Who We Are

    + OUR MISSION

  • + OUR OBJECTIONS

    • To restore biblical truths which have been lost or compromised.

    • To promote intimacy with the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit which is the essence of biblical Christianity.

    • To revive the declining Christian influence that once provided a better quality of life for all.

    • To demonstrate the God kind of love (agape) which identifies us as true members of the Body of Christ.

    • To ignite the flames of revival. To carry the glory of God to the nations.

    + OUR BELIEFS

    • The Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.

    • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    • The deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return to this earth in power and glory.

    • Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for salvation of lost and sinful man.

    • The present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.

    • In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. In the spiritual unity of believers of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    • The only true basis of Christian fellowship is God’s Agape love, which is greater than any differences we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves as Christians.

From the beginning.

The spirit world is as real to Austin de Bourg as the natural world in which we live. His first recollection of life was in the supernatural dimension. At age two, he witnessed the reality of the spirit world when the devil, working through a Satanist in his neighbourhood, tried to eradicate his family in an attempt to kill him before he could grow up and step into his God-given purpose and destiny. Two of Austin's siblings died as a result. He was next in line but Jesus Christ stepped in as his defense and placed His divine covering over Austin's life.

God began to reveal Himself to Austin and introduce him to this supernatural dimension from the tender age of eight. That relationship later grew into a bond of spiritual intimacy with Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit which has gained him the privilege of receiving the truths contained in his books.

Apostle Dr. de Bourg is unique in many ways, possibly because his experiences in God have been unique. From the age of eight, the Lord started to draw him into the woods near his home to reveal His presence to him. It is in the seclusion of those woods that he first learnt brokenness, submission, and humility as he experienced the Father’s consuming presence and Jesus Christ’s love in a deeply personal and unique way.

His background in the supernatural prepared him adequately for ministry. When he was just three years old in the Lord, he confidently erected a compelling sign at a little house on the main road, which became the very first location of Trinidad Christian Center. The sign read, “Bring the Sick! Bring the Drug Addict! Bring the Demon Possessed! Freely ye have received; Freely give!” Every person that came for healing and deliverance received without fail. This was just the beginning.

Early Years of Ministry

His early years of ministry began with a revival which lasted for 5 years. This radically affected the spiritual state of the Church in the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Signs, wonders, miracles and salvation accompanied his preaching and people came from all parts of the nation to experience this new move of God. He first served in the office of the Evangelist from 1977 – 1980, then as Pastor of Trinidad Christian Center, which he founded in May of 1980.

The Journey Continues

The Pastoral decades from 1980 to 2000 were intense front-line experiences, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and teams of ministers were raised up locally and abroad. Today there are few Christians in the nation of Trinidad and Tobago that have not been touched directly or indirectly by his ministry.

In the year 2000, he was appointed to the office of the Apostle by his covering Bishop, Don Meares. In his apostolic call God has sent him to minister, equip, train, and empower ministers in Africa, India, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, and the United States and has mentored some in Austria and the Ukraine.

Education of the Word

Holder of a doctorate in Theology (Th.D.), he has also received two honorary Doctor of Divinity (D.D.) degrees and one honorary Doctor of Pastoral Counselling (DPC) degree.

Further to this, he has been awarded the designation Christian Certified Chaplain (CCC) for the United States of America, Canada and Mexico.

Honour Among Men

Apostle Dr. de Bourg has, over the years, been recognized both locally and abroad for his outstanding contributions to the Body of Christ and is the recipient of a series of awards in recognition of his substantial life’s achievements in his over 35 years of effective ministry.

Additionally, in February 2016, he was conferred the distinction of Kingdom Ambassador, an honor bestowed upon him by Word of Life Ministries International, an NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council to the United Nations (ECOSOC). In June 2016 he was nominated International Pastor of the Year by the Canadian Christian Theological Seminary Canada in collaboration with its associate Bodies in Russia, Korea, and Africa.

A true father of the faith, Apostle Dr. Austin de Bourg’s worldwide ministry affects lives and brings change wherever he preaches the word of God and is considered a father to many. Thousands have been impacted by his general benevolence: his love, care, and compassion for the less privileged. He continues to influence lives and bring change wherever he goes.
