Come Serve the Nations with Us!

South Africa May 16th-27th, 2024

Ministry trip with Serve the Nations and School of Kingdom Ministry!

Serve the Nations (STN), led by Brian Blount, and School of Kingdom Ministry (SoKM), led by Daniel Goulet, are partnering together to offer this opportunity for SoKM students and alumni to get hands-on equipping in healing and empowered evangelism on a STN trip to South Africa.

About Brian Blount:
Brian has spent over twenty-five years equipping and training individuals, teams, and churches in Jesus’ mission, message, and ministry in healing and power evangelism, both nationally and internationally. Brian was a part of planting Crestwood Vineyard Church where he has served as senior pastor and currently serves as the head of Serve the Nations, the missions outreach of Crestwood Vineyard. He lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with his wife Jeanine and their six children (including triplets).

Brian is the author of two books on power evangelism entitled From the Sanctuary to the Streets and Putting Jesus on Display with Love and Power. His heart is to equip and empower ordinary, everyday believers and churches to live a lifestyle of putting Jesus on display with love and power. The goal of Serve the Nations is to serve from the local church to the local church.

Brian has been ministering in South Africa since 2013. In each trip since, he and the teams he has taken have seen the kingdom of God break in powerfully! Hundreds and hundreds of people have made decisions for Christ through signs and wonders, healings, and miracles. During these ministry trips, we’ve witnessed the blind seeing, the deaf hearing, the crippled walking, and many other powerful kingdom encounters in the streets, townships, malls, restaurants, beaches, and churches.

These are life-changing trips; you will experience the beautiful people and culture of South Africa, enjoy great food, make lifelong friends, and have lots of fun while being equipped in empowered evangelism and living a lifestyle of putting Jesus on display with love and power.

The uniqueness of these trips lies in the hands-on equipping you will experience. You will have opportunities and training to see the sick healed through your hands and to lead people into the heart of Jesus through the power and demonstration of the gospel. You will also have the opportunity to learn to equip others to do the same.
