Pastors Glenn & Bonita grew strong in the Faith message in the late 1970s at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas. Pastor Glenn was actively involved in the Praise and Worship band, was a faithful prayer partner, and interned in their Pastor program. Pastor Bonita volunteered her time in the church office, sound room, and was also a faithful prayer partner. In 1978, Bonita was led by the Holy Spirit into full-time ministry, teaching and singing at Bible studies, Women’s Aglow, and other named ministries around the Houston, Texas area. Eventually, she moved to and began teaching Bible studies in Duncan, Oklahoma. Upon commission of the Holy Spirit and the leadership of Pastor John Osteen of Lakewood Church, she continued on to establish Word of Faith Church in Duncan, which later became what is now Rivers of Life Family Church International Ministries, Inc.
