Guest Speaker: Pastor Dave Ford

Dave and Lori Ford

President

Dave and Lori Ford are the founders of Inflate Ministries. Their hearts’ desire is and has always been to encourage, motivate, and lift people up, whether it be through international outreach, serving as pastors in a local church, or ministering one on one.

Early on, Dave and Lori toured the United States and Canada producing and directing the drama Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames, where thousands made a decision for Christ.

Dave and Lori answered God’s next call on their lives and founded Banner Church (formerly WeatherStone Church) in southeastern Wisconsin. The couple served faithfully for 24 years and grew WeatherStone from three families meeting in a home into a dynamic, powerful, and life-giving church.

They believe that God has now called them to build a pastoral encouragement team. In essence, Dave and Lori’s passion is to build a network of coaches around the world to encourage and uplift pastors and their spouses.

Dave and Lori have two children, four grandchildren, and reside in northwestern Wisconsin.
