Spirit & Truth Global, Inc. began in 2018 under a simple conviction: that believers who are hungry to grow deeper in their walk with God deserve a dedicated space for the kind of intentional formation that turns disciples into disciple-makers.

Originally launched as E3 Ministries, the organization was founded by Bristan and Latondra Heaven — ordained and commissioned into ministry by their spiritual parents, Rev. Courtney Richards and Rev. Beverly Henley, who continue to provide accountability and oversight. From the beginning, it was built around intentional discipleship that moves people from consumers to ministers. It's genuine formation that produces people who know who they are, walk in their calling, and can bring others along.

That conviction has driven everything we do. We believe followers of Christ are meant to grow — from spiritual infancy into genuine maturity — and that maturity is measured by how closely a person is being conformed to the image of Christ through the work of the Holy Spirit. Walking in your calling and equipping others are the natural outflow of that. You cannot consistently produce what you have not become. And you can't become and not consistently produce the fruit that evidences it.

Over the years we have also found ourselves repeatedly in conversation with pastors and church leaders who want to build a stronger culture of discipleship in their churches but are not sure how to get there. The desire is real. The people are there. What is often missing is a clear framework and the practical tools to actually develop and equip the people they lead. We are now making it an official part of what Spirit & Truth Global does — coming alongside church leaders to help them establish intentional discipleship as a way of life in their congregations, so the people they lead are genuinely formed and not just informed.

The Apostolic Equipping Center is the primary expression of our mission — a relational discipleship community where believers are not just taught but genuinely formed and equipped for the work of the Gospel ministry. Through consistent engagement, personal accountability, and real ministry assignments, participants develop into mature, mission-ready leaders who are prepared to bring others along. As the ministry moves forward, our primary focus is the next generation — young adults — who are spiritually serious but often find themselves without a real place to grow in the context of authentic community. We welcome anyone who is ready to do the work, but this is the generation we are most intentionally building toward.

Spirit & Truth Global is not a church and is not trying to be one. We come alongside the local church, not in place of it. Participants are encouraged and expected to remain connected to and planted in a local church body. What we provide is a focused equipping environment that some churches are not resourced or structured to offer consistently, and we have no interest in competing with what God has already established.

We are currently building that community here in Central Florida, with plans to create local and national ministry opportunities for those we are equipping — putting real assignments in front of real people as part of their development. We are also extending our reach internationally, beginning with the Caribbean in 2027 and expanding to other regions and nations as leaders are raised up and ready to carry it.

Our Vision: To be a trusted equipping environment where the next generation of believers are formed, activated, and deployed as mature Kingdom disciple-makers locally, nationally, and globally.

Our Purpose: To be a catalyst in addressing the growing gap between belief, community, and maturity within the body of Christ.

Our Mission: To equip the saints for the work of the ministry through intentional community and discipleship, preparing them for effective Kingdom impact.
