Senior Leaders: Todd and Dawn Perna

Growing up in the Baptist tradition, Todd had little knowledge of God as Healer. But after hearing about the healing power of God and having an encounter with God revealing His grace years earlier, Todd was supernaturally healed in 2005. People are often healed and delivered of demonic oppression as Todd teaches and demonstrates the goodness of God. Through his experience of seeing thousands of healings and miracles, he now helps churches and leaders navigate the many challenges that come with teaching and releasing healing in church congregations. Through Todd’s teaching and impartation, many have been activated in power to release God’s goodness in their realms of authority.

Dawn has possessed a passion for music from the time she was a child. After several powerful encounters with the Lord during worship in 2006, she received significant emotional healing as Jesus revealed His love to her. She loves creating an atmosphere of joyful, intimate worship where the Holy Spirit is free to move, and people can powerfully connect with Him and receive the healing that they need. Many people have testified of being healed physically, emotionally and spiritually as Dawn ministers to the Lord (often with her team) in worship. She is equally passionate about individuals fully walking in their identity and calling, living the abundant life that Jesus promised, and she enjoys mentoring people to that end.

Todd & Dawn have been married since 1986 and enjoy spending time with their five adult children and their spouses, and seven grandchildren. In 2007 they were commissioned and ordained to “go and establish the church in the region.” Answering the call, they left all secular work and founded Healing Grace Ministries (HGM). HGM includes a worship center that ministers weekly to people from a five-state radius, Sozo Ministry, and Mighty Little Worshipers.
