Equipping & Empowering You
for Life in God’s Kingdom
for Life in God’s Kingdom
What we do and why
We realized Jesus had given His followers the same authority He had—first the 12, then the 72 “others”, and to His church as seen in the Book of Acts. Plus we believe, “if we can do it so can you.” In short, this led us to begin Kingdom Ministries in 1999 to begin equipping others in prayer and a unique approach to ministry to lead others to salvation, freedom, and healing through Christ to advance His Kingdom.
In 2004 Joan joined Keith to begin our Counseling Center where we integrate prayer ministry and professional counseling services to help others heal and find freedom through the power of Christ and the counsel of His Holy Spirit.
