THE FOUNDERS OF KINGDOM CULTURE

"Breaking down cultural barriers that divide us.”

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and the One who is God-with-us! It is with great pleasure that we welcome you all to Kingdom Culture "Gathering of Nation across Cultural Boundaries" convening in Johannesburg, South Africa. March 7-18, 2025. Lady Jennifer and myself have an innate sensitivity to bring people of diverse ethnicities together. With this sensitivity, a burden has been placed on our hearts to see Revelations 7:9-10 exemplified with in the body of Christ.

(“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." KJV).

This bibical text demonstrates the heart of Kingdom Culture, and gives light that transcultural worship should exist among us. We are not advocating that we all abandon our country’s natural birth cultures, but diversity adds a greater pool of resources and gifts to the body of Christ. The culture of the Kingdom of God is the one culture to which all believers belong, but not all necessarily practice unity of the spirt. The tendency is to rather follow the cultures of this world. Paul says it this way: "All who have been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him. There is no longer Jew or Gentile …..." (Gal 3:27-28) culture should no longer be a division among followers of Christ, we now belong to a higher unique "culture", the one that transcends all cultures.

Finally, we belive that we are called to be diverse reproducers that promote racial and cultural harmony. Empowering individuals and families to discover healthy perceptions of themselves, strengthening their relationships with God and others, will transform into the unity of the Spirit that is transferred to our local communities domestically, internationally and across the globe. Our passion is to eradicate those racial and culture stereotypes that still exist that keep us divided by demonstrating the power of love, hope and faith.

“May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 14:5-6).
