The mild-mannered host turned into a di erent man. "Is that all you can believe for? That's all you can believe the Creator of the universe to do? No, no, no! You're going to say 1 billion!" "Afterward, I was shaking and trembling," Venessa remembers. "When he asked me on the air, I shouted, 'A billion!' "Later, God let me know that the number of farms wasn't as important as the number of people fed." Today, Venessa's sons, Jonathan and Joshua, are 30 and 31. Over the past 30 years, Venessa has ministered extensively in 33 nations. She has been the USA Chancellor for Kingdom Covenant Leadership Institute led by Dr. Pat Francis in Ontario, Canada. She is a registered mediator with the Georgia Supreme Courts, where she receives court-appointed cases to mediate for the county and state. She reaches thousands of people through her television program on Preach The Word Network. She has also completed a 50-state tour leading people groups into healing and reconciliation. Last year, Venessa was visiting at KCM and listening to Kenneth Copeland preach when she heard him say: "I'm going to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm going to preach that He saves, He heals, He baptizes with His Spirit and that He's coming again…. I'm going to preach it from the top of the world to the bottom and all the way around the middle. And I'm not going to compromise." "I knew right then that I would help with that vision," says Venessa. "Those words inspired me to believe God to feed a billion people, and that eventually Keturah Farms will not just be in Africa but in other locations around the world. Based on that, I wrote a new book and filmed a documentary, Keturah Farms: A Mission To Feed a Billion People. "I thank God for this ministry. For the faith they have taught around the world and for the vision to change the world. I will never stop studying faith. It takes great faith to reach a great harvest. And the world is ripe for harvest." Come Closer, Go Deeper! Jesus is inviting you to wrap your heart into His. This means no more wishing you knew Him better, or hoping to get closer.
