Join Our Community
Our Mission
In 2019, Michael and Nancy Everist established this organization with the focus on making connections and growing a community based on unflinching faith in Jesus Christ. “Our hearts are fixed on seeing the Remnant of the Most High God be equipped to stand strong and victorious in this present age,” states Michael. “We serve those who seek salvation, deliverance, and healing and teach believers the tools they need to walk out their freedom in Jesus Christ.”
Living all out for Jesus Christ is the greatest adventure known to mankind.
An Eternal Race for Our Faith
The race of faith is not for the faint of heart. It requires perseverance, diligence, and steadfast reliability. We have an enemy of our souls who seeks to rob, kill, and destroy the people of God, but we have been given weapons to not only withstand, but to overcome.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to fight the good fight of faith. Each of us is called to run this race set before us with endurance. This race matters because the outcome is eternal.
The Greatest Race of Our Lifetime
Your Greatest Race is committed to training and equipping the saints to stand in the midst of darkness. We provide blogs, videos, podcasts and are available for on-site trainings for the Remnant believers of Jesus Christ. Connect with us as we encourage one another to run hard so that each of us will cross the finish line and receive the crown of Glory to lay at the feet of our King!
Board Member - Dick Pickens
Dick S. Pickens was born in 1936 at San Antonio, Texas. He became the co-host of a kids radio program on KEBE-AM in Jacksonville, Texas at age 10. It was there he first met his wife-to-be when she played the piano at age 8 on his program. They were married nine years later. Both are graduates of the University of Texas at Austin, Dick from UT’s College of Communication (where he would later serve as a paid lecturer) and Nancy from their Fine Arts College of Music.
Before finishing his deejay career, he was licensed by the Federal Communications Commission as a broadcast engineer. He would later begin theological studies at the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, graduating with another bachelor’s degree (later converted to a Master of Divinity degree).
Dick was ordained in 1971 by the United Presbyterian Church U.S.A. which then officially authorized his missionary call to work with Teen Challenge of Texas (a ministry of the Assemblies of God) which had gown out of Rev. David Wilkerson’s New York Teen Challenge and Wilkerson’s bestselling book THE CROSS AND THE SWITCHBLADE. Here he would serve as Director of THE WELL, a Teen Challenge off-campus ministry and coffeehouse near the University of Texas.
In the 1980s he became an assistant pastor to two Austin Churches, one of which was under the Evangelical Presbyterian Church from which he is now formally retired.

Advisory Board Members
Pastor Wayne Glover & Deanna Glover
Grew up in a very nominal Christian home. Mom was the believer.
He graduated high school and then went on to college to be a Chemist. He was saved
at the age of 17 in a revival service.
Met Deanna in high school and got married in 1961 at the height of the Berlin Wall
crisis.
Moved to Ft. Bragg, N.C. for less than a year and then moved to Akron, OH. Started
back to college to become a Chemist and that was accomplished in 1973. Took his
wife and three children to Wabash, IN, to work as a rubber chemist for General Tire and
Rubber Co.
Soon after moving to Wabash, he and Deanna were both invited to visit the Christian
and Missionary Alliance during the same week, so they did and soon knew that this
was the church for them.
One evening shortly after, the Lord spoke to Wayne about getting his walk with Him
going in the deeper life that He had for him. He went and talked to the Pastor who led
him in a prayer for that very thing and his life changed dramatically.
Soon after, during one of the church services, he felt the call of the Lord on his life to
be a pastor. So, the family packed up and left Wabash for Toccoa, GA. to go to Bible
College. While there, he was asked to become an Intercessor for a deliverance
ministry at the college. That ministry has been part of his service to the Lord ever
since.
After Bible College, they moved to Danville, IL, to pastor a church for 6 years, then onto
Kokomo, IN, for 5 years. After that in 1990, he became pastor of a church in St. Peter,
MN, for 20 years. Then retirement and moved back to Kokomo, IN, to be part of his
daughter and family’s lives.
During his ministry, he has worked with many people who are troubled by darkness
and affliction by the enemy of our souls. He uses a Bible based way of seeing them be
delivered and free to be able to live for the Lord.
He has been active in a Free Methodist church in Kokomo, IN, for 7 years now. And
seeing many more people become free from the enemy’s hold on their lives and able to
be used victoriously for the Lord.
Deanna grew up with a very faithful to the Lord, mother, who was the example that she
wanted to be. She was saved at the age of 16 at a revival in the Methodist church
where she grew up. Has mostly been a stay at home mother for their three children
and thankful for that opportunity.
She did secretarial work at different times and also was an ass’t postmaster for 19
years.
Deanna has been able to be used to help in the deliverance ministry all these years and
her gift, mostly, is in teaching young children the Bible and helping them to pray the
prayer of salvation and become strong in the Lord as they face this world of many evils.
Looking forward to the sky opening and seeing our Lord lifting us up to be with Him
forever.
