assemblies of God as Nursing Home pastors. Later, Pastor Renken graduated with a Bachelor’s in Theology and Bible degree, while Jen finished her Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and Drama. Through it all, they knew there was only one place the Lord wanted them to go. They moved back to Fort Campbell to plant Xtreme Ministries in 2000. They work together not only in ministry, but also started Clarksville Mixed Martial Arts in 2001 where Pastor Renken offers training Army units in modern combatives. They have two sons and one daughter.
