ACHIEVING RESULTS THROUGH:- Leadership and Teamwork
- Commitment to the cause of Christ and our partners
- Innovation in reaching the unreached and retaining the harvest
- Partnership at home and abroad
OUR METHODS
- Mass Evangelism Crusades
Although many African cities have Christianity in them, a high percentage of them are (nominal) Christians that do not believe in being BORN AGAIN. According to John 3:3, if one is not Born Again he is NOT SAVED. They MUST come to Jesus to get to heaven. In most African cities only a small percentage of the population is saved.
We understand these people groups and know how to move them to Christ. Our crusades draw a big percentage of the people in the cities where we preach with God confirming His Word with many mighty miracles.
It is Scriptural to preach to the MULTITUDES. Jesus did in Matthew 4:25 and many other instances. Jesus said, “the works that He did should we do also.”
Acts 2:6 The Apostle Paul PREACHED TO ENTIRE CITIES at one time.
We work with local pastors in the cities. They retain the harvest of souls we reap.
We are NOT ECUMENICAL. We only work with pastors who believe in being Born Again and believe the Bible as the final authority for God's Word.
- Village Ministry
- EVANGELIZATION
Going deep into the interior of Africa where the Gospel has never reached to tell them about God's plan for their life through His Son Jesus Christ.
- BUILDING VILLAGE CHURCHES
We have partnered with PEFA, the EAPC, and The Full Gospel Churches of Kenya and other Bible believing churches of Tanzania and the Congo to provide trained Pastors and Bishops to oversee these new works.
We pre-fabricate the churches so they can be put up quickly on location. We have our truck and access to three other trucks to carry them to the villages.
Fact:
In East and Central Africa at least 95% of the people have NO ELECTRICITY.
SATELLITE WILL NEVER REACH THESE PEOPLE! We must do what Jesus said to do in Mark 16:15-16 and GO!
Most of the INTERIOR of East and Central Africa has NEVER HAD THE GOSPEL because of the difficulty of travel; the harsh living conditions; the disease; and dangers from animals and people.
WE ARE WELL EQUIPPED TO GO INTO THE INTERIOR.
We have the experience, the toughness, the dedication, the willingness to live in tents and eat a bland diet; the team, and the power of God to go after people in these villages and set them free.
WE UNDERSTAND THE TRIBAL CULTURES.
We relate well to the primitive tribes, saving WHOLE VILLAGES AT one TIME and spending MUCH TIME TO RETAIN OUR HARVEST.
- EVANGELIZATION
- Ministers Seminars
Most pastors have little or no Bible training. Many are confused in their doctrines. We teach the pastors SOUND BIBLE DOCTRINE. Loren has also written a Bible School Curriculum to leave with the Pastors.
- Food For Famine Stricken Areas
We have a large truck, plus three other large trucks AVAILABLE TO US to carry out this phase of our mission. We also bring in clothing, all of course at NO CHARGE.

WE ARE FOLLOWING IN JESUS' FOOTSTEPS: GIVING PEOPLE THE BREAD OF LIFE BY PREACHING THE GOSPEL, TEACH THEM SOUND BIBLE DOCTRINE, FEEDING THE HUNGRY and CLOTHING THE NAKED. WE THANK GOD FOR THE PRIVILEGE.
WE ARE GOD'S RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE
- SPEED
At the present little or no effort is being made to reach the Interior of Africa. There are multitudes dying in defeat from war, drought, and disease. Malaria, Aids, Famine, and wars are wiping out millions.
How will they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:17
If we are passive we will lose the harvest!
- SATURATION
Being thorough, not missing any villages that have not been reached with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- HOLD CONQUERED TERRITORY
Build churches in the villages and leave them competent pastors and overseers that they have a network of support to draw from.

BACKGROUND
His father R.L. Davis, founded, pastored, and built many churches; was a tent evangelist and helped found Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship. His mother, Clara Mae McGowan Davis, was a great preacher in her own right. She wrote the popular book AZUSA STREET TIL NOW documenting the move of the Holy Spirit in the 1906 revival. Loren's McGowan grandparents received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost at Azusa Street. His grandmother McGowan was a leader turning the Holiness movement towards the move of the Holy Spirit.
Loren is one of three boys, all ministers. BURNIE, was a powerful and successful missionary evangelist in Latin America and India. He has gone to be with the Lord. GERALD is a dynamic Bible teacher and is in great demand in churches all across the nation. Loren graduated from Vanguard University in Southern California with a B.A. in Social Science, and a minor in Anthropology and Bible.
From the age of 12 he read a chapter every day in the Bible until he was 22. After that for six years he read or listened to a Book a day in the Bible every day.
Loren is a Professional Pilot with these ratings: private, commercial, instrument and multi-engine.
In college Loren was healed of Sugar Diabetes. In 1994 he was healed of Facial Paralysis. In 1995 he was healed of Malaria in Africa.
He survived a plane crash in his DC-3 in 1996. Their testimony has been on the 700 Club.
Celeste survived an attack and beating by a gang in 1997 in Africa.
In 1998 Loren was healed of TB.
ANOTHER PLANE came in 1997 as the Lord miraculously provided them with Chariot of Fire II, a Cessna 206 bush plane lovingly named Beauty for Ashes. He and Celeste survived a terrible Storm in their plane in November 2000.
Celeste is a teacher, preacher, and an author of many books about their African life together. She is also a singer and compliments the anointing of the evangelist.
LOREN AND CELESTE have had their metal TESTED BY FIRE and NOTHING HAS STOPPED THEM.
In 16 years of ministry they have built 52 churches, evangelized in 5 African countries plus Hong Kong, India, Central America and the Caribbean.
They have raised up Pastors and Teachers that are standing today because of their commitment to the Word of God in ministry to others.
They are well equipped with their CESSNA 206 airplane; 7 ton 4x4 IVECO DIESEL TRUCK; AN ALUMINUM PLATFORM (24'X32'X7'); a 10,000 WATT P.A. System; a 40,000Watt lighting System, a 60 KVA GENERATOR, 48,000 WATTS; and their TEAM. This ministry is ready for the fields in the 21st Century.
(This equipment was provided by the generous and loving support of our partners for the purpose of Evangelizing Africa.)
OUR FUTURE PLANS
- Go deep into the Congo, which has been closed by
war for many years to preach crusades in cities.
- Evangelize 20 villages and build 20 churches in unreached
areas of Africa.
FIVE YEAR GOAL:
- Evangelize as many cities, small towns, and villages in the Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda as possible. They are believing God to open up the Sudan and other North African countries to the ministry.
- Evangelize and build 100 churches in 100 unreached villages.
WE NEED YOU
We carry out this call of God in a professional and businesslike manner with a professional accountant keeping our books.
Where will people spend ETERNITY, HEAVEN OR HELL?
They can only choose in THIS LIFE.
WILL YOU LET US USE OUR BIG COMBINE TO GET THE HARVEST FOR YOU? We have the equipment, the Call of God, and the experience to do the job.
DON'T LOSE THE HARVEST!
WILL YOU PARTNER WITH US to REACH PEOPLE WITH THE GOSPEL?
As an investor in CHI what benefits do you expect?
- First of all, “You will be laying up treasures in Heaven” which Christ admonished us to do. Matthew 6:20
You will know when you meet the Lord that you obeyed and did your part of fulfilling Christ's Great Commission, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to Every creature.” Mark 16:15 The Bible promises us REWARDS in heaven for our works. Rev. 11:18; 22:12
The Bible says, “How will they hear without a preacher, and how can they go unless they are sent.” Romans 10:14-15
As a partner this would definitely qualify you as a SENDER.
When we see Jesus, according to the Bible, He will say, “..Well done thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful in a few things, now you will be ruler over much!” Matthew 25:21
It is a GOOD FEELING knowing you have made a difference in someone's life for eternity.
That in itself would be benefit enough, but that is NOT ALL!
Jesus said, No man hath left house, brethren, sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he SHALL receive an hundred fold NOW in THIS TIME…” Mark 10:29-30
The word says, “The LIBERAL SOUL shall be made fat…” Proverbs 11:25
“With the same measure you mete out, It shall be meted unto you” Luke 6:38
In Malachi 3:10-11, God says, “PROVE ME with your tithes and OFFERINGS, and see if I won't open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that there is not room enough to receive it.”
A farmer SOWS SEED out of HIS NEED. He NEEDS a HARVEST.
We GIVE out of our NEED, BECAUSE We NEED a HARVEST.
We NEED a Harvest of SOULS for the Kingdom of God; and a personal harvest of FINANCIAL MIRACLES.
It's hard to beat a deal where what one invests will BENEFIT him in THIS life as well as the life to come.
Investing in this ministry will give you a MAXIMUM RETURN ON SOULS for heaven.
WILL YOU BECOME ONE TODAY?
We know from God's Word that it is
HIS WILL for all people to hear about Christ.
- WE NEED your HELP with Strong Backing and Strong Prayer
