Our Vision

Abiding Life Ministries is a nonprofit organization existing solely for the building of God’s kingdom through preaching the gospel, healing the sick, casting out demons, and the writing and publishing of books and pamphlets.

Abiding Life Ministries was founded in 1978 by Bob McGhee, the late husband of Geri McGhee. It presently consists of a volunteer staff and secretary, and various churches and ministries who partner with Abiding Life to host seminars and conferences across the United States. Geri McGhee travels with her team and singly, teaching “Overcoming Life’s Obstacles Seminars,” in churches and conferences across the globe as God permits.

Abiding Life Ministries' vision is to be one of God’s instruments to heal, deliver, train, and disciple leaders through teaching principles of the “overcoming life”. It is our prayer that these disciples are equipped to carry out Christ’s ministry here on earth for the building up of the Body. Abiding Life also hosts monthly seminars in Tyler, Lindale, and Duncanville, Texas. Seminars are held quarterly in Austin and San Antonio, Texas. These Biblical based seminars are life-transforming events filled with God’s presence and power. God created each individual with a “divine purpose.” The goal of Abiding Life Ministries is to encourage other believers in their spiritual walk and help each person fulfill their God given destiny.

• Apostolic authority of Pastor Bob Phillips who is the Senior Pastor of the Encourager Church of Houston, Texas. Encourager Church is a body of believers pursuing intimacy with Jesus and revival for the city and the nations. Bob travels both nationally and internationally with an intense burden to see both the lost and believers come into a dynamic and radically holy relationship with Jesus Christ. His ministry is dedicated to making the Word of God come alive in the hearts of his listeners through ministry in conferences and local churches. He says, "God is calling all of us to come up higher, above the things that pull us down, above the world, above its temptations, above ourselves to a first hand experience of His glory." Bob believes that the godless age in which we all live and the supernatural nature of the Christian life demands a radical obedience to God's Word and a heart burning with a passionate thirst for intimacy with God. If the coals are hot on the altar of the heart, God will blow upon them and produce the results. Bob and his lovely wife, Sherry, reside in Houston, Texas with their two children; Nicole and Andrew.
