Easter Camp Speakers
PAVEL GOIA
Big Tent (Everyone)
Pavel Goia is returning to WA after his awesome 2019 Prayer Summit. We are looking forward to what he has to teach us at the Big Tent.
Pavel knew at young age that God had called him to ministry. Being born and raised in communist Romania didn’t make following that calling an easy task. After short drifting during his teenage years, his life took a proverbial turn and he promised to serve God and fulfil his original calling. His promise was tested almost immediately. The events that ensued are chronicled by the book One Miracle After Another: The Pavel Goia Story by Gregg Budd.
Pavel has pursued careers in construction engineering, private business, law, communication, agriculture and theology, then finally settled into his calling as a minister. Today he is the Editor for Ministry Magazine at the General Conference, and Associate Director for Ministerial.
His life continues to be one miracle after another. Be filled with wonder at God’s love in action as Pavel shares miraculous stories of answered prayers. Learn to commune with God and know His real and constant presence in your life. Explore the depth of powerful, real prayer. Discover how to understand God’s will, how to experience revival, and how to be more efficient in serving Him.
Experience for yourself the transforming power of a walk with God.
