In 2001 during a season of prayer, God birthed a burden to pray for and evangelize young people.Gideon learned through his father’s ministry that prayer indeed has the power to affect a city! His father, Rev. Simon Stanley, and a handful of people initiated an All Night Prayer in the 1970s in Madras, India. Today churches are thriving and born-again Christians grew from 3% to now 20% of the city’s population. Gideon Stanley is also a business owner, and travels to various parts of the world sharing the word of God in churches and in the market place. |

|
| Today in Gideon’s Army Ministries, Gideon actively networks among city leaders and stirs up adults to share the burden of intercession for the younger generation. Through passionate preaching and spontaneous worship, Gideon calls upon God to touch the hearts of the youth. God has used Gideon’s Army Ministries to bring salvation, healing and deliverance to hundreds of youth through over 50 youth events over the past few years. Youth mission teams have traveled to Mexico and India, ministering in the power of God’s Word and the Holy Spirit to thousands |

| Sara Stanley |
| |
| Sara has more that ten years experience in pastoral teaching, preaching, counseling, and leadership. After receiving her Master of Divinity degree from Luther Seminary in 1998, she has ministered at the International Bible Church and served with the Lutheran Youth Organization. |
|
| |
| When Sara and Gideon married in 1996, they felt a calling to be “bridge builders.” That bridge building primarily takes place through prayer – drawing nations, generations, the saved and the lost together into God’s purpose. After several years of ministering as a couple in voluntary roles, Gideon and Sara were ordained in November 2004. Today Sara ministers together with her husband in Gideon’s Army Ministries for Youth. Sara ministers with the worship band as a violinist, develops discipleship resources, teaches, preaches and coordinates several aspects of the outreach ministry. |
