PastorsLink is an initiative by Dr. Ashok Karkera and Dr. Regina Karkera founders of GGM Ministries, Inc. In the year 2017, our founder was visiting Washington DC and God spoke by giving clear instructions in a dream. Lord said, “Create a common online platform for all my servants and I will send resources to it.” As we began to pray we received further clarity on how this should be done. In times such as these, It’s extremely critical to have a single platform to unite and communicate with the Body of Christ by leveraging the technological platform. Key focus areas PastorsLink.com addresses. This platform is dedicated to offering services to the universal Body of Christ without denominational differences. Following are the key focus areas: 1) Delivering Reliable, unbiased Christian news from the ground-up perspective. 2) A common resource-sharing platform for the church. 3) Dedicated social media network for ministers and global leaders. 4) Secure and reliable unbiased cross-border payments and fundraising financial ecosystem.
