Reuben & Grace Kora

Hosting the Presence of God so that Heaven's glory is tangibly and transformationally experienced.

Together, Reuben & Grace share a deep passion for nurturing the Bride of Christ. Their mission is to host the Presence of God in such a way that Heaven’s glory is tangibly and transformationally experienced in breakthrough expressions — by all who come together, seeking encounters with more of God.

The Koras missionally seek out individuals to uplift, build up, speak into, empower, and connect outward. They joyfully pursue ones who are desiring to be fit together into healthy, growing teams and networks of partnership, within the wider scope of the global spiritual family of Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:19–22 NASB)

From the Koras

“We thrive on prophetically discovering, clarifying, and uplifting the unique destiny calls and giftings upon individual hearts, lives, and families. We are led of the Holy Spirit! We hear the Voice of God, and together with the Word of God, we come alongside those who are seeking more equipping and help to launch forward, unhindered — with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

We believe this beautiful progression happens both supernaturally and organically — from within the sheltering context and blessing of spiritual family, with ongoing discipleship.

We courageously and whole-heartedly dive into real relationships that become a part of the solutions the Church needs, for being healed, aligned, and beautifully restored to thrive. Greater wholesomeness from the Love and glory of God needs to come for every person — spirit, soul, and body — in the great preparation process that is unfolding, for a vibrant and able Ekklesia to arise.

We continue building relationships, all while carrying forward needful preparations and strategic exploit launches — for transcending the four walls of the church’s gathering spaces. With our hearts continually burning with love for Jesus, and with genuine relationships of love and grace for others, we support each other as we each ascend mountains of influence.”

Apostolic covering

In this work of ministry and in Kingdom spiritual family, we are grateful to be apostolically covered by Katherine Ruonala & Tony Thompson (Glory City Church Network), and Thomas P. Thomas & Rachel Thomas (FFC Network, India).

We are additionally grateful to be in close relationship and sweet fellowship with other five-fold leaders, who we are greatly blessed to partner with — as we align, converge, and collaborate together with other movements, ministry teams, and groups, within the call of following Jesus as Lord, by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Reuben Jacob Kora

Prophet · Senior Pastor

Pastor Reuben Jacob Kora

Pastor Reuben Jacob Kora is internationally recognized as a friend of God who ministers from the office of prophet. 2026 marks his 23-year milestone of faithfully serving the Lord through full-time ministry. He was first ordained as a five-fold pastor in 2017, by his spiritual father of more than fourteen years — Rev. Thomas P. Thomas, senior pastor & apostle of Faith Family Church Network (India). Also affectionately known as Pastor Kabod, he raised Reuben up to spiritual maturity through many years of daily life mentorship. Reuben faithfully followed and served Kabod’s apostolic vision, mandate, and mission of building multiple churches, as well as building and mobilizing ministry teams for strategic missions.

Additionally, Reuben spent a pivotal six years laboring alongside a pioneering team to found a new house of 24/7 prayer and worship in the metropolitan city of Bangalore. During this period, he experienced dramatic encounters with Jesus through the Holy Spirit, and even short visitations to Heaven, as the beginnings of an outpouring of revival began to fall in supernatural signs, wonders, and miracles on this devoted community. It was during this time that Reuben also dynamically grew as a worshiper, while pioneering creative use for livestream and utilizing his passionate gifts with technology for the Kingdom. There he also developed curriculum for the first class of internship students of revival to be raised up out of that house of prayer and worship — little did he know that his future wife would later attend and study through that revival-discipleship program.

In the following years, one of Reuben’s most fulfilling assignments through his journey of serving his home country of India sprang up out of his own hometown: establishing an English-speaking church plant under his spiritual dad, while co-pastoring with Pastor Elizabeth Mathew. A few years later, Grace became his bride, and was also able to join in lovingly nurturing and serving the FFC-Kottayam church and community.

Reuben’s God-given vision for serving people through the years has consistently been to “see a generation walk with God as Enoch walked with God” (Gen. 5:24, Heb. 11:5). His heart burns to see the fires of revival break out and be sustained to increase of God’s glory in America — and internationally — through radical obedience to the Voice of God, courageous love and faith, deep work in building up right relationships, all while harnessing media and taking action through strategic missions to reach hungry hearts.

In 2022, Reuben launched his first LLC — Prophetic Frequency — as a marketplace platform and interchange space for creative work to reach hearts around the world with the impact of the Holy Spirit. In 2025, Reuben & Grace launched a new school of the prophets, Prophets’ Tabernacle, covering 45 hours of live instruction and practical training intensives across two semesters. Throughout 2026, the Koras are debuting a new, all-online equipping school for more prophets and emerging prophetic voices.

Reuben remains a constant learner — greatly enjoying pioneering and prayerfully innovating his way through the digital landscape, as well as through the spiritual realms, all crossing through our tangible aspects of moving through life (Acts 17:28).

Pastor Grace Kora centers her heart and life around loving King Jesus. She is an anointed seer, intercessor, pursuer, and creative — passionate about prophetic worship-expression revealing the glory of God to the nations. Grace was ordained as a five-fold pastor in 2019 by her spiritual father, Pastor Tony Thompson of Glory City Church Atlanta (Apostle of Glory City Network USA). Since 2012, Pastor Tony and his apostle, Katherine Ruonala, have consistently sought to encourage, equip, and counsel Grace to arise in serving the Lord through giftings in prophetic ministry and Kingdom missions work — catapulting her forward in an acceleration of “grace upon grace” (Jn. 1:16). In 2023, she became internationally recognized as a prophet by two different five-fold leaders in relationship with the Koras, before two different public Ekklesia assemblies.

In 2019, Grace and Reuben were called upon by their apostles to go out in their next Kingdom destiny assignment: to pastor Glory City Church Aiken, through the local church’s transition.

Although Grace received Jesus as her Savior at the tender age of four, it was as a young teenager that she began experiencing the radical Love and supernatural nature of His Presence. Dramatic encounters with the Holy Spirit changed the course of her trajectory, while she spent summers serving amongst the Navajo people on the mission fields of New Mexico.

Grace is grateful for her Godly parents, and the spiritual legacy of much prayer, wisdom, and grace her parents and grandparents have imparted. Her paternal grandmother, Rev. Sarah Mimbs, was a powerful prophet, worshiping intercessor, and minister — completing over 60 years of honored service to the Church as an ordained Foursquare minister, trained at Angelus Temple in the 1940s.

Since being baptized in the love, power and fire of the Holy Spirit in 2013, Grace began free-flowing in a unique prophetic-unction through spontaneous song and poetry as a prophetic psalmist. Wherever she is in her journey, she delights in sharing Jesus and introducing the Holy Spirit with great joy and creativity. A through-line of grace and vision upon her life has always been to help reveal and release experiential revelation of the universal goodness and glory of God, through His Love and Beauty.

Grace has brought the love-gifts of the Holy Spirit to hearts in campus communities and classrooms around the world, teaching both undergraduate university art students and high school art students during her professional teaching journey. She heard the audible voice of God on Jan. 3rd of 2013, in an encounter that changed the trajectory of her life: “You are going to India!” The Lord continued to launch her internationally into serving Him in the nations until the summer of 2019.

Her first long-term outreach out of undergraduate college was with a nonprofit anti-human-trafficking organization abroad. Through her travels she was trained through a church-planting intensive school, and received further equipping through a program at a house of prayer and worship. In Southern India, with Reuben’s church, Grace was accelerated into over 270 intensive training hours in the ministry of deep healing and deliverance counseling. Now church-planting stateside beside her husband has become a whole new chapter of life and ministry.
