Oversight

Our oversight and accountability is Christian International Network of Churches (CI). CI is a group of ministries dedicated to helping the Body of Christ fulfill our God-given destiny. It’s vision to play a vital role in the bringing the restoration of prophets and apostles to the Church, is based upon Acts 3:20-21: “and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.” This restoration of “everything” includes the restoration of apostles and prophets to the Church to take their place alongside evangelists, pastors, and teachers. Together these “five-fold” ministers will equip the believers for the work of the ministry (Eph. 4:11-12).

Dr. Bill Hamon is the Bishop of Christian International in Santa Rosa, FL. Leonard and Janet were ordained by him in 1996 and were assigned to Apostle Leon Walters, from CI Family Worship Center in Versailles, IN as our pastor/Apostle and regional oversight. Dr. Jim Davis has been appointed by Bishop as the Apostle over the Network of Churches. He and Apostle Leon make themselves available to us and have been instrumental in helping us establish the work of God in this territory. We were assigned in the fall of 2005 by Bishop Hamon and Apostle Leon to give oversight to a CI Ministers Life Group which meets every other month at River of Life. We are committed to working together with other ministries to advance the Kingdom of God in this territory.

There are four major anointings that flow through Christian International. As members of this church, you can expect these anointings to operate in your lives.

1. Full restoration, activation, and recognition of the Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers and Evangelists

2. Reproducing – Teaching, training, and activating the saints for the work of the ministry

3. Family – Dr. Hamon and his entire family are in ministry together. CI churches are strong family churches. Thank God for it! Your family will come into alignment. God is concerned about the family. Remember, He made the family before He made the church!

4. Praise that silences the enemy. Bishop Hamon calls this “warfare praise.”
“From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” (Psalm 8:2)

Dr. Hamon prophesied the Saints Movement over 15 years ago as the next great move of God. He believes in market place ministers and that most of the ministry will take place outside of the church by the saints. That is why there is a strong anointing at River of Life to teach, train, and activate the saints for the work of the ministry. It is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Living God!
