INTERNATIONAL MINISTERS FELLOWSHIP

YEARLY EVENT

The Church is Better and Stronger Together

The International Ministers Fellowship

are organisers of the OPEN GATES.

Mission Statement: “We are a living, loving network of like-minded ministers of the gospel who share a passion for intimacy with the Lord and genuine relationship with each other for accountability in an increasingly hostile world”.

Open Gates is convened by the Lord as a prophetic prayer convocation. It is a time when these transactions take place in the ambience of resting in the Lord and freeing the mind of all conferees of worries and anxieties.

We demonstrate the fact that Jesus is the only personality that matters in the Church, so we gather unto Him and His Kingdom and not unto human beings.

The Church is best expressed when the whole Body is functioning as a living, loving organism. For this reason, God will be speaking through various vessels and ministering the grace of God deposited into them by the Holy Spirit as well as receiving from others. We believe that during this period, every yoke will be broken and saints will leave the conference fully refreshed to do exploits. Luke 1: 74.75.

In this atmosphere, we will receive the fullness of the mind of God for the New Year as snippets of the whole are released through various vessels so that conferees will have a complete picture of what God is saying in the now.

As we pray together and wage spiritual warfare, gates are lifted prophetically so that the King of Glory may pass through.

As we prophetically hold the King of Glory in the hem of His garments, we pass through all the months of the year with Him. Psalm 24:7-10.

We prophetically align ourselves with the purpose of God that we enter into His rest and will be blessed by grace and favour rather than hard labour! Hebrews 4:1-10.

By shutting off the world for 3 full days at the beginning of every year while we tune in to what God is saying, we charge our spiritual batteries to cruise through the year free of pressure and crises.

Open Gates is a platform for genuine agape love of brethren demonstrated as we enjoy the presence of the Lord and each other in worship, over meal times and in informal meetings! Open Gates offers extreme global networking opportunities. Saints will connect with Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Market Place Ministers and Supportive Ministers from all nations. Destinies will be connected and the relationships forged will be developed thereafter to enable all participants to fulfil their Acts 1:8 global, regional and local mandates.

In the process, the network which brings us together, International Ministers Fellowship is strengthened to fulfil its God given mandate.
