About

​
We don’t want you to just read this magazine. We want you to use GODSPEED like a living map - where our stories act as beacons - drawing you into His will for your life - so you literally become the next story full of evidence of what God has done.

Our mission is to awaken and mobilize the body of Christ in His power according to His will. Imagine more than 2 billion believers connecting to moves of God through this online bridge with strategic planning (from The Holy Spirit). Those who are shown here are only the very tip of the spear that The Lord has forged in GODSPEED Magazine for such a time as this.

Pastor Blake Booth

Pastor Blake Booth is the kind of man from which the phrase "straight shooter" emerged. He laughs easily, speaks directly, and shows immediate distaste for lukewarm positions.
​
Instead of basking in the generational blessings of his prophetic grandfather Dick Mills, Booth simply promotes Jesus. Instead of elaborating on his theological qualifications or degree, he simply notes, "I'm an ORU graduate." Instead of working to become a worshipped evangelist on a speaking tour, Pastor Blake took on the responsibilities of being a pastor at 24 and his congregation loved him as well as his wife, Pastor Stephanie Booth. Eight years have passed but today, as the Senior Pastor of Tougher Than Hell (TTH) Church in Hemet, California, Booth's message has remained direct: "Jesus is the hope of the world and the only thing that can heal our nation."
