Our Story

The name first started as God’s vessels back in 2014 when I was reading my bible on a faithful morning. Years before then, I have gotten a clear message from the Lord that I would be a pastor to Him for His glory. So, the name was kept until the appointed time.

When I came to Canada in 2017, my Lord Holy Spirit led me to start a bible study group. This group started in 2018 in my living room in Lachine Quebec with 5 people including me and later grew to about 15 people but fluctuated between 5 and 10 members in attendance for the bible study.

The advent of covid 19 disrupted the gathering together and so, we moved online, and this gave opportunity to new members outside Canada totalling our number to 28.

On December 18, 2021, we officially became incorporated as a non- profit religious organization and since then been operating. We also registered as an extra provincial nonprofit organization situate in Edmonton Alberta.
