Equipping the Church. Advancing the Kingdom. Making ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Birthed at Zion Gate
An encounter became a commission.
Zion Gate Ministries was birthed out of an encounter with the Lord at Zion Gate in Jerusalem. The Lord commissioned us to release the prophetic word of the Lord over individuals, churches, cities, and nations.
Our vision is to call forth the prophetic destiny in this generation and equip them through revelatory teaching, preaching, and discipleship.
Zion Gate represents a heavenly point of access: Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the assembly gathered around His throne. We desire to hear the counsel of Heaven and prepare an earthly people in whom the Word, presence, government, and glory of God may rest.
