Colonel "Jim" Ammerman was listed as being an apostle in C. Peter Wagner's International Coalition of Apostles [see ICA
prospectus] from the organization's inception in
2001 through to December 2008. The ICA is one of the main entities in Wagner's New Apostolic Reformation, a movement rapidly coalescing out of the Apostolic networks that have arisen in Third Wave Christianity.
Ted Haggard, another major leader in Wagner's movement, worked closely with Peter Wagner for over a decade. Another prominent member of Wagner's movement, Sarah Palin joined the Wasilla, Alaska prayer group of Mary Glazier in 1990, around the time Palin decided to go into politics according to Glazier.
A February 2009 Charisma Magazine article confirmed the Palin-Glazier relationship was ongoing, and Glazier, who serves with Wagner in his elite Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE). Dutch Sheets, also an ACPE member made a January 7, 2009 appearance, along with Glazier, at Sarah Palin's most significant Alaska church, the Wasilla Assembly of God. During the ceremony, Sheets declared that Glazier "was the lady who brought us [the NAR] into Alaska."
