Sue’s life was radically transformed 35 years ago when she learned the God of the Bible is still living and active. His voice, compassionate instead of condemning, changed everything. Sue loves to teach and longs for every client to grasp the same paradigm-shifting truths. She has ministered for over 30 years, helping others walk in freedom, healing, and their true identity in Christ. She longs to see people fulfill the good and perfect works prepared for them. As Jesus begins to touch hidden or rejected parts of people’s lives, true, sustainable healing begins, and suddenly, their destinies are no longer denied. Watching this unfold is Sue’s favorite part of ministry. As a LENS Technician, she also enjoys helping others walk out freedom for the brain and body.

Gary is retired from years of bi-vocational work as an elementary teacher and later principal while being pastor of small rural community churches. His passion in life has been to introduce people to Jesus. He is a widower of 40 years of marriage and remarried 10 years ago. Together, Robin and he have 6 grown kids and 18 grandkids. With family being a high priority in life much time and attention is devoted to them. Presently, he serves as an elder of his church as well as a care team leader and inner healing ministry leader. Gary started his HeartSync journey eleven years ago. During that time the Lord blessed him personally with carrying out His promise of “healing my broken heart”. These experiences have led to a great personal understanding of who he is in Christ and who Christ is in him. In addition, He has allowed and assigned Gary the privilege and responsibility of sharing and leading others in their own personal encounters of Jesus’ healing. Working with people as they grow in their personal ‘Jesus experiences’ has been a great joy to Gary. Spending time together with Jesus and people in sessions is one of the strongest desires of his life. A phrase in a song of yesteryear about the work of God is “what He’s done for others He’ll do for you.” To modify this for me is “what He’s done for me He’ll do for others”.

Dianne Bennett is a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist through Natural Therapies Certification Board. She loves to minister through the Raindrop Technique at Gold Monarch. Her passion is to see others healed and walking in their Kingdom identity. While receiving her training in Raindrop Technique, Healing Oils of the Bible, and Emotional Release, she saw the common thread connecting every method of inner healing and physical healing and she learned about the power of essential oils to unlock cellular memory housing traumas and to help break negative emotional patterns and self-sabotaging thoughts. Raindrop is not only effective for relieving stress and uplifting the mood, but also restoring health and wellness and detoxing the body. Her passion for this ministry is to see every level of healing come, be it physical, emotional or spiritual. The most important thing about the healing that God does through Raindrop, is that it can help to bring the receiver into a deeper intimate relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Dianne loves to prayerfully partner with God in this process.

Paul loves to adorn the King with his worship, but also loves to unveil what God is saying about you.   One of his greatest joys is for each person to leave an Encounter with the Father full, fun and free.  He believes that where God is, healing is close at hand.  Deep healing from the Spirit of God falls during the worship encounters at Gold Monarch.    

Paul has led worship all over the world… from the Southern steps in Jerusalem, the streets of Galway, the mountains of Guatemala… to local Sunday mornings and National conferences and camps.  Having been a full-time worship leader for almost a decade, Paul currently works as a business consultant in the oilfield and helps lead a city-wide expression of worship, encounter and song writing in Abilene and beyond.    

Paul lives south of Abilene with the love of his life, Tai.  They have three incredible children and as a family they look to see the Kingdom of God manifest on the earth.

Christa Black Singh is a multi-platinum songwriter, speaker, and bestselling author who has impacted millions worldwide. She has toured with artists like Michael W. Smith and the Jonas Brothers and authored God Loves Ugly and Heart Made Whole. Her message was shaped through both platform success and personal collapse. After years in ministry, Christa was drawn into New Age spirituality and psychedelic practices in a search for healing—only to lose nearly everything. But Jesus radically pursued and restored her life. Living in Abilene, Texas with her children, she is remarried and continues to speak to both the Church and culture—bridging the gap between spiritual hunger and biblical truth, and equipping people to discern deception and walk in truth in a spiritually confused age.

Lillian and her husband have three sons, a daughter and six grandchildren. They live on the edge of Sweetwater, Texas. Lillian is a retired school teacher, now enjoying life as an associate pastor, pipeline patrol pilot, missionary, artist and entrepreneur. Her spare minutes are often spent in her back room studio, drawing in His Presence!

Lillian’s journey as an artist began ten years ago with a watercolor class. Doors opened for her spiritually and artistically as she began to probe into the prophetic art world. Now she finds herself in a love relationship with the Trinity, finding ways to connect and worship through her painting. No matter what she’s working on, Lillian is always seeking the Lord in it, through it, and as a part of it.  Her  finished work has opened many doors for testifying to the goodness of God. She continues to rely and trust God to teach her and show her things of the Spirit. Her hope is that with each painting, you are drawn into a time of connection with the Creator.

Nancy Capra is an artist and teacher. She did her undergraduate work at the University of Texas in Austin, where she met her husband, Jay. Together they raised three children, all delightful adults, now with added spouses and grandchildren. During Nancy’s life, there have been countless opportunities to walk through trauma and experience healing. She believes that trauma memories are sensory memories. Words can tell our stories, but art makes it possible to bear witness to them.

Nancy is a prophetic painter able to serve in others’ healing process. She is intrigued by the idea of color, light and movement, combined with the power and authority of God. As a HeartSync painter, she seeks God’s voice and wisdom to “see” what to create.  Her greatest desire is for people to be restored to their wholehearted self, so that they can bring their intellect, emotional life, dreams, intuitions, and deepest longings before God.

Cristal has been married 30 years to the love of her life and mother to two of the most beautiful girls. She loves to learn and encourage others. I have had a love for drawing and painting my entire life. Being able to paint AND encourage others is a dream come true! God is amazing and so are His children!
