Deanna Demaree is the "den mother" of Pentecost Walk and Tom’s full-time consigliere. A gracious, generous, talented and longsuffering woman (Tom’s a handful) with an ever-present passion for God's presence, she never craves the spotlight, preferring to serve behind the scenes. From singlehandedly driving the 40-foot RV during the first` cross-country prayerwalk (while simultaneously homeschooling the kids and caring for the entire team) to editing Tom's writings, she is a full-partner in every sense, the rock behind every good pebble flowing out of Tom's life and ministry.
Pastor Kevin Roberts is a vigilant servant-leader and a loyal friend. He’s been with Tom since the first steps in 2001, and in recent years, with Tom’s bump in physical challenges, Kevin has really stepped up to watch over and safeguard his friend. He is a gifted worship leader, but all-the-more, an anointed exhorter, filled, head-to-toe, with heaven’s passion—a trustworthy and non-showboating model of the fervency of a true prayer-warrior. As such, God uses Kevin as a Kingdom torch to both ignite-and-rekindle hearts unto intimate relationship and sold-out obedience to Christ.
Kevin and Vikki have a strong kinship to Pentecost Walk’s vision, but an even stronger bond with Tom and Deanna, whom they've known since their high school days, when Kevin played drums in Tom's worship band and Vik babysat the Demaree kids. All these years later, they have five beautiful kids of their own, 18-28, plus three ever-smiling grand kids. They make their home just outside of Franklin, Tennessee.
Missionary Volunteers
This ministry wouldn’t be possible without the selfless efforts of countless missionary volunteers—family, friends, pastors and leaders from all over the country, who have joined together in agreement to see our nation change. There are literally too many names to mention, so many of whom have become the dearest of friends. That said, we want to give special honor to Paula & Dave Miller, who have served us faithfully for over a decade now.
The Body of Christ
Thus far, our prayerwalks have ranged from a handful to multiple thousands, but we believe even more will walk with us, and millions will say “amen” by signing our National Prayer of Repentance.
