Transforming Lives,
Establishing Dominion.
Building an army of saints with great character and integrity who will live a victorious life.
1992
A vision received
The vision was received in 1992. Over time, its purpose became clearer: to raise people of great character and influence through the ministry in North America and the nations of the world.
The source records a mandate received on August 30, 2012 to start a base work and raise an indomitable and formidable army of saints with character and integrity who will pray, prevail and live a life of dominion in Christ.
The owner source describes Dominion Word Ministries and The Ascendancy Church as connected expressions of this ministry. It does not establish a Woodstock founding date or a legal organizational structure.
