Why international apostolic and prophetic ministry
Upcoming apostolic and prophetic ministry in Europe and Asia is sparking spiritual revival and reformation. God is restoring foundational Christian principles and empowering believers to advance God's Kingdom through apostolic-prophetic ministry. In both regions, apostolic ministry focuses on building up strong, biblically-rooted and anointed churches and equipping leaders with vision for revival and societal change and using their God-given authority, while prophetic ministry encourages believers to do spiritual warfare, hear God's voice and respond to His direction.
The partnering of these wings or ministries play a crucial role in countering secularism in Europe and overcoming spiritual challenges in Asia. Together, these anointings are revitalizing the church, inspiring bold faith, and fostering movements that is transforming communities and igniting revival across both continents.

"I have had the privilege of being involved in the launch and development of many ministries through people and organizations throughout the years. I was not focussing on being seen, I felt led to focus on the one person the Lord led me to serve with everything I had to offer. Whether help leaders initiate prayer movements, engaging in territorial spiritual warfare, or spiritually coaching and leading ministry, business or political leaders, I believe we need to be strategic as leaders of leaders. God is at work establishing His Kingdom and reign in nations, and we are committed to being a part of that mission through supporting the ones He has chosen for that task. Whoever that may be."

Dare to be foolish
Dare.
It’s a word we often associate with bravery, with grand deeds, or with facing fear. But when Paul writes about daring in 2 Corinthians 11:20-21, he does so with an almost ironic undertone:
“Whatever anyone else dares to boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare to boast about.”
What does he mean here?
Daring means showing courage, having confidence, or taking a bold step. Here, Paul dares to show vulnerability. He doesn’t compare himself out of arrogance but to highlight that true daring lies in staying faithful to your calling, even if it makes you appear weak in the eyes of others. He refuses to be lured by shallow displays of power. Instead, he chooses to embrace his weakness because it is precisely there that God’s strength becomes visible.
As a spiritual leader, you often find yourself in tension. The world around us demands certainty, success—however that might be measured—and visible results. But the calling of a leader in God’s Kingdom requires a different kind of daring. It asks for the courage to be vulnerable, to go against the current, and to openly acknowledge your dependence on God.
Daring doesn’t mean always being strong. It means daring to embrace your weakness. It means having the honesty to admit your struggles and limitations. It means trusting in God’s strength, even when you have no idea how to move forward yourself.
