Finance & Investing
Utilizing and adapting technologies familiar to the developed world such as Zoom, Clubhouse, and teleconferencing, we can provide believers with products and services to improve their understanding and belief in the Gospel.
Partnering with Local Communities
By nurturing relationships with like-minded organizations and individuals and above all by relying on God's providence through people like you, we're able to unlock His provision far beyond what we can do alone.
History
Our organization's history is a captivating journey that traces its roots back to the year 2013. During its inception, it took on a variety of forms and evolved gradually, like a puzzle coming together. However, it wasn't until the pivotal year of 2017 that we perceived a compelling divine calling, a purpose that would define our mission going forward: a dedicated focus on church planting, with a profound emphasis on nurturing and guiding the next generation.
In the intervening years, our ministry underwent a transformative process, exploring a multitude of approaches and strategies to realize this sacred vision. One of our noteworthy initiatives, the Family Ministry, has been steadfastly serving our community for the past four years. This particular facet of our mission is dedicated to empowering parents with essential skills and providing the much-needed support to help them navigate the intricate journey of family life. The Family Ministry not only strengthens the core of our community but also aligns with our commitment to raising a generation grounded in faith and values.
Simultaneously, we've been actively engaged in offering comprehensive training to individuals who have responded to their calling in ministry. This training program encompasses a broad spectrum of subjects, from theological education that deepens one's understanding of faith to leadership development that equips future leaders with the skills they need. Furthermore, we provide specialized training in children's ministry, ensuring that the youngest members of our faith community receive the best guidance and care.
The notion of church planting, which has been a cornerstone of our vision since 2013, has spurred us into action in various locations. Our expansion plans have stretched across borders, reaching regions such as Ethiopia, Lebanon, and beyond. The global reach of this initiative exemplifies our unwavering commitment to share our message and values with diverse communities worldwide, extending the embrace of our faith to all corners of the earth.
In the year 2022, a significant milestone was reached when we launched a 24/7 prayer movement. This initiative transcends geographical boundaries, bringing people from every corner of the world together in a shared spiritual experience. It's a testament to the power of prayer to unite people in faith and purpose, reinforcing our ongoing commitment to making a positive and lasting impact on our local community and beyond. This movement represents the continued evolution of our organization, as it carries our vision forward into the future, guided by a steadfast commitment to faith, community, and the next generation.
Shaped by decades of experience within God's presence and Biblical knowledge, we affect change by bringing together real-world solutions and building an army of prayer soldiers to build God's kingdom here on earth.
