Ministry Perspective With Catholics

1) To see the greatest harvest of Catholic-born people worldwide come to Jesus (1-billion Soul Harvest).

2) To work together with Born Again Catholics in evangelism and missions.

3) To bring the Father’s heart in forgiveness and reconciliation.

4) To live out Revival globally.

5) To experience Jesus’ desire for Christian Unity - Unity in Diversity.

Ministry Passion

A deep hunger to be part of God’s plan that the world would be absolutely filled with the Glory of God (Hab  2:14). To also experience a global revival where all nations hear the good news of Jesus before his glorious return (Mark 16:15). To witness the Kingdom of God coming upon all flesh with powerful signs wonders and miracles (Acts 2:17).
