Transform the globe.

We’re Sozo’s birthplace.

We train, equip, and release Sozo ministers across the globe.

If you share our beliefs, you’ll be a good fit for our internship program:

  • God is good and always working towards our complete wholeness, healing, and freedom.

  • Inner healing and deliverance are keys to reaching our personal destiny.

  • Past wounds often lead to believing lies about God’s nature.

  • Encountering God’s love breaks demonic strongholds and unleashes transformation.

Our team has a broad range of knowledge and skills, so we’re confident each session will give you new ideas and tools for your own ministry! We offer 2 training programs for you to choose from.

We believe there’s always room for growth. That’s why our internship is open to both new and seasoned Sozo ministers.
