Where It Began
Vertical Divider
|
Robbie Harrington and Kellie Haldeman established Ancient Promise Ministries in 2008 through prayer and a call to disciple God’s people. He made it clear they were to reach people in Africa by helping them to know Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth. Diana Berns joined the team at the end of 2008. Together they began to develop curricula and travel to Africa to share what God had revealed about how to live devoted to Him.
It was apparent that the people we were serving needed more than impactful information given to them about God—they needed to learn how to discover God themselves. The focus became to equip pastoral and collegiate leadership with tools to accurately interpret the Word so they would be able to communicate what they had discovered to those in their care. Ancient Promise Ministries has grown into a body of people committed to the call to establish the kingdom of Jesus Christ on the earth. We join God in His purposes by equipping others to discover Him, know Him through His Word, and live as testimonies of His love and mercy to those around them. We partner with pastors, churches, denominations and mission organizations to reach immigrant people groups living in the United States and in villages and cities abroad. In 2023, we changed our name to Ancient Promise International. |
The Reach
God has given us the opportunity to reach pastors and church leaders who do not have the opportunity for formal training. We are currently working in multiple countries including Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mexico, India, Nepal, and the United States.
East Africa
Our work abroad began in Kenya and Tanzania in 2009. We have formed partnerships with one of the largest evangelical denomination in Tanzania. We have trained thousands of pastors, missionaries and denominational leaders.

The Horn of Africa
In 2015, because of our work in Tanzania, we were introduced to a pastor from Addis Abba, Ethiopia. This connection bought us to a Kenyan missionary who has been working in Ethiopia for 16 years. His knowledge of the people and the work he has already established is a perfect match for the training we bring.

The Americas
God is opening avenues to impact Spanish speakers in Mexico as well as the immigrant Spanish speaking population in California and Colorado. Our materials have been translated into Spanish and the training has begun.
