 Apostle Eric L. Warren is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Ambassadors for Christ Fellowship (AFCF); His wife Carolyn serves as Co-Pastor and Administrative Elder. Apostle Warren is also the founder and overseer of Ambassador Ministries International, which is a multi-dimensional ministry committed to develop and release apostolic ministries to serve the body of Christ and the marketplace. Both ministry headquarters are located at 2300 South Hamilton Road , Columbus , OH . 43232. Apostle Warren holds degrees in Sociology, Philosophy, and Theology, as well as an Honorary Doctorate degree and has completed the Harvard Divinity School Summer Leadership Institute.
Called and appointed by God as an Apostle, with a strong pastoral and teaching anointing, Apostle Warren is appreciated for his sensitivity to God and keen insight into the Word of God. Having served in ministry for more than three decades, He has been graced by God with a father's heart and the ability to train and develop leaders for effective and excellent service in the Body of Christ. His leadership development class called Tribe of Judah has produced many competent leaders who currently serve the body of Christ with excellence and integrity.
Apostle Warren's new book, “Consider Your Ways: Experiencing God by Discovering His Character” is receiving rave reviews from around the country and abroad. Known himself as a man of integrity, he writes, “God wants to raise up a people who are disciplined to win the spiritual warfare. However, they will have to be a people who walk in His character. They will have to look like Him, think like Him, act like Him, and have His heart as their heart.” And then he adds, “We will know that we possess God's character when we see that we are walking in His ways!”
Apostle Thamo Naidoo has been in the full time ministry for 20 years. He and his wife Mirolyn are graduates of the Bethesda Bible College of the Full Gospel Church of God in South Africa. They have three sons, Theron, Sherwin and Rylan.
He was a fully fledged minister of the Full Gospel Church of God and served in various positions in the denomination until his resignation in 1994.
Thamo and his family were led by the Lord to plant a congregation in Pietermartizburg, South Africa. As a result the River of Life Christian Ministries (ROLCM) was birthed on the 2nd October 1994. The ROLCM has made rapid progress in the last eight years of its existence by developing from a pioneering Church into a strong Apostolic Centre of global repute.
In April 2001 the Lord impressed upon Thamo to launch the Grapevine Apostolic Transformation Enterprise (GATE). GATE is an apostolic resource ministry that focuses on providing the resources and tools for leaders to be trained and upgraded. Its aim is to assist in reprogramming, retooling and restructuring congregations that desire transitioning into the Apostolic Reformation. At present there are regular Apostolic Schools of Ministry hosted by Thamo in South Africa for the training of church leaders. These schools have attracted leaders from many parts of the world.
There is a distinct Apostolic grace upon the life of Thamo. This grace is expressed through a strong pioneering spirit, a radical level of faith, together with a very strong teaching ability.
He travels extensively, both locally, nationally and internationally, speaking at leadership conferences on the necessity for an Apostolic Reformation of the Church as it prepares to function in the Third Millennium. His travels have allowed him to speak at Conferences in Kenya, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Zambia, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, India, West Indies, the United States of America, Alaska, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and New Zealand, The Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Botswana and extensively over South Africa.
