NE METRO is associated with Apostle/Prophet Chuck Pierce & Glory of Zion Ministries as a Church of Zion. APOSTLE TONY CAVENER is a member of the International Coalition of Apostles founded by C. Pete Wagner.
A brief history of NE METRO:
In 1982, APOSTLE TONY & PASTOR SANDRA CAVENER began serving serving in pastoral capacities in several churches. Both were ordained into the ministry through the Association of Vineyard Churches in 1988. TONY & SANDRA helped to lay new foundations and set in order several existing works. In the late 1980's, they ministered in an apostolic and prophetic capacity to several churches in the southeast US. As church planters, they helped in the founding of the Oklahoma City Vineyard.
Through a prophetic vision the Lord called TONY & SANDRA to move from Oklahoma City to Atlanta in 1991. They served as associate pastors at the Atlanta Vineyard from 1991 to 1994. In December 1994, as the winds of the Toronto blessing began to blow, they planted NE METRO Christian Fellowship in Norcross, GA. In 1996, NE METRO left the Association of Vineyard Churches to pursue the renewal that was breaking out all over the world.
Since 1996, NE METRO has developed relationships with John & Carol Arnott (Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship), David & Janice Van Cronkite (Blood & Fire Ministries), Prophet Bob Jones, John Paul Jackson, the Kansas City Fellowship, Jim Goll, Dutch Sheets, and many others.
SANDRA was one of the keynote speakers at the 1997 Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship's Women Conference. She has been involved in planning and participating with many other women's conferences. Another passion of SANDRA's is for the next generation. She has attended numerous conferences at The RAMP in Hamilton, AL with NE METRO's youth..
TONY & SANDRA have ministered internationally in Canada, Costa Rica, the UK, the Dominican Republic , Peru, and Australia. Seven men from NE METRO participated in a historic event as "shofar trumpeters" who blow the shofars at the end of 0.7.07.07 The Call Nashville when Ray Hughes called for the "new sound" to come forth into the nation.
A MIRACLE IN COSTA RICA
After a pastor's conference in San Jose, Costa Rica at Manuel Beach on Labor Day 2000, APOSTLE TONY suffered from an injury that broke his neck. He had been body surfing and an undertow swept his feet out from under him. TONY was catapulted head first into the hard sand. He was submerged in water and became totally paralyzed. After being helped out of the water and settled on the beach by friends, he cried out to God for help. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, his friends prayed that God would totally heal him. Within 30 minutes, TONY's pain started to fade. His neck had been broken. He had suffered a "hangman's fracture", which is generally a fatal injury. He had posterior fractures on the cervical #1 and #2 neck vertebrae. He was forced to wear a "halo" vest to keep his neck perfectly rigid. God began to heal TONY's body. Within 5 days, he regained 70% use of his left arm. Doctors thought it would take him 3 months to be well enough to left the hospital. Only 1 week later, he walked out of the hospital on his own and flew home. TONY could have died, drowned, or suffered permanent spinal injury. God had a different plan. God performed a miracle! TONY is now completely healed!
