SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER
APRIL 16, 2010
Our April speaker is Pastor Derek Ott. Pastor Derek is the Senior Pastor of Destiny Family Church in Channahon, Illinois. Although Destiny Family is a new church, Derek and his wife Veronika have been pastoring full time since 2002 and in ministry since 1992. He was raised in Homewood, a south suburb of Chicago.
Derek’s has a fresh and non-religious approach to scripture. When he preaches the Word, his primary focus is to compel people to have a soft heart and to form Christ in them. Hard hearts separate us from God and one another. Soft hearts allow us to fulfill our God-given destiny. Derek is a firm believer that humor is an anesthetic that Holy Spirit uses so that He might do surgery on the hearts of His people.
Derek has a real passion to see churches everywhere established accurately upon God’s word so that the presence and power of God will be poured out in unprecedented ways ultimately changing entire cities. God has graced Derek with a strong prophetic, teaching, and healing ministry. Pastor Derek carries a strong breakthrough anointing in the area of worship and commands a tremendous favor with His Presence. He is a prolific song writer and increasingly in high demand as a guest speaker and worship leader at various conferences and churches both locally, nationally, and even internationally. Pastor Derek also teaches S.O.P. (the School of the Prophets) as well as G.E.A.R., (God Encounter for Apostolic Reformation). These schools/seminars are designed to train and refresh pastors, leaders, and ministry teams. The S.O.P. and G.E.A.R. were inspired by the Permanent School of the Prophets founded by his spiritual father & friend, Dr. Jonathan David.
Our 3rd Friday Blowout Celebration & Regional Meeting is dedicated to exalting the name of Jesus through prayer and worship, impacting the region and the nation for transformation and revival. As we exalt the name of Jesus, God's blessings are being released into our neighborhoods and cities, government and businesses, schools and families. Bring your family (including children), neighbors and work associates to this all inclusive gathering.
