Our Structure & DNA

God Encounters Ministries is a DBA of Encounters Network, a federally approved, tax-exempt religious organization based in TN and governed by a Board of Directors. Our aim is to walk in integrity and accountability in moral, financial and doctrinal issues. As a result we also periodically receive counsel from an international apostolic council.

James W. Goll is one of the primary apostolic leaders of Harvest International Ministries founded by Dr. Che Ahn of Pasadena, CA. He is one of the original instructors in the Wagner Leadership Institute and has his Doctorate in Practical Ministry from WLI. A firm believer in the local church, James is an active member of a church in Nashville, TN.

God Encounters Ministries DNA

With any effective business or ministry, “core values” shape the culture of the organization and how decisions are made. These 12 Key Phrases identify the core DNA of God Encounters Ministries. Without a vision the people perish. But with proper progressive revelatory vision from the Lord Himself, we can move mountains!

I hope that these 12 ingredients resound within you as they did in me when I shared them with our leadership team some time back. They exemplify who we are as a multi-faceted ministry.

12 Reformational Core Values

  1. Kingdom Advancement

  2. Prayer Assignments

  3. Presence Awareness

  4. Prophetic Activation

  5. Purity Aspirations

  6. Supernatural Anointing

  7. Compassion Acts

  8. Mission Ambassadors

  9. Diversity Advocates

  10. Relational Affinity

  11. Israel Alignment

  12. Apostolic Application

We are called to make a difference in Christ Jesus by joining the generations, genders, races and people of various economic strata. This modern “justice generation” has many Hope Ambassadors arising who will bring forth God’s revival, renewal, restoration and reformation in the earth, welcoming the Kingdom age and culminating in the return of Christ Himself! Now that is worth living for!

I was taught by my late uncle, who was in full-time ministry for over 60 years, “If you aim at nothing, you will surely hit it.” So let’s aim high together and see God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven for Jesus’ sake.

Remember, Together in Jesus, We Make a Great Team,

Dr. James W. Goll

Statement of Faith

God Encounters Ministries has adopted the National Association of Evangelicals Statement of Faith as its own:

  • We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God,

  • We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

  • We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

  • We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

  • We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

  • We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
