The
ARMI is an Apostolic network of churches, ministries, and leaders in
voluntary covenant together to fulfill the biblical mandates to proclaim the
gospel of Jesus Christ and to equip, empower and build up His Body, The Church.
Moving under apostolic authority, ARMI is dedicated to lifting up and strengthening
the arms of those in ministry. Our objective is to raise up an army; an apostolic
company of believers in voluntary covenant relationship fulfilling their prophetic
destinies.
We operate based on apostolic authority, the five-fold ministry of Jesus Christ,
restoration of divine order, and the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit.
We invite you to prayerfully consider covenanting with this mighty, moving,
motivating, army of believers.
One of the goals of ARMI is to be an organization wherein ministers can share
their ministry experience, spiritual knowledge and resources, and as a result
sharpen one another in the kingdom of God.
Our History
For years Apostle Johnson has been approached by many individuals indicating
a desire to be in relationship with her as a mentor, pastor, bishop, overseer,
accountability person, counselor, prayer partner, spiritual mother and many
other roles. Serving in each of those capacities in addition to full time
Pastor of the Sumpter Community Church of God, she began to inquire of the Lord
concerning what was happening in that season of her ministry and what these
things meant. It was then that the the Lord spoke to her and said, "I
have called you to be an apostle!"
Accepting the call, Apostle Johnson began a quest to understand its full implications.
She has since progressed from the call to the commission resulting in her ceremonial
ordination to the Office of Apostle in February 2003 by Apostle Corletta J.
Vaughn, Founder of Go Tell It Ministry Worldwide Network of Churches.
The seed to empower and impart to members of the Body of Christ through relationship
had already been planted in Apostle Johnson and The ARMI Network (pronounced
ARMY) was birthed. This name is significant in that it represents the
prophetic call of the Holy Spirit for His end times mission. The dictionary
describes an army as a body of people organized for war; a great number; a body
of persons organized to advance a cause. Our cause is the restoration of divine
order and the establishment of Antioch churches to impact nations.
Officially established in 2003, ARMI--Antioch Restoration Ministries International--Network
uses the biblical model of the church at Antioch in the book of Acts.
Apostle Johnson's heart to develop a network which would provide three essential
elements: covenant, covering and connection; has already expanded beyond North
America to Africa. These relationships are extended to those called to
be in the fivefold ministry, pastors outside of fivefold ministries, Para church
ministries, and leaders who desire apostolic oversight and accountability.
As a result of the revelation God has given her and obedience to the call, those
under Apostle Johnson's leadership have received apostolic impartation transforming
them into an apostolic company of believers.
The Vision
The ARMI is an international network that serves leaders by equipping, training
and developing them to restore Antioch Ministries in communities, regions, and
territories both nationally and globally.
The Mission
The ARMI Network exists as an international network to provide apostolic oversight,
accountability and structure to new church plants, fivefold Ministers, Para
church ministries, pastors, churches and leaders who voluntarily align and covenant
with the network for the purpose of advancing The Kingdom of God.
