+Lydia Young

Lead Servant

Called to do the work of the Apostle, My purpose is to empower people to thrive in their divine purpose, unlocking their potential to transform lives. My assignment is to come alongside pastors, planters, ministers, and all God’s people as a trusted advisor, My mission is igniting passion in people to know and fully walk in their calling.

“WE are not ALL CALLED to PREACH but WE ARE ALL called to FUFILL our KINGDOM PURPOSE in the earth”

Lydia Young is the founder and lead servant of the Good Tidings Interdenominational Evangelistic Association. Her leadership qualities and unwavering dedication have been crucial to the successful operation of this ministry. Moreover, her contributions have played an instrumental role in the growth and development of the organization, guided by the motto "His Will, His Bill."

Despite not initially aspiring to establish a church, God entrusted Lydia, who is also the founder of the founder and leader of Holy Place Church, which has faced several challenges since its inception in 2020. Although she is differently abled, and she initially hesitated to accept this responsibility, she is obedient to the will of God.

Lydia has been licensed, ordained, consecrated, and affirmed, but she considers her most significant title to be a servant. She believes that titles merely describe the job we do, or at least the job we should be doing.

Lydia aspires to hear God say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of the Lord."

Her journey of certifications, to name a few:

Microsoft Office Essentials (MindEdge Learning)

Social Media Marketing (HubSpot Academy)

Professional Life Coaching 101-201 (AACC)

Certificate In Leadership (Sam Chand Leadership Institute)

Workplace Security Awareness (FEMA)

Fundamentals of Management (Watsan Training Center)

Dante Certification Levels 1-3 (Audinate)

Are you a leader in ministry, whether with or without a covering, seeking to discover and fulfill your unique purpose on Earth? Are you feeling burned out and in need of support and renewal? Look no further than GTIEA! We are an apostolic training hub dedicated to providing training, equipping, and sending services to empower new believers, church planters, committed ministry leaders, and marketplace ministers to succeed in their respective areas of influence, regardless of their current situation or challenges.

At GTIEA, we believe everyone has a vital role to play within the body of Christ, whether you're called to preach, serve in other ways, or lead an independent ministry. Our covenant community collaborates to train individuals to use their gifts and talents to support each other, and we're committed to providing a safe space for leaders to develop and grow, personally and in their ministries.

We understand the unique concerns of leaders without a covering, who do not want to lose the vision God has given you. Our assignment is not to change the unique vision God has given you but rather build upon it and help you fulfill the vision. We also understand the challenges of those experiencing burnout, who need help that will come in without ulterior motives or hidden agendas.

That's why we offer tailored resources, workshops, and support systems to address these specific needs. Our programs are designed to help you navigate the complexities of ministry, build resilience, and rediscover your passion for serving God and others.

At GTIEA, you'll find a welcoming and nurturing environment where you can connect with like-minded leaders, share your experiences, and receive the guidance and encouragement you need to press forward in the assignment God has given you to fulfil in the earth. We believe that you were born with a specific design to accomplish a task that only you can complete, and we're here to help you reach your full potential and make a lasting impact in the world.

INTERESTED IN A COVERING

Joining our organization as a leader or a church requires careful consideration, prayer, and knowledge about us. We build lifelong relationships with those we serve and connect with churches and ministries that we are called to fellowship with. We focus on increasing the effectiveness of pastors and leaders and provide valuable information to carry out the work that God assigned to your hands. God gave you the vision for the work He called you to lead, our addignment is to help you see it to fruition.

To enter into covenant fellowship with us, it is our policy that all individuals, churches, and independent ministries complete an application. We have a process of vetting (preparation and qualification) to ensure that we are making the right decision before entering into a covenant fellowship with you. This process is not done haphazardly but with prayer and careful consideration.

As instructed in 1 Timothy 5:22, we are not quick to lay hands on anyone. Our extensive process of vetting provides legitimacy and credibility to the applicant. During this process, if we find that ministerial licenses are not valid or were not obtained correctly, we may not turn you away. However, if you decide to pursue membership with us through association or enjoy the benefits of affiliation, you MUST be willing to go through the process of doing things correctly. Our assignment is unlike any other organization. There are no hidden agendas or ulterior motives. Our assignment is not to be seen by men as your covering but rather to assist you in effectively in fulfilling your calling.

"Answering the call of ministry requires proper training and credentials. We are here to help those who are willing to submit to accountability and spiritual authority. Ministerial credentials certify that you are qualified to fulfill the weight of the call of God on your life, just like doctors or lawyers need a license to practice."

Please note that this is not an organization where you are ordained, consecrated, installed as a pastor or independent ministry leader, and then leave. Nor is it an organization where you go to the yearly conferences and never gain access to the leader. Covenant is an ongoing commitment by both parties.

Those who wish to enter into covenant fellowship or independent affiliation with us must also be willing to submit to background checks.

There are two tiers of covenant fellowship:

- Association:

Associate churches and/or independent ministries become a subsidiary or branch of this organization through covenant fellowship. Our covenant fellowship provides full access to valuable resources, privileges, and opportunities to all members with utmost respect and consideration. Join us for a supportive and engaging community experience while still maintaining the unique vision of the church God called you to lead.

- Affiliation:

Did you know that our organization offers an opportunity for affiliate churches to participate in our mission as independent entities? This is made possible through mutual agreement. You get to enjoy some of the perks while still maintaining the unique vision of the church God called you to lead.
