Welcome to our web page.  The Agape Ministry is a non-denominational full-gospel, Holy Spirit fill ministry serving here in the United States, Puerto Rico and abroad, including Kenya.  It's main purpose is to serve as a global church to those that don't have a spiritual leader, and an apostolic covering to pastors and ministries that don't have covering.  Our goals are: 1. To train pastors and church leaders in compassionate listening 
2. Encourage education through our Bible School which offers a degree in Christian Education, acredited through DaySpring Christian University in Florida. 
3.Allow for local meetings with local pastors and leaders for the edification of the churches and
4. To encourage women to become ALL God has called them to be through yearly women conferences. 

The Agape Ministry is a stand-alone ministry, but it's directors are active members of the Seventh Day Baptist Church of Pataskala, OH and are part of the Global Awakening Ministry Network.  It has an advisory Board and a Board of Directors.

OUR VISION
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon us.  Because the Lord has anointed us to preach the good news to the poor; He has sent us to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom of the past.  To open the emotional prison doors to which they are bound.  To comfort all who mourn and give them beauty for ashes.  (Based on Isaiah 61:1-3)

OUR MISSION
With harmony, love, dedication, hard work, and the support of other agencies and ministries we would be the people's preferred agency that brings a smile to every member of the families served locally or abroad.

In accordance with our Vision and Mission Agape Ministry offers:
 
1. Training for  individuals that have a call for short term missions in order to give them the opportunity to travel with us and later become leaders themselves in preparing traveling teams.
2. Covering to independent pastors here and abroad.  We provide a Certificate on Biblical Affairs thru our Agape Ministry Bible School to pastors in Kenya and Uganda to prepare them to better serve their congregation.
3. Conduct Compassionate Listening training for church leaders and health care givers.  A certificate is given at the end of the training.
4. Family or individual Christian based counseling; conduct marriage seminars.
5. Thru Divine intervention, free God's people from the bondage of emotional and physical illnesses, and deliverance from their past.
6.  Conduct women conferences here and abroad, in English and Spanish, encouraging women to"Rise and Shine" because the glory of the Lord is shining upon them.
7.  Active Women's Program here and abroad.
8.  Bible School in Kenya.
