SENIOR LEADERSHIP
Pastor Reuben Jacob Kora is internationally recognized as a friend of God who ministers from the office of prophet. 2023 marks his 20-year milestone in faithfully serving the Lord through full-time ministry. He was first ordained as a 5-fold pastor in 2017, by his spiritual father of more than fourteen years —Rev. Thomas P. Thomas — senior pastor & apostle of Faith Family Church Network (India). Also affectionately known as Pastor Kabod, raised Reuben up to spiritual maturity through these years of daily life mentorship, ‘doing life together’ {rigorous & practical discipleship}, as Reuben faithfully followed and served his spiritual dad and his apostolic vision & mission of building multiple churches, as well as building & mobilizing ministry teams for strategic missions, through the years.
Reuben spent a pivotal 6-years laboring alongside a pioneering team to found a new house of 24/7 prayer & worship in the metropolitan city of Bangalore. During this period, he experienced dramatic encounters with Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and even short visitations to Heaven, as the beginnings of an outpouring of revival began to fall in supernatural signs, wonders, & miracles on this devoted community. It was during this time, Reuben also dynamically grew as a worshiper, while also pioneering creative use for livestream & utilizing his gifts with technology for the Kingdom. He developed curriculum for the direction of the first class of internship ‘students of revival’ to be raised up, out of this house of prayer & worship.
In the following years, one of Reuben’s most fulfilling assignments through his journey serving in India, was being able to establish an English-speaking church-plant in his hometown, co-pastoring with Pastor Elizabeth Mathew.
His vision for serving God and serving people through the years has consistently been to: “see a generation walk with God as ‘Enoch walked with God’” {-Gen. 5:24, -Heb. 11:5}.
His heart burns to see fires of revival breakout & be sustained to increase of God’s glory in America —and internationally through media & missions.
Pastor Grace Kora is a seer, revivalist, and creative —passionate about prophetic worship-expression revealing the glory of God to the nations. Grace was ordained as a 5-fold pastor in 2019 by her spiritual father, Pastor Tony Thompson of Glory City Church Atlanta (Apostle of Glory City Network-U.S.A.). Since 2012, Pastor Tony & his apostle, Katherine Ruonala, have consistently sought to equip, encourage, counsel, & empower Grace to arise in serving the Lord through giftings in prophetic ministry & Kingdom missions work —catapulting her forward in an acceleration of “grace upon grace” (Jn. 1:16). In 2023, she became internationally recognized as a prophet, by two different 5-fold leaders in relationship with the Koras, before two different public ekkelsia assemblies.
In July 2019, at the Glory City Church Network conference in Atlanta, Grace & Reuben were called upon by their apostles to go out in their next Kingdom destiny assignment: to pastor Glory City Church Aiken.
Although she received Jesus as her Savior at the tender age of four, it was as a young teenager that she began experiencing the radical Love & Supernatural Nature of His Presence in dramatic encounters, while serving amongst the amazing Navajo people, on the mission field in New Mexico.

Grace is so grateful for her Godly parents, and the spiritual legacy of much prayer, wisdom, and the graces her parents & grandparents have blessed her through.
Her paternal grandmother, Sarah Mimbs was a powerful prophet, worshiping intercessor, and minister. Mrs. Mimbs wholeheartedly served the Lord, from her early teenage years, through her lifetime --faithfully completing over 65 years of honored service to the Church, as an ordained minister through the Foursquare, Pentecostal denomination. She was trained up young, in the ministry Bible college of revivalist Aimee Semple McPherson, at Angelus Temple in the 40s. Upon graduation, she & her husband moved from L.A., back East, to their Georgia roots —where they actively served the Kingdom the remainder of their decades together, out of their local church in Atlanta.
…
Together, Grace and Reuben share a deep passion for nurturing the Bride of Christ. Their mission is to empower, restore, and heal the Church—spirit, soul, and body—preparing a vibrant and ready congregation for the return of our Bridegroom King, Jesus.
In May 2019, upon Grace & Reuben’s return to the United States, they came under the spiritual Apostleship of Glory City Church Network, led by Pastor Katherine Ruonala, and under the U.S. Apostolic leadership of Pastor Tony Thompson. Their journey took a significant step forward in January 2020, when they were appointed as senior pastors at Glory City Church Aiken, where they continue to lead with commitment and fervor.
