Debra Gifford
Leadership
Debra grew up in Sacramento and met her husband, Jim, while attending Vanguard University, a Christian college in Costa Mesa. During that time, she was a featured soloist at a Christian band that toured Europe and the US.
This is when she first became aware of a prophetic gifting as she prayed over people, however there was no name for it back then. Later at First Assembly, she was involved in women's ministries, dramas, choir, solos, and lead some trios and worship services. The next six years for Debra at the House of Glory were like boot camp in the prophetic, worship team and spontaneous song. She also served on the board there and in prophetic presbytery. When that church closed they went to Kingsway. She was on Apostle Brad's worship team and they headed the prophetic ministry. That church also closed, and they began to get teased about having the ministry of closing churches.
Currently they have been at the local Vineyard for 19 years (and it hasn't closed) and worked concurrently at the Healing Rooms for fourteen of those years. During that time, Debra facilitated a listening prayer group for three years because she was passionate about helping people hear His voice clearly every day, which brings a constant awareness of His presence. Deborah has been with the Generals for about 8 years and she is excited about the healing and restoration that takes place there. She loves to see people walk out their giftings and feels it is having a huge impact on the county.

Maureen Fountain
Leadership
Maureen grew up in Southern California and became part of a Jesus People group in 1972 that provided witnessing adventures across the western US, oftentimes via hitchhiking and with no visible means of support. It was truly living by faith and watching God daily provide. After marrying and having 3 kids, she and her husband set out as faith missionaries to discover the wonders of the Latin life, birthing 4 more kids, and experiencing God's hand as they reared and taught their children and shared a soul-winning message.
Maureen continues to be a vibrant disciple. She loves the honor given the Holy Spirit at the Generals and longs to experience more of that and share it with others. Teaching a weekly Bible study with her husband, volunteering at a food pantry, praying at the Atascadero Healing Rooms and wherever the Lord leads, she wants to see God move and His love encountered as His Kingdom is established on earth.
Maureen helps lead the Holy Spirit Prayer Ministry and teach the Corporate Holy Spirit Prayer Classes. Her love for the presence of God and the revelation she shares is an inspiration to all.
Ronda Robb
Leadership
Ronda serves as the co–director of the prophetic training with Debra Gifford, she also serves on the leadership team and Healing Rooms team.
Ronda has been an intercessor since she was a child, loving Jesus as far back as she can remember. She was not always sure of His love for her though and thought her salvation was performance based. It was in her 20’s that she took an Evangelism Explosion class on how to minister salvation to the unsaved outside the church, that she understood for the first time salvation has nothing to do with performance. Ephesians 2:8-9: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
She was very involved with YWAM in her late 20’s, serving on 3 short term missions to Japan, Hong Kong, Macau and the Philippines. In 1988 she moved from Portland Oregon to Los Osos California to help pioneer a new Four Square Church. It was here she met her husband of 36 years, Ty Robb. She has been a California girl ever since. They have 2 grown children, 4 very large dogs and 3 cats.

Sheri Covert became born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1981. She had a radical conversion at that time and has been serving the Lord ever since. She and her late husband served in various ministries over their 33 year marriage. Sheri is the mother of five grown children and soon to be a grandma, to which she is overjoyed! Her market place ministry as a certified massage therapist has been an open door for the Lord to bring healing, hope and
encouragement to many whom she lays hands on.
Sheri is currently the director of the Atascadero Healing Rooms and serves in leadership with the North County Generals ministry. She loves to encourage the body of Christ in who they are in Christ Jesus! Sheri is a seasoned prayer warrior, who loves to move in the gifts of prophesy and teaching.
