It All Began at Orama…
In January 1977, something significant began at Orama.
That year, Jack, and Dorothy Winter, with their oldest daughter Kris, came to Orama, where they met James and Denise. That same summer of 1977, James and Denise, who were Bible school students at Orama, attended the summer conference. As they listened to Jack Winter minister, they were deeply impacted by the depth of anointing they encountered through his ministry. During one of the meetings, as Jack was ministering, James heard Father speak to his heart, calling him to be “a Joshua” to Jack to position his heart as a son, to embrace the ministry that Jack and Dorothy carried and to preach as Jack preached.
Through that encounter, a profound revelation of the love of the Father began to take root in James and Denise’s lives. What began as a revelation of the Father’s heart and, more importantly, that His love can be imparted became a journey that would eventually touch thousands of lives around the world the world.
A Journey of Revelation
Dorothy Winter invited James and Denise back to the US, to stay with them in one of their ministry location in Indiana, where Jack and Dorothy also lived. This became an important beginning in their journey into the revelation of the Father’s love.
1998 — Fatherheart Ministries
Twenty-one years later, James and Denise gave expression to the revelation that had been growing in their lives and ministry especially when others wanted to be part of their ministry by naming it Fatherheart Ministries.
2006 — The First ‘A’ School
In 2006, Fatherheart Ministries launched its first six-day ‘A’ School in the United Kingdom. This became an important expression of the Fatherheart message and helped establish a pattern that would spread to many nations.
Today — A Global Family
Over the years, the ministry has grown into a worldwide community, with the revelation of the Father’s love reaching people in more than 60 nations through schools, conferences, churches, relationships and personal ministry.
