"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements
- surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning
stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" (Job 38:4-7 RSV)
Kingdom Builders Global Ministerial Network has
been raised up by the Lord to function under the parameters of an international, global mandate and as such we do not recognize
any limitations or boundaries. It is quite evident in the Word of God that His Church is a universal one and the purpose of
the Lord as indicated in Ephesians 4:11-13, demands a Church of global power functioning in a spirit of unity.
To this end, the five-fold ministry has been raised up to
function! Apostolic Global Networks such as Kingdom Builders Global Ministerial Network are being raised up
by the Lord to link together diverse ministries across the earth into a common purpose. KBGMN is one of the means by which
the Lord is using to accomplish that drawing together into the unity of the faith.
KBGMN functions out of Prince McMecha Gospel World Outreach,
which is the ministry at the heart of the network. The Lord has blessed us with what can be truly described as a multi-ethnic
or international Network!

KBGMN is a network of relatives, relationships and family.
KBGMN is NOT, and will NOT become a denomination. The network extends to the spiritual family-churches, ministries and ministers
joined together in mutual Christian faith and relationship around a divine vision, with a mandate from Jesus Christ to restore
present-truths and ministries. KBGMN also exists to bring the Church to an end-time manifestation of Kingdom purpose, power
and authority of the Lord.
The difference between a network and a denomination is as
such... In its religious traditional definition, a denomination is an organization established for the purpose of preserving
and propagating specific religious doctrines, tenets of faith, creeds and practices. It establishes a structure of leadership
and oversight for the ministers, ministries and churches who become one with them.
From the Christian ministry perspective, a network describes
a grouping of churches, ministries and ministers who are interrelated to link their vision, resources, products and people
in one unified purpose, while not losing hold of their individual specific vision and purposes in the Lord.
Within a network such as KBGMN, churches, ministries and ministers
move in voluntary accountability to mutually agreed apostolic/prophetic partnership and counsel based on relationship, while
still maintaining the essential uniqueness of their individual ministries.
Therefore, the inner structures of the Network are comprised
of visionaries who look forward and not backwards. They are motivational and designed not to get caught up in seeing God move
in His usual, expected ways (thus limiting the power of the Holy Spirit), but instead to encourage constant movement forward
towards growth, truth and the next move of the Holy Spirit. The Word of God accurately describes the direction and vision
of our Network when it declared the following in Psalm 84:5 & 7:
