Lois tauchers book called together, produced by shekinah glory ministries, continues to enjoy wide-ranging appeal. The book has been very well received in the united states and in other parts of the world, as numerous churches and bible schools that have adopted the book as part of their membership programs and/or bible school curriculum. This year, we continue to receive reports of it being used by local churches and bible schools around the world. The book entitled, called together is now available by kindle and through online commerce.it has also been translated into the french language and the next step for distribution is still being worked out. Another one of shekinah glorys primary focus is to help inspire and aid in the personal spiritual development of christian disciples and leaders. Their message of commitment to god and to his word is strong and unwavering and has proven to inspire faith in the lives of people attending their meetings. Shekinah glory has also mantained its ties and commitment to young bible school students. There is a consistent stream of students in the tulsa area that have a desire to learn of ministry outside the classroom, and with 48 years of ministry experience, we are committed to helping these students experience a wide range of ministry situations. Not only performing simple tasks in our office, but these students also attend and take part in local shekinah glory meetings, and receive hands-on experience that will prove to be invaluable as they graduate and enter into ministry for themselves. We have heard many reports from students who have graduated from bible school who feel that their experience with shekinah glory ministries was a large and very important part of the training they received while in tulsa. Shekinah glory plans to continue to bring encouragement and spiritual help to churches and congregations wherever and whenever they are invited to minister. They also have served as a guest instructor at rhema bible college over the past few years at the request of their pastor or other rhema instructors, teaching at least two classes each year as they are invited, as well as ministry at several leadership meetings throughout the country. They currently have invitations to minister in churches all across the us and overseas. They are currently scheduling for ministry throughout 2026 and beyond.
