Church Twinning International Global Ministries

Church Twinning International, Inc. (CTI) is an ecumenical, international, interfaith, and intercultural outreach ministry. Founded in 1981 by Professor Andrew Crakye Denteh and Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston, alongside his late wife, Mrs. Isabelle Daniels Holston, this initiative emerged from the collaborative vision of religious leaders from Georgia (USA) and Ghana (West Africa).

CTI “twins” congregations globally, fostering meaningful connections between diverse communities. This initiative encourages the exchange of communication, evangelism, and cultural experiences, thereby supporting pastors, parishioners, and their respective communities in their spiritual and societal endeavors. Each congregation embodies the Pauline Macedonian experience found in Acts 16:9, which calls for mutual support and assistance, reflected in the phrase, “…come over and help us.”

CTI has established three member organizations: CTI-USA, CTI-Ghana, and CTI-Liberia. Each branch plays a vital role in nurturing local congregations and facilitating international outreach efforts. As CTI prepares to expand into new regions around the world, Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston decided to formalize Church Twinning International Global Ministries, Inc. in August 2024. This strategic move aims to enhance CTI’s capacity for outreach, enabling it to forge new partnerships and foster intercultural dialogue on a broader scale. In a world that often feels divided, CTI’s mission emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity, highlighting the transformative power of faith and collaboration. Through its programs, CTI seeks not only to support individual congregations but also to contribute to the broader goal of global peace and understanding, reflecting its commitment to the teachings of love, service, and community upliftment.

Minister Charlene S. Bowden is the President of CTI Global Ministries and has received credentials from Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance. She holds the following awards and licenses: Licensed Minister, Christian Ministry Award, Basic Christian Ministry Award, Field Minister (Commended), Christian Leaders Connection Award, Christian Wedding Officiant.

Full Faith Ministries

Full Faith Ministries is about ministering to communities through evangelism outreach and connecting people to their local church. We bring worship and the sharing of the word through conferences, revival meetings, and other special community events. We also have a local church, and we are developing a community center where people can come and have their needs ministered too, as well as providing an opportunity to “hang out” in a safe place. Our ministry helps those with their needs, in the areas of prayer, officiant services, bible study, and providing some assistance in their physical needs.
As we work the “great commission” in this ministry we will have 3 focus areas
1. Jerusalem- through our local church we will continue to help our outreach event coordinator and the local community leaders hold community events.
2. Judea- We will bring evangelistic revival meetings and conferences to churches and communities throughout the region.
3. Ends of the earth- We continue to serve our local church by overseeing and coordinating the international broadcast. We will also be coordinating with area ministries and assisting them with oversee missions.

Deuteronomy 31:12,13- Assemble the people- men, women and children, and the foreigners residing in your towns- so they can listen and learn to fear the Lord your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. Their children who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the Lord you God as long as you love in the land your are crossing the Jordan to possess.
Proverbs 22:6- Teach the children on the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it.

The Dove Ministry

Pastor David May – Life Coach Ministry

Founder of The Dove Ministry

Greetings, my name is Pastor David May, and I am the founder of The Dove Ministry, established in December 2023. As a certified Life Coach minister, I am committed to empowering individuals to achieve their fullest potential and lead fulfilling lives. My mission is rooted in faith, resilience, and the transformative power of Jesus Christ.

• Vision and Goals

My primary goal is to create a coaching practice that focuses on holistic development, addressing career, personal, spiritual, and emotional well-being. By integrating life coaching principles with ministerial guidance, I strive to provide a support system that helps individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and faith.

I also plan to host workshops and seminars that promote self-awareness, personal growth, and spiritual enrichment. These events will provide a sense of community and equip participants with practical tools for self-improvement. Through collaboration with local organizations and religious institutions, I hope to extend my reach by offering tailored programs such as youth mentorship, family counseling, and leadership development.

Through The Dove Ministry, I am reaching out worldwide, creating a ripple effect of positive change. By helping individuals transform their lives, I believe we can collectively build a stronger, more compassionate community.

• Faith in Times of Hardship

Life is often filled with uncertainty, suffering, and challenges that test our faith. During these moments, I turn to Scripture for guidance and reassurance. One of my favorite verses is Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This verse reminds us that God’s plans for our lives extend beyond our current circumstances, offering hope and prosperity even in the midst of hardship.

Jesus Himself warned us in John 16:33: “In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world.” While pain and evil are part of our earthly story, God’s promises transcend our suffering. His plans are rooted in love, and we can trust Him to bring good out of even the darkest situations.

• My Journey and Calling

I have walked with God since my youth, discerning His call to ministry as early as the 1970s. Inspired by the victorious life of Jesus Christ, I minister to those I encounter along my journey, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through me. As a former convict, I have personally experienced the transformative power of Jesus Christ, and I am confident that He can do the same for others.

My mission is to help individuals overcome life-controlling issues such as addiction to drugs, alcohol, and pornography. Through the grace and power of Jesus Christ, I am empowered to share God’s love, nurture spiritual growth, and foster positive relationships within the community. This transformation leads to a change in character, attitude, and action for those who genuinely seek Him.

• Biblical Inspiration

Scripture serves as the foundation of my ministry. Verses such as James 4:7-10 and 2 Timothy 2:3-19 remind us to submit to God, resist the devil, and remain faithful even in suffering. As soldiers of Christ, we are called to endure hardships, obey His teachings, and focus on our divine purpose.

The parable of the Good Samaritan also inspires my work. It teaches us to love our neighbors, extend mercy, and recognize our spiritual poverty. We are reminded that salvation comes not from our deeds but through the mercy of Jesus Christ. Acting as the Good Samaritan is a response to the grace we have already received, not a means to earn God’s favor.

• Final Thoughts

In Christ, we have hope. In His guidance, there is victory. My mission is to serve, uplift, and inspire others on their journey toward a life of meaning and purpose. Through The Dove Ministry, I will help individuals overcome challenges, grow spiritually, and experience the transformative power of God’s love.
