Meet Brother Mike and Adelle McKinney
Through the invitation of Sis. Leni Buan (Narcisco) and Bro. Eddie Villaneuva, Adelle and Bro. Mike and a team of 13 went to the Philippines in 1979 to conduct their first overseas evangelistic crusade in the city of Bocaue. Each night the power of God fell in the little town plaza and as a result the crusades grew and grew as they travelled to the Philippines year after year.
Bro. Eddie and Sis.
Dory Villanueva, founders of Jesus is Lord Fellowship were ordained by Bro. Mike
as was Sis. Leni Buan. Together, they evangelized the Philippines from
1979-1986.
In 1981, the Lord began to speak to Bro. Mike's heart about forming a team of
ministers who would literally go to reach the nations of the world for Jesus
Christ. Doors were opened to Korea, Malaysia, Guatemala, Mexico, India and
Europe. These pastors and leaders would gather together once a year
to be encouraged and equipped and empower by the Spirit of God for greater
service.
In Honolulu, Hawaii 1982, Bro. Mike hosted our first WORLD FOR JESUS
CONFERENCE. in Honolulu, Hawaii. Pastors came from all over the world and
the power of God shook the hotel were the conference was held. We were
honored to have one of the Foursquare giant's as our special guest, Rev. Gladys
Church a pioneer in the ministry and powerful evangelistic preacher!
It was then that Bro. Mike and Sis. Adelle
made the decision to incorporate the World for Jesus International Fellowship.
As they continued to minister round the world, God blessed them and thousands
were won to the Lord and today, there are literally hundreds around the
world serving the Lord in ministry as a result of their early efforts.
From 1986-1996 the spent their time pastoring and from time to time doing
evangelistic ministry. But it was not yet the
time.
Finally 1999, through a series of prophetic events, the Lord opened the way for
the World for Jesus International Christian Center and Ministries to become
established in Covina, California and as a result the World for Jesus
International Fellowship's original vision was once again placed upon the heart
of Bro. Mike and Sis. Adelle.
Because of their burden for pastors of smaller congregations, the Pastors Network was established 1996 in the San Gabriel Valley. This network has been blessed by the Lord as pastors encourage pastors each and every month. The network has worked together on Revival 2000, the Body of Christ, Reconciliation Meetings, Dedication services, Ordinations services, community events and most importantly of all they pray earnestly for God's blessings for one another!
In the Spring of 1997, the
Valley International Christian Seminary was birth. As part of the vision
of encouraging, equipping and empowering, Bro. Mike felt led to become a
chartered branch of the International Theological Seminary of California to
provide a ministry to assist pastors in obtaining their earned degrees through
the external study program. Since that time, Valley ICS has graduated 27
students.
In the Fall of 2002, God opened the door for Dr. Mike and Adelle McKinney to
establish Promise Christian University with the help of some very special
pastors and friends. Today Promise Christian University is a center for
equipping leaders for the 21st Century.
NOW IS THE TIME. Pastors, Evangelists, Missionaries around
the world are hungry for fellowship, for encouragement and to be a part of an
organization that is balanced, anointed and teaching the pure word of
God.
Applications for membership are available NOW. [Application]

A LITTLE HISTORY:
Michael was a young man headed for show business. At an early age he became
the lead singer for a "rock ‘n roll" group managed by fight promoter
Mickey Davis. At the same time, he won accolades for his performance in little
theater productions. While attending junior college and acting he was seen in a
play. An agent from 20th Century-Fox studios set up a screen test for this young
man who had just turned 20 years old.
While preparing to go to the screen test, the prayers of his parents were beginning to have an effect. He accepted the Lord has his personal Saviour and did not show up for the screen test. He resigned from the band, just prior to their tentative engagement to play in Las Vegas. He gave up his dream of becoming an actor. A few months later, the Lord called him into full-time ministry.
He lost his friends. He lost his opportunity for a show business career. He lost everything except Jesus Christ!
As a young minister, newly ordained he was invited to a Kathryn Kuhlman miracle service at the Shrine auditorium. As she was ministering to the congregation, she stopped and called three older pastors out from the large group of ministers sitting on the platform. And then she continued on in her message. Suddenly she stopped. Her long finger pointed again back to the group of pastors seated behind her. She pointed at Michael. "You young man, come here. I could not continue on. The Lord spoke to my heart that He was going to use you in an unusual way, you’re road will not be easy, but it will be glorious!"
Years later after he and Adelle were married almost seven years, the Lord began to finally reveal to Michael the ministry for which he was called. Just prior to attending a Morris Cerullo World Conference in San Diego, California the Lord appeared to Michael in a vision. At the conference, in prayer in the wee hours of the morning, the Lord spoke these words to him, "Son, with the ministry that I will give you, you cannot confine to the four walls of the church, but I will send thee to the four corners of the earth."
Since that time, Michael and Adelle McKinney have traveled the world conducting crusades, miracle rallies, schools of ministry as the Lord opened the door.
As you listen to the simple yet revelational message of Bro. Mike spoken under the power and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you will begin to receive a deeper revelation of Jesus Christ in your own personal life and direction and encouragement will come. We pray you will be inspired to do more for the Lord Jesus Christ and become stronger and more committed in your Christian walk at home, at school at work and where ever you go!
