We have met and talked on a number of occasions, most often at the Pre-Trib meetings held annually in Dallas. This is a prophecy think-tank founded by Dr.Tim LaHaye, whom both Gary and I are thankful to call our friend.
Gary is one of today’s top prophecy scholars from the Pre-Trib viewpoint. As a matter of fact, he is privileged to share the various podiums with Dr. LaHayeand Dr. Ed Hindson while they travel throughout the U.S. presenting messages in the Left Behind Prophecy Conferences, hosted by America’s largest churches.
Dr. Frazier resigned a successful pastorate in New Orleans, Louisiana, to found Discovery Ministries, Inc. (DMI) in 1985. DMI is an evangelism and educationministry involving pastors and missionaries to the Middle East, with emphasis on Israel. Gary has traveled to Israel more than150 times since 1971. Hisministry has taken more than 7,000 ministers, along with thousands of believers from all over the United States, to the Holy Land.
DMI is a non-profit organization founded for the purpose of equipping believers through travel to Israel and promoting Christian support forthe state of Israel and its biblical right to exist. DMI is recognized by the Israel Government Ministry of Tourism as one of America’s leading tour operators.
