Mark and Annette

With the aid of her husband Mark in the marketplace, Annette established Alabaster Box Ministries in 1999.  As the years passed, the ministry continued to develop and in the summer of 2004 it became apparent a new hour was upon them.  As transition occurred, the Lord showed them it was vital to change the name of the ministry as the identity of the past season did not describe the ministry of the new.  Subsequently, Alabaster Box Ministries transitioned into The Ministries of Hegai. 

In the fall of 2006 the Lord called Mark out of the marketplace so that he and Annette could serve the Lord side by side in full time ministry.  Along with their team they are devoting their lives to preparing the Bride of Christ and winning for the Lamb the reward for His suffering.     

Stephen

In 2003, through an incredible working of Holy Spirit, the Lord sovereignly joined Stephen Morgan to our team.  Stephen makes his home in London, England where he works for Prayer for the Nations under Rod & Julie Anderson.  Here, he serves as a prophetic intercessor and as a member of the worship team.  He also reproduces resource materials for PFN and helps with various administrative duties.

At the Spirit’s bidding, Stephen has been called to live a life of faith as one of those who truly ‘walks on water’. His simple life of obedience is producing incredible fruit for the Kingdom of God and pushing back darkness in ever increasing measure!

Stephen travels between London and the US working for PFN and ministering along side Mark and Annette.  He also serves as a fellow apothecary and will be in charge of our European office which will be opening in the spring of 2007.  He is beloved of the Lord and cherished by all who know him.  We are deeply honored to serve with him—arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart.

Kim

For as long as Kim can remember she grew up feeling very empty and alone. In her college years she lost all hope of a better future and tried to commit suicide. While being treated in a psychiatric hospital she found healing and the tools to cope with life’s problems. However, it was through certain staff members Jesus began to make Himself real to her. When Kim was 21 she accepted the Lord.

In 1992 Kim relocated to London, England to serve for 3 years in YWAM. During that time, she ministered to the youth of East London , and did various forms of evangelism. She preached, acted in drama, spoke to and prayed with people on the streets of Romania , Russia , Spain and the UK . Her training as an intercessor formally began at a School of Intercession , Worship & Spiritual Warfare in South Africa .

Kim returned to the US in 1995 and since that time she has work with intercession teams in France , the UK , and the US. She also served as an intercessor for Dove Christian Fellowship Church Planting School .  Her prophetic intercession has begun taking on new dimensions incorporating flags, dance and other prophetic expressions.

Kim is very precious to us and is a valuable part of our team as a minister of intercession.  She also flows freely and powerfully in her gift of counsel and inner healing causing many to breakthrough old obstacles which have hindered them from experiencing the love of their Bridegroom King.

As one who has laid down her life for her Lord, Kim has heard Him clearly calling her to become a part of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City.  She will be leaving in the fall of 2007 and  although we will miss her greatly, we fully bless and support her as she goes forth at His bidding.

Dr. Rick and Dr. Dottie

Dr. Rick Kurnow was raised in a Jewish home, went to Hebrew school and had his Bar Mitzvah when he was 13.  His family moved to Hawaii and at age 17 a Japanese boy pointed him to his Messiah—Yeshua.  Upon accepting Jesus, Rick’s life was radically changed and immediately he knew he was being called into ministry.

Dr. Dottie Kurnow searched through many religions and tried many ways to find happiness but never found satisfaction until Jesus revealed himself to her.  When she accepted Him into her heart, she was totally transformed and knew God had called her to the nations.  Immediately she began to prepare.

Over the last 30 years they have become laid down lovers of God enabling the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow in greater and greater measure. Rick and Dottie are being used mightily of God to impact many lives around the world.  We are absolutely delighted the Lord has called them to co-labor with us in the Esther Preparation Conferences.  They bring with them a rich, multifaceted anointing with which to prepare His Bride.

Heather

In the spring of 2004, Heather moved to the Harrisburg area to seek new employment as a registered nurse and to become involved with Life Center Ministries International.  While waiting for her new apartment to become available, she stayed in our home and it was then she literally became like a daughter to us.  Our hearts have been forever united in Him! 

Heather is a trained and anointed dancer whose desire is to release God's love, healing and deliverance through dance and intercession.  Through worshipping and dancing before her Beloved Saviour, heather was completely healed of depression which once sought to end her life.  Through this victory, she has now become a conduit of His love and healing for others.

Heather attended Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas and has a missionary's heart.  She has traveled through Europe and the Far East on mission trips using drama and dance to minister to thousands of people.  In 2004, she and Kim traveled to Zambia together and ministered along with Todd Bentley's team where they laid hands on the sick and saw them miraculously healed.

Heather serves as a minister of healing dance as she co-labors with us to prepare the Bride of Christ.  Many testimonies of physical and emotional healing are coming forth to bring glory and honor to our Bridegroom King.  It is nearly impossible to be around Heather and not smile as you sense and feel the love of God through her.  She is precious to all of us and we are blessed and honored God would have her serve as part of our team.
