David & Tami Gardner moved to Sandpoint 10 years ago to help establish the church here in Sandpoint. David is an ordained minister with International Apostolic Ministries. David & Tami have served faithfully as Associate Ministers of this ministry from its early days.

After serving in a small church in Jacksonville, Florida for a year, they felt God calling them to move to Sandpoint and help Pastor Ken in the work God started here. The word God gave them was Exodus 17:11-12:

"And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."

This has been their vision for 10 years now as they have served in whatever capacity was needed, from David running the sound, helping paint the church, and preaching, to Tami organizing the kitchen, singing on the worship team, and designing the web site. The vision stays the same: help bring revival to Sandpoint and above all, help hold up those hands.
