Leader Bio:
Phil and Laina Graf were married in 1988 and are the parents of five wonderful children. Their ministry flows first and foremost out of their loving and life-giving family. They have spent the majority of their years of ministry developing leaders who impact communities by starting new churches. Many of these leaders say that they have been most impacted by the Graf’s “lavish hospitality, raw spirituality, and relentless commitment to push forward God’s Kingdom both locally and globally.”
Phil served on staff with Youth for Christ (8 yrs) before meeting Laina, and together they have served with Church Resource Ministries (11 yrs), and with Christian Associates International (7 yrs). As a family the Grafs lived in Amsterdam for four years and in Portugal for two years before moving back to Oxnard, just outside of Los Angeles, California.
As a part of Global Training Network, Phil and Laina will continue to multiply, equip, and encourage leaders both near and far. In addition, under the auspices of GTN, Phil will play a special role with Global Justice Mission, raising up leaders who oppose the injustice of slavery and sex trafficking locally in Oxnard, throughout the United States, and around the world.

Help my unbelief
Dear God, help my unbelief. When I'm in pain, I forget that you care about me. I forget that you have helped me through my trials. I forget that you hold me in your arms to keep me safe. I forget that you are feeling my pain with me. I forget that you love me, I forget that I am important to you. Show me your presence - let me feel your enveloping love. Heal my hurting soul. Thank you for staying with me even in my unbelief.
