“We began to dream about a people who could come and grow together in the reality of the Father and be transformed by His love.”
– James & Denise Jordan

An Invitation from James and Denise Jordan

James and Denise Jordan, founders of Fatherheart Ministries, started running the INS in 2008. Since then, many have come to experience more of the love of the Father at the INS.

INS – The Birth of a Vision

Romans 8:19,22 describe all of creation labouring as in the pains of childbirth for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed – All of Creation, One Goal, sons and daughters.

We believe that the world is going to see His sons and daughters rising up out of every nation of the earth, conformed to the likeness of Jesus (Romans 8:29), naturally reflecting the character and nature of Father, and realizing His will. Then, when the nations look into the eyes of His sons and daughters they will see Father looking back at them and truly there’s no defense against His love and compassion. This is our dream as we journey together with Father at the INS.

The INS – The Journey of Sonship is about the heart and the head. On the one hand it’s about a deeper, personal experience of God as Father, on the other it’s about exploring and laying strong Biblical foundations and understanding in key areas. Together this beautiful blend of experience and Biblical wisdom will naturally flow from and through us.

INS – A Rich Heritage

Every year in September, a boat with 60 students from all over the world lands on the shores of Orama on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. They have come to join the INS – The Journey of Sonship. What has made them decide to literally travel to the end of the world?

​Not many are aware of the incredible rich heritage of this remote community centre in the New Zealand wilderness. Both YWAM and Fatherheart Ministries have their origins here, having touched thousands of lives all around the world. Those who have joined the INS in previous years can testify that today, Orama continues to be a place of new beginnings.

​James and Denise Jordan, Founders of Fatherheart Ministries, have spent many years at Orama calling it ‘their second home’. Listen to the video below to hear their stories of the rich history and spiritual heritage of this significant place.
