phil & laina graf
Agency — Global Training Network
Location — Ventura County
Ministry — Justice & Discipleship
The Graf’s believe in viral, missional, church planting training of indigenous, majority world, pastors, church planters, and community leaders which will do the same growing into a movement.
They reach and disciple unchurched and de-churched families and singles living in the proximity of their home engaging them with the gospel, bringing them into a dynamic living relationship with Jesus, raising them up as disciples and servants of Christ, growing them into a passionately missional community, and then equipping them to reach out and impact the communities where they live.
They also equip indigenous leaders throughout the world to address issues of suffering within their cultures by bringing God’s mercy and justice to bear upon the most vulnerable and most oppressed.

Sam & Toni Gallucci
Agency — Embrace Ministries
Location — Ventura County
Ministry — Children and Immigrants
Embrace Ministries brings church to the migrant workers and their children in Ventura County and beyond, many of whom have never heard the Gospel! They meet in community rooms at the mobile home parks where the workers live or set up church outside if there are no facilities.
Sam’s wife Toni leads the mobile children’s program teaching the at-risk children about the love of Jesus while Sam ministers to their parents! They are now conducting church services and Bible studies in multiple locations. They have also launched a seminary to train those called to full time ministry in becoming campus pastors and leaders.
