Our Apostolic Coverture
Ephesians 2:20
"And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the Cornerstone.”
Apostle Ray Coughran and Pastor Cheryl Coughran have been pouring into people in the Carolinas for nearly four decades with miracles, signs and wonders following the Word of God!
Apostle Ray Coughran is establishing an apostolic and prophetic platform in the nations, bringing a demonstration of the Holy Spirit and Power, “that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God!” Apostle Coughran & Pastor Coughran have traveled throughout the world, preaching the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. They are the founders of Coughran International Ministries, which provides coverture for pastors throughout the United States, Central and South America, the United Kingdom, Africa and Mexico. They have visited Columbia, South Carolina since the late 1980’s preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ; bringing unity among the races and teaching the WORD of FAITH! Pastor Cheryl Coughran is the great, great granddaughter of Pentecostal General, the late Mariah Woodworth-Etter! Pastor Cheryl’s ministry is one of fire and accuracy of the Word accompanied by a great healing anointing! Their home was in Dallas, Texas but they moved their headquarters to West Palm Beach, Florida in 2005 when they were led by God to establish a church there –
New Beginnings Glorious Church International!
Apostle Coughran is the spiritual authority and apostolic coverture for many churches in South Carolina and has launched the ministries of several men and women of God who continue to honor him for his integrity, character and great generosity. He has demonstrated the love of God to all who God has placed in his life. Apostle Ray is a successful businessman, philanthropist and is connected to some of the world’s most influential people; however, he is the most humble man one could ever meet.
Please help us welcome and honor this Mighty Man and Woman of God and receive this prophetic and apostolic Gift to the Body of Christ!
