Gary Oates
Gary Oates is the former Senior Pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Tallahassee, Florida. Over the past 30 years he and his wife, Kathi, have planted five churches.
On a trip to Brazil with Randy Clark in June 2002, Gary had a dramatic encounter with God that changed his life and ministry. He was caught up into the presence of the Lord and his eyes were opened to see the ministry of angels. He continues to see angels and their activities on a regular basis and has had additional heavenly experiences.
During his first “catching up”, while holding hands with Jesus, the palm of his left hand began to burn as he received impartation for an increased healing anointing. Since that time, he has seen a significant increase in healings and creative miracles such as the deaf hearing, the blind seeing, the lame walking, tumors disappearing, etc.
A focus of Gary’s ministry is to train and equip pastors and leaders to do the works of Jesus, and to hold mass power evangelism meetings with accompanying signs and wonders.
Another focus is on how to develop a deeper intimacy with Jesus Christ, how to experience the manifest presence of God, prayer for impartation to see in the spiritual realm, as well as healing for the whole person.
Kathi had similar experiences in having her eyes opened to see the ministry of angels. She has co-labored with Gary being involved in all aspects of church life and ministry. She is especially gifted with a powerful prophetic ministry, intercession, and inner healing. They work well together as a team since their giftings compliment each other.
He resigned as pastor in April 2003 to devote fulltime to itinerate ministry both nationally and internationally.
