Sitting on the fourth pew one Sunday service in 1995, as vividly as yesterday, I remember the vision that God gave me. The vision was in four distinct parts..

I heard an audible voice within my spirit, telling me to turn around and look at all the men in the church. Then the Lord asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “Lord, I see men that are confused, sad and very distant from you.”

The Lord then asked, “Do you know why?”

The Holy Spirit gave me the answer in my heart and I answered, “Lord they are troubled, worried, financially burdened, unemployed and lacking self-esteem.”

Then the Lord gave me four major missions to carry and implement. From that moment on, His words burned in me, “This desire and fire I birthed into you will never stop until you see this vision fulfilled. You and future generations to come will enjoy the fruits of your labor for Me. I will send you a few faithful men who will never leave you and will stand with this vision. They will have the same desire to serve broken men, to unite them and to speak My words into their lives. Wat1ch out for that one Judas who will be around to bring in confusion and division. You must exercise with authority, prudence and wisdom. Be on your guard at all times You are called to be a Watchman on the wall.”

To bring UNITY to all denominations that are under the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and break those religious barriers which have bound us and separated all of our brothers for so many generations.

Gather all men under one umbrella as Men of God. Encourage them to seek God’s face for a deep relationship with Christ. To know one another, to love each other as brothers in Christ. Stand strong with their Pastors, Leaders and their Church.

Mending broken relationships with immediate families and church families, pastors and ministers from different churches. Breaking down the barriers and bondage stemming from misunderstandings, pride, ego, control and self-righteousness.

I heard in my spirit the Lord speaking these words to me, “You will be an instrument to bring about unity among my ministers, that I will make a place where you would be used to love them and through the Holy Spirit demonstrate the unity of the Trinity.”

The Lord has promised to BLESS the unity of His people.

Lastly, gather business men, professionals, artists and all those with special gifts and talents that they will help each other and other Christians by creating and providing employment, business ventures, promoting Christian enterprise within the community. This will bring about financial freedom, self-sufficiency and a feeling of self-esteem in every broken man.  There will be a fullness in worship as well as growth in the kingdom and complete focus to serve The One and Only One Mighty God – JESUS CHRIST!

Now we can go out and reach the world, the needy, the hungry, the naked, the homeless and share the gospel to the lost. We are all called to be a witness to the world, be a light, and the salt that will affect all around us for Jesus Christ. With all denominational barriers broken, brotherly love to build each other for God’s kingdom, you stand as a strong army with the Lord of Hosts as your Captain.

In a simple statement: This is God’s Vision and His heart to see that all His Men wake up and take their God given place as the Priest of their homes, watchman to their families and churches, a servant willing to serve, a loving and honest, husband, a responsible father, a brother, a willing son to be “Men of Integrity.”

That was how this Vision began to become a reality. It is my deep and sincere desire to see that all men come to the saving grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; to know who He really is All this was a confirmation when ICA (Industrial Christian Association) was birthed in India in the year 1998. Within a span of four months we had 74 strong business men who were all professionals from various denominations making God’s vision a reality. Continuing the journey here in Long Island we are called as MOI “Men of Integrity”.
