Our History
Learn how it all started and how God has helped us
Ephesians 2:20-22
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone.

Apostle Ernest W. Sellers
The Instrument that God used to reveal His Doctrine
During the year 1922 to 1925, he established in Havana, Cuba an important business in Havana Street. Being of a religious background he turned his establishment every night into a Christian meeting center, which later he named it Gideon Mission. From that moment on, Ernest convinced of God’s calling, like Saul of Tarsus, was not rebellious to the celestial vision and accepted the divine calling.
