"For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation
[of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,
By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light,
so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you,
and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),
And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing
greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength."
Ephesians 1:17-19
Vincent Anastasi is married to his wife and help-meet, Sarah, and is the proud father of four children. Although he works as a high school English teacher, his first passion is his family. After coming to Christ in April 1995, he went to the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry to spend focused time pursuing God. There he learned some of the most life-changing lessons in faith and Biblical community. Since returning to Grove City to work with Goshen Covenant Church, he has begun recording the songs God has been giving him to share with the body of Christ at large. Ultimately, his desire is to see Christ formed in others and to grow in true New Testament Church community.
Les Ramsey, Elder
Les Ramsey is married to deaconess Vicky and together they have two children. He was 16 years old when he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. While in the U.S. Army God ministered physical healing to Les's knees and gave him a heart for God's people. When he is not driving truck, he is attending to important spiritual and practical needs of our church family. Whether he is visiting someone in the hospital or mowing the church lawn, he diligently devotes his time and gifts to wherever he is needed. His compassion often stirs him to reach out to the unreachable. He is loyal and committed to the work of God's kingdom and has been part of Goshen from its very beginning.
Tom is married to the Intercessory Prayer Leader, Mary Anne. Together they have three adult children and five grand children (and still counting!). In the early 1970s, he had an encounter with the Holy Spirit that changed his life forever. Purposing to dedicate his life and his family to Christ, he has since spent his career as a light in the market place and currently works as a real estate agent. His tender heart stirs him to reach out to those in need through hospitality, leading him to visit the elderly on a semi-regular basis. His role in our body is diverse, as he oversees filling the practical needs of the people and our building as they arise. Tom has been part of our family from its beginnings in 1994, when we met weekly in his home.
