Summary of ANCTWIGC Mandate

The Mandate of All Nations ChristBlood Teshubuth WordFlame International Gospel Center (ANCTWIGC) is anchored directly on the divine prophetic directive of Acts 13:47 ("I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth"). Commissioned from its international headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria, this mandate drives the church to act as an uncompromised spiritual lighthouse—dispelling dark principalities, winning lost souls, enforcing deliverance through the Blood of Jesus, and establishing God's Kingdom authority across every nation.

Institutional Alignment & Accountability
