About Us

At its core, Glorious Triumphant Ekklesia International (GTEI)—"The Revival Center”— is an apostolic, revival hub —i.e. a center for training, equipping, empowering, and sending believers to manifest the Kingdom of God in their spheres of influence! Our “team members” are leaders and emerging leaders who will Rescue Souls, Restore Families, Raise Leaders, and Revive Cities through the proclamation and manifestation of Gospel of the Kingdom!

In preparation for Yeshua’s Return, we BOLDLY proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and challenge believers to #BreakFree into all that Christ’s redemptive work provides—namely, biblical wholeness and prosperity for the Glory of God!

UNIQUE DESIGN

Our ministry is mission-minded and project-based: we are always moving towards one goal or another as we zealously seek to manifest God’s Kingdom in every sphere of influence!

To accomplish our Mission and realize our Vision, GTEI uses the vehicles of small groups, regular trainings, and virtual experiences. Additionally, we hold in-person “Acts 2” gatherings, host occasional conferences, and regularly curate engaging events and powerful evangelistic outreaches as part of our unique methodology.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to Rescue Souls, Restore Families, Raise Leaders, and Revive Cities by preaching and teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God!

OUR VISION

…is to see:

  1. Millions of Souls Brought into the Kingdom of God

  2. Healthy Marriages & Families Become the “Norm” in the Ekklesia

  3. Effective Kingdom Leadership Raised and Sent into Every Sphere of Influence

  4. The Urban Areas we are called to Revived & Transformed into “Pockets of Eden!”

  5. The Body of Christ Unified, Mature, and Ready for Yeshua’s Return

Kingdom Greetings,

I am Ronald Evans!

My wife, Kalell Evans and I, are called to raise up a REVIVAL GENERATION! God uses our ministry to effect revival and restoration in individuals, marriages, families, regions, and in the Body of Christ through equipping and training believers of multiple generations to be agents of revival and change! We do this through in-person and virtual services and gatherings, small groups, group evangelism and outreaches, training sessions, mentoring, education and more. I travel extensively spreading the work and message God has given to me. This work and message—embodied in Glorious Triumphant Ekklesia International (GTEI)—centers around the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and manifests itself as REVIVAL and wholeness in individuals, marriages, families, and communities! My wife and I are serious about our call to restore that which has been broken and prepare humanity for the Return of the Lord! 

Biographical Points

-I was born in Chicago, IL—the second child of Elder Ronald Evans, Sr. and Mother Annette Evans’s four children.

-I was reared in (and am a part of) the Church of God in Christ

-I was filled with the Holy Spirit in 1999  

-I have served in many capacities in my local congregation (Free At Last COGIC, Superintendent Joseph D Webb III) and in the Minnesota COGIC Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction 

-I have been a Licensed Minster since 2007.

-In 2011, I planted Glorious Triumphant Church (now, Glorious Triumphant Church Int’l) since 2011. I was later formally ordained by Dr. Bill Winston of Chicago, IL.

-In 2024, I was affirmed in the Office of Apostle by Ryan LeStrange.

Education

I graduated from the University of St. Thomas in 2008 and have been professionally trained in pedagogy, Secondary Education, and various areas of psychology. As I was preparing to enter my doctoral program at the University of Minnesota, God called me to greater ministry. I also began a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at Saint Mary’s University in Minneapolis, MN until the demands of a growing family and ministry put that degree on-hold. 

Special Accomplishments 

I have started several businesses and non-profits. I mentor people across multiple generations as well as various ethnic and denominational backgrounds. I have an extensive resume of leadership positions, skills and competencies. Nevertheless, I consider all of these things as “dung” if they don’t glorify my Lord, Yeshua—He is my greatest possession!!

APOSTOLIC PECULIARITIES

Apostolic Commission: I was divinely instructed as a child to "Build a house for the Sanctuary...be strong and do it." (1 Chronicles 28: 10) Years later, on the last Day of the 2018 Feast of Tabernacles, Yeshua appeared to me. I am charged to operate as Elijah: preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God with power and demonstration, restoring families, reviving regions, and preparing the Bride of Christ for Her Lord’s Return!

Apostolic Message: THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD and the #BreakFree Decree: “We decree and declare that full salvation & restoration, the victory of the cross & resurrection power, and total completeness manifest spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically, socially; and financially/materially in our lives and in the families, communities, and lives we are called in impact!”
