THE CALL TO THE NATIONS
PREPARATION FOR THE CALL
Prior to the founding of FReN by Paul & Elisheba Momoh, in June 1998, there was a season of preparation for the Call, 1988-1998; a season of serving Church-leadership, and then serving in pastoral and teaching ministries, over a 10-year period of full-time ministry.
This was a phase of serving and learning, while planting and conducting Bible Schools in the nations and Pastoring both growing and mega churches in West, East, and Central Africa; serving under the leadership and vision of Faith Liberation Hour Ministries.
While nearly completing this phase of obedience and service, the Lord said,
‘you have been faithful in that which is Another’s; step forward and take that which is yours’.
These words were spoken by the Lord to Paul while at Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June 1997, during an early-morning prayer-walk; walking and praying in the spirit. While praying in tongues…those words streamed out of his mouth in English to his utter amazement. While still musing on those words, and while on a team-visit and a God-arranged appointment with Kenneth Hagin Ministries, Kenneth E. Hagin Snr. laid hands and prayed on Paul. While praying in tongues over Paul, he spoke out what became the concluding portion of the words the Lord gave to Paul during that prayer-walk; Rev. Hagin proclaimed-
‘‘Your potential is released!”
THE CALLING
A month later, in July 1997, the Lord unveiled the vision to be pursued. In this dramatic vision, the Spirit of the Lord transported Paul out of his room into the heavenlies, in a lightening speed.
While he was out there, in the serenity of this heavenly place, the Lord stretched forth His hand to him and placed a key in his right hand. Amidst a holy silence, the voice of the Lord sounded out, and commanded him, saying,
“I give unto you this Key, to GO IN AND OUT of the Nations,
teaching my people to take hold of faith. Never fear nor be dismayed; lo, I am with you always”
It was in obedience to this heavenly vision, that Paul and Elisheba Momoh founded Faith Revival for The Nations, FReN; a trans-denominational network of Ministries, devoted to the vision of reaching the nations with the balanced-gospel of the kingdom of God, teaching and imparting obedience to the Faith across the nations.
Today, the scope of the ministries of Paul & Elisheba Momoh (and their 3 ‘missionary-kids’, with whom they continue to travel as a family) as well as that of Faith Revival For The Nations, has spanned across four continents; Africa, Europe, USA, Australia and the Pacific Islands. The advancement of this vision across the nations continues to be facilitated and supported prayerfully and financially by individual Believers in the Body of Christ (and not underwritten by any particular church or denomination) so as to preserve the liberty to work freely with the churches/ministries across denominations, as the Spirit leads.
