Demonstrating humility by our posture of praise.
Instilling power in the atmosphere to create and perfect ourselves as the bride of Christ, honorable and ready for our groom Jesus Christ.
Respect for the rights, differences, and dignity of others in the body of Christ.
We purpose to live in honesty and integrity in all dealings.
Conscientious pursuit of excellence in one’s work.

2 Cor. 6 states

"As God’s co-workers, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. For he says,“In the time of my favor, I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.”

I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. Therefore, Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” And,“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

OUR HISTORY

01

/ OUR ROOTS

Started by visionary (Ann Ridgle) and a few faithful Prophets and modern day Apostles from a single post via Facebook. This mission has become a consuming fire igniting all who consider our convictions deeply. When presented with error one can either shrink from the hostility of indifference or forge into the realm of action where few dare to go. We are called to action, by our willing desire to see God's Kingdom assignments completed in their entirety. By holding up the arms of our modern day Moses, and restoring the faith and dignity to the lost apostolic ministry. We are becoming the very image and likeness of Jesus Christ's Church as begin by the Apostle Peter. This symbol and conviction are seen in our motto and ministry emblem where you see the eagle picking up Peter's mantle (the Church) and carrying her into destiny. Joel chapter 2 is our mandate/commission for success and marching orders.

Our Mission

Gather, Disciple, and Serve the Saint's (Gatekeepers) around the world; find their gate, organize their post and serve the nations. We are gathering every member in God's army, to mandate their post. Gates are entry points from which the world is viewed. Join us as we take a Holy, Bold, Stand for Christ.

We are gathering the priests and returning them to their rightful position within the local church and the world. We are a church without walls. A living breathing organism, with a commission to see God's people prepared for the battle and equipped to accomplish the will of God.

/ HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

02

Historically, we know that gatekeepers are found in the old testamnet as watchers of God's Holy Temple. We believe our modern day Gatekeepers are all believers called to a post within God's Kingdom. For example, you can be a gatekeeper over media, cities, regions, people and GOd's presence.

We're called to accomplish this mandate of restoring the gatekeepers in our generation. The revelation of the GATE was given to our founder in late 2014 through the study of Joel chapter two. Orginally our founder began working with students in 2008 in a University Without Walls, after which the Father called her to establish a distinct training place for other ministers "Gatekeepers University" which is now launched.

Our Inspiration is JESUS!

Therefore, Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out”. John 10: 2, 3, 8, 9, NIV

/ THE FUTURE

03

Great 2023 Expectations & Beyond

GKIU is re-positioning, recharging and reconnecting for the heavenly mandate to Gather, Disciple and Serve those in worldwide ministry.

This year we will be focusing on education as our ministry teams are growing and preparing for service. We've created courses to allow them to function effectively in the sphere of international missions and church restoration. As we begin to set global alliances with other ministries, we've found the need for apostolic involvement to be astonishing. The cry from the nations is great. We've begun this university to persuade the opportunity of forthcoming events to allow for the full manifestation of the greater works, which Jesus promised in John 14.
