Anointed and Appointed

Our segment today is called “Anointed and Appointed” …and these words perfectly describe our featured guest, Pastor Kathy Hayes, who along with her husband, Dr. Mike Hayes, co-founded Covenant Church in Carrollton, TX and served as Senior Pastors for 40 years. They established the church in 1976 with 30 to 50 people. Over the years, the congregation has grown into an interracial/multi-cultural “mega-church” with four different campuses across the Dallas metroplex, and their ministry impacts people not only in their community, but also across the nation and around the world. But ministry is nothing new for Pastor Kathy…who developed a personal relationship with the Lord at a very early age. Not even the break-up of her parents’ marriage could thwart the plan God had for her life. Her anointing was evident beginning in her teen years, as she toured and ministered with her brother and sister in a trio called “The Singing Parker’s, garnering rave reviews in churches across the country…and even recording albums with the group. In the book of Matthew 22:14, Jesus said, “…many are called, but few are chosen.” Pastor Kathy was clearly “chosen” and “appointed” for kingdom purpose…whether working behind the scenes interceding for her husband and leaders, or standing on the front lines as the “Bride of Christ” with combat boots on pushing back the powers of darkness…she’s both feminine and fearless…a true prayer warrior and a “force to be reckoned with.” Listen as she shares the joys, rewards and breakthroughs as well as the challenges, heartache, and losses experienced both in ministry and in her personal life…while always trusting in God’s sovereignty and standing on Romans 8:31… “If God is for me, who can be against me?”
