\"\"<\/p>\n

Dr Eric J. Heath (PhD) with his wife Venetia, is the founding pastor couple of Galilee International Ministries <\/em><\/strong>in January 2009 and has served as President since then. With them, Dr Frank Kotze and Pastor Lorraine Kotze played a pivotal role in the establishment and growth of this ministry.\u00a0 Recently they registered Galilee Word Ministries<\/em><\/strong> (NPC) of which Binah Advanced Bible College<\/em><\/strong> is the training division.<\/p>\n

Trained as an Organizational Development Consultant, he previously worked in the Department of Post and Telecommunications, Santam Bank, and Telkom SA (Ltd).\u00a0 Through the years he studied and completed various Leadership and Management courses, as well as a 3-year Bible College Degree. This background in facilitation and management processes supports him well in his endeavour to bring the message of hope in a new and unconventional manner to a variety of audiences. He also specializes in leadership training and the development of new pastors.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0established a small congregation (End Time Pentecostal Ministries) in Danville (Pretoria) in October 1997 and served there for 14 years. This area is well-known for its poor community and being their first congregation, it posed a lot of challenges and learning lessons. However, through faith, they ministered to this congregation and the Lord Jesus supported them each step of the way with miracle upon miracle.<\/p>\n

During their praise and worship services, the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit was ushered in many times.\u00a0 But one night in 1999, they experienced such a powerful move and presence of the Holy Spirit during the praise and worship, that it left them all on the ground for at least 45 minutes of repenting and praising God. Mostly repenting<\/strong> due to the utmost holy presence of God which changed many lives.<\/p>\n

Past Eric continued\u00a0his studies and completed his Doctorate in Theology<\/em><\/strong> (D.Th – 2012)<\/em><\/strong> through Therapon University with a dissertation on:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
