God began to press it upon the hearts of the Crawfords that God was doing a new thing and He was prompting them to move the meetings into the city of Fairfield and establish itself with its own identity and a new name. Jubilee Christian Fellowship was officially birthed in May of 1996. The ministry was so determined to start meeting in Fairfield that while searching for a more permanent home, they decided to gather for the first 3 weeks in the town’s Library meeting room. That is all any group is allowed. God provided warehouse space by the 4th week. The move proved to be exactly what God was requiring and as His presence increased, so did the number of people who came needing Him.

Jubilee grew rapidly and hit the ground running in the city of Fairfield. It quickly became known for deep teaching, dynamic worship and above all, complete freedom. Always yielding to the Spirit of God first and lots of time completely abandoning their own agenda for what God would do in their meetings became a hallmark. God will do amazing things when we get out of the way and let Him.

It became evident that God was calling Jubilee to be more than just a church. He soon revealed plans to launch a bible school. In the fall of 1998, the first class of Jubilee School of Ministry commenced. JSM soon became a fully accredited

Their original passion for the nations found the Crawfords in an opportunity to take the JSM curriculum overseas. This initial opportunity soon exploded and today there are 40 functioning JSM International schools in 8 nations. These schools produce literally thousands of graduates every year and there is no way to account for the lives that these thousands are impacting around the globe.

These international contacts began to lead into opportunities for international travel for the Crawfords as well as other leaders in the ministry. Suddenly this small town church was impacting far beyond its local population of ten thousand, it

The new identity as a ministry vs. a church took some adjusting but in the end it allowed Jubilee to really start to function in the way that God had intended. Soon it also became clear that the "fellowship’s" Sunday morning services were not a typical church service. The message that was coming forth and what God was trying to orchestrate was so much deeper and it was not for the local congregation only but for THE CHURCH, the entire Body of Christ in the region.

This led Jubilee to officially move their Sunday morning meetings to Saturday nights in mid 2005. This move helped them to not compete with the local churches but to work alongside them. This would allow leaders, people from other congregations and non-believers a like to come and experience God in a new way and hear the message of the Kingdom and a coming reformation of The Church. They could do all of this and still maintain their leadership role or membership of their local congregation. In fact, Jubilee stressed supporting their local church and to not give their tithe to Jubilee but to their church home.

This concept was so progressive and Kingdom minded that some people still could not wrap their minds around it. But JIM was only applying what the coming reformation of The Church would look like as God was unfolding it to them. This continues

This led to the forming of the Iowa Alliance for Reformation comprised of JIM and 4 other ministries who were like minded. The Alliance first met in Kalona in Feb. 2007 to plan how to proceed. The first Alliance meeting launched that same month in Pella, IA. In April of 2007, while Apostle Greg was ministering out of state in Ohio, he had a chance to go see Charles Finney’s church and stand behind his old pulpit. While standing at the pulpit, God spoke to him that he was to carry the anointing for reformation from that place back to Iowa. This only further confirmed that JIM and the IAR were in God’s timing and placement.

For the next two years, the Alliance traveled the state of Iowa and conducted 10 regional meetings. The idea was to gather key leaders in the state and to proclaim the message of the Kingdom and the Reformation of the Church to finally take its rightful place and become the ekklesia of God, His ruling and reigning ones.

Halfway through the Alliance meetings while researching in preparation for the Waterloo alliance meeting in Oct of 2007, J.I.M. discovered something interesting in the history of the state of Iowa. They discovered a group called the Iowa Band that first came to the state of Iowa. The similarities between what they did 150 years prior in the state and what the Iowa Alliance for Reformation was currently doing were completely unbelievable.

The two years proved to be hard tilling and by the end only two of the original five ministries finished the race that was started, J.I.M. and Rev. Gerald Knock representing World Ministry Fellowship in Tiffin, Iowa. The two year span also confirmed to J.I.M. that God was calling them to a state and national level voice in the Reformation message. Towards the end of the Alliance meetings, God began to reveal His plan to Apostle Greg that He was calling the ministry to relocate its headquarters to the state capitol. From this location, God would use them to speak into and bring Reformation to the state of Iowa.

He continued to fervently seek God in prayer and slowly revealed the plan of God to the leadership of J.I.M. Over the course of the next couple months, there were 27 confirmations of God that this was His will, some even occurring from overseas and almost all of them from people who didn’t even know the move was even an idea. They waited until the conclusion of the last Alliance meeting in September of 2008 to announce that J.I.M. would relocate from Southeast Iowa to Des Moines.

About a week before the last Alliance meeting in September of 2008, Dutch Sheets and Robert Henderson from the United States Alliance for Reformation offered the position of the state coordinator for Iowa to Apostle Greg and he accepted.
