Our vision

Take His presence.

Our vision is to take the divine presence of God to the nations and peoples of the world, and to demonstrate the character of the Spirit.

Through the ministry of Pastor Chris, minister-students are not only instructed in God’s Word but also imparted with divine grace, such that on returning to their churches and ministries, they find themselves teaching the Word of God with great conviction and accurate knowledge, demonstrating the character of the Spirit, healing the sick and casting out devils, and imparting others with the same grace they have received.

Our vision is to take the divine presence of God to the nations and peoples of the world, and to demonstrate the character of the Spirit.
