The Year 2024 - God's Kingdom

Every year, John E. Sagoe (Apostle and founder of NIC) releases a prophetic focus to guide us for the whole year. It is released in our prophetic crossover night on 31st of December.

Our yearly and monthly prophetic focus:

Who we are

Who We Are

“…and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Isaiah 10:27 (KJV)

The heart of John E. Sagoe, respectively of New International Church, is to bring the people out of any bondage in life. Just like Moses brought the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt and took them on a journey of preparation and transformation, which ultimately led them to their promised land.

The mandate of this ministry is to help people heal from hurt and pain, from brokenness in life, from depression and to be delivered, so that they can become all that God actually wanted them to become. Once on the journey of healing and restoration, we are leading people into their calling with the power of God accompanying their gifts.

We love to create an atmosphere where the power of God can flow and His glory is made visible for His people to be set free, filled and empowered. At the same time, we have a call to speak to nations on a global level. We want to see this world changed for the better. Therefore, we are a praying church. We believe in prayer and intercession. And we do a lot of mission work, such as building children homes and schools for the less privileged as well as helping the poor. New International Church is a global movement, called to build kingdom wherever we go, imparting, training and sending out strong leaders to continue in the mission work.

The Call

In 1989 God supernaturally visited John E. Sagoe somewhere in Lagos (Nigeria) in a bus, while he was highly intoxicated with Marijuana. He had an open vision of a mega ministry with thousands of people and God spoke to him and said: “I want you to build this for me!” Immediately he was sober. From Apostle’s John’s conversion, starting with this divine encounter, he was carried into the presence of God, understanding the supernatural better and starting to hear God’s voice, which ultimately led into the prophetic ministry.

He then embarked on a journey for several years where God transformed and prepared him. So he served in Royalhouse Chapel Int. in Ghana under the leadership of Rev Sam K. Ankrah, who became his spiritual father and his prophet. He also went to bible school in South Africa and served there in a Vineyard church and later for a few years even in Vineyard Church Bern in Switzerland. In 2002 the Lord led him to London for a retreat to a mega ministry of several thousand members, where God spoke to him again and said: “Now is the time. Go to Biel, Switzerland and start this ministry I have called you to build.” He came back to Switzerland and started to gather people in Biel. In 2003 the movement was birthed.

Church Structure

New International Church is running a multiple board system on a global and on a local level.

Board 1: The ecclesia, the spiritual eldership board of the church, taking spiritual decisions.

Board 2: The Governmental Board (Association), providing overview over state affairs and church administration initiatives.

Board 3: The taskforce leadership of our 10 pillar system. They are responsible of the direct administration and work to run the ministry.

Our Mission Statement is: “Jesus is Lord, prayer is the key and God’s time is the best to reach the unreached!” This statement is explained underneath in short words, split into the four parts. All of them are equally important and valued in our church.

Reverend Bobby Gyamfi

Bobby K. Gyamfi

Pastor

Rev Bobby Gyamfi had several supernatural activities and encounters in his life, already as a boy. At the age of 10 an angel saved him from the power of pneumonia, when he was dying. Already at an early age God anointed him. A blind pastor did not want to begin his church service if little Bobby was not there to play the Djembe. His drumming was changing the atmosphere and brought the presence of God into the church. Though his mother took him to church, he could not deny his roots from his Dad...

Biography John E. Sagoe (Apostle and Founder NIC Global)

The beginning of Rev Dr. John E. Sagoe can be briefly described as follows: Rev Dr. Sagoes root can be found in a strong Christian family that prayed him into the kingdom when he first refused to follow the call. In September 1989 after a dramatic encounter where his future was at stake he decided to follow Christ. In the following years he built up his faith step by step by serving in the house of God in different places and in all kinds of work like sharing translation headsets, cleaning church premises, driving shuttle service for the church etc.  
In 1996 John was specially ordained and certified as an evangelist by Rev Sam K. Ankrah in Royalhouse Chapel which at that time was called IBWC (International Bible Worship Center).
Striving for excellence he went for deeper Bible studies to Cape Town South Africa to Vineyard Ministry School. He successfully concluded and received his certificate in 1997.  
Besides studying Evangelist John was working as a youth ministry leader. He also worked in the area of logistics of Vineyard Worship in Johannesburg where his field gradually transformed from logistic center to solution center for many people.
Three years later in UK through a clear vision Evangelist John received God’s instruction to build a church for Him in Biel Switzerland. Shortly after that he was installed as a pastor and New International Church was founded in 2003. Only four years later Pastor John Sagoe purchased the first church building for New International Church.

In 2005 his apostolic ministry notably unfolded while touring five cities through the US. Since then he has visited many other nations around the world for the gospels sake.
In 2006 Pastor John was lead by God to organize a chain prayer for the city of Biel. In the same year he received a Doctor degree of Bethel Christian University in Detroit Michigan. Also in 2006 Pastor John was invited by the cantonal police in Bern to speak about the solution for struggles with immigrants. Before 500 police officers Pastor John stated that the church is the only solution to the problem.

In the following years the prophetic mantle on Pastor John Sagoes life got more and more evident. He publicly prophesied natural disasters, catastrophes and called for prayer and shortly after it came to pass just as he said. He pronounced blessings over people and their life never remained the same.
Parallel to that the apostolic grace increased year after year: After a powerful public prophecy to Michel Amani the minister of defense in Ivory Coast in 2009 Pastor John was invited to his private residence. There he boldly told the minister and his Wife to kneel down before him for prayer. Since then many occasions like this happened where business leaders, celebrities and politicians where receiving Pastor John in their office to receive council and blessing. As a prophet to the nations he was able to gather hundreds of pastors and leaders for prayer and got known in Switzerland through prayer conferences, while he was praying on the Swiss parliament house with around 20 other Christians. In 2005 he received a vision to organize a yearly prayer conference for Switzerland called Hour of Encounter Prayer Conference.

In Switzerland Pastor John gained recognition as an eloquent teacher revealing the mysteries of the Word of God and unveiling the Prophetic word.
As a confirmation of the fivefold anointing upon his life signs and wonders follow him wherever he goes.

Currently he is reaching out in the area of church plant to bring healing and to fortify the body of Christ worldwide, especially in Ghana, Switzerland and in the US. His prophetic school is aimed to prepare the churches in the endtime for the return of Jesus Christ. Beside that it is his heartbeat to reach the unreached and the less privileged children.
