Brian is a native of Georgia. I grew up in The Pentecostal Church where at a young age I developed a deep love for God, Church and People. I have been blessed to serve in ministry for most of my life. I became a member of New Covenant Church of Atlanta in 2002. I have had the privilege of preaching at the Immersed Conferences many times. God has blessed me with a wonder husband. Carlos and I have made a commitment to serve God together. My statement of faith: We trust in and worship only one true living God, I proclaim that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news to all people. I believe Jesus was fully human and fully God. I believe Acts 2:38 is a foundational message to The New Testament church when Peter instructs the crowd at Pentecost to "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins," promising that they would then "receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" He adds, "For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. I believe the gift of speaking in tongues is the evidence of being filled with the Holy Ghost. I believe we should desire to live a holy life, I believe that the word of God Is true and we should apply the principals of the bible to our everyday lives. We must develop a deep loving relationship with our savior. I believe we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as we see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 and let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)Thank you Covenant Network for receiving me again as one of this year’s Immersed Conference speakers. I love and appreciate you all.

Some 10 years after coming out and leaving 30 years in ministry Mike would meet the man who he would marry and they began a search for an affirming, Spirit-filled church. In their journey they eventually found themselves at New Covenant Atlanta where Mike would receive confirmation of his call to return to ministry. Mike preached his first sermon at New Covenant Atlanta shortly after that and would be ordained an apostle later that same year at the next Immersed Conference. After ordination Mike and his spouse Dan, who was ordained a five-fold teacher in 2025, spent the next 11+ years traveling to most of the network churches preaching and teaching. He supports a number of the network pastors and spends much of his week in conversation with them. Mike has also developed a three year curriculum for leadership development and has conducted this with several of the network churches. The two have a shared vision of a retreat and teaching center that will serve the network and the LGBTQIA+ community. He and Dan look forward to many years to come in serving the kingdom and LGBTQIA revival.

Prophetic dance minister, leader, instructor and mentor over 25 years. A graduate of Eagles International Training Institute, an accredited school of the arts in courses of Dance, Pageantry, School of Prophecy.
In 2021 through the prophetic voice of the Lord, AbunDanz N Grace was established; a creative worship tools and dance/movement foundational training for ministry of the arts. The Creator has created His image in me, hallelujah! Presently a member of New Covenant Church NOLA with Apostle Shelly Planellas & Prophetic Pastor Tanzanika as overseers and covering.
It is my goal to serve as a biblical visual demonstrator to the sights of the Father’s heart and Word through movement. This is a time where the dance and movement ministers are called to arise higher in preparation for the church becoming the “Dancing Bride” (Revelations 19:7) as we wait for the return of our King.

We are YHWH’s servants sent as the extension of Jesus to set the captives free, to be healed, saved and delivered. I pray that the Lord would use the dance/movement/flag bearing ministries that are within to speak prophetically through us as we declare praise, worship and humble adoration to the King of kings and Lord of lords.

Eric Hull was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, where he first heard the Gospel preached at the Methodist Church he grew up in. Although he believed in God, it wasn’t until a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ in 1987 that he came to know Him and the power of His resurrection. Being delivered from depression and hopelessness, he now exhorts believers to live a life of love, joy, and peace that is available to them in Christ. He has answered the call to prepare the way of the Lord in this generation through a ministry of prayer, preaching, and teaching specifically focused on New Covenant truth. In 2008, Eric became the senior pastor of Gathering Place Worship Center in Austin, TX, where he served until 2019. Since then, he has planted New Covenant Church of Austin as part of the Apostolic Community of Covenant Network. Each year the church hosts a prayer conference where every believer is encouraged to embrace that they are part of a royal priesthood, a holy nation called to watch and pray. Pastor Eric is married to Keith Swink, his partner of 18 years. Together they have three boys, Mason, Tommy, and Joshua who have brought so much happiness to their lives.
