From Occasional Encounters with God to Living in His Presence

Forerunner Membership gives you the teaching, the pathway, and a community of believers already walking in His presence — so that what you've tasted becomes how you live.

You’ve had moments where God felt so close, but it didn’t last. We help you live in the presence of God.

You know what we’re talking about. Perhaps you were at one of our conferences or a retreat, a quiet morning that caught you off guard — something shifted, God felt genuinely near, and you left changed. Then Wednesday came. The ordinary moved back in. And slowly, without meaning to, you were back where you started. Because a breakthrough that hasn’t changed your identity in Christ will always be momentary. The encounter was real. But encounter alone doesn’t transform — it has to become the foundation of who you know yourself to be in Him. And that’s almost impossible to build alone.

We've Walked this Path of Intimacy with God — and Spent 30 Years Mapping It for Others.

We know what it feels like to have a burning hunger for more of God but no clear path forward. We’ve experienced the loneliness of growing prophetically in environments that didn’t know what to do with that kind of gifting. We know the discouragement of sensing a calling you can’t yet put into words.

That’s exactly why Forerunner Ministries was created.

For over three decades, we have been equipping believers from across the globe to move from surface-level Christianity into a sustainable lifestyle of encounter. What began as a calling is now a proven pathway — weekly live teachings, 30+ courses, and a global community of believers actively stepping into the calling God placed in them.

We don’t just teach about encounter. We create the conditions for it because our goal was never to make you more gifted. It was always to make you more known — by Him.

Testimonials

Hear from our community how Forerunner Ministries has impacted their lives.

I’m Back on Fire
"I found my tribe. This is so different compared to so many other groups. We have just grown so much. I came from a dry land, from a desert place prior to joining this group. And now I’m back on fire. I’m back not just dipping in my toe, but diving into the waters of what God has for me. I’m willing to give it all up and trust the Lord. I’m learning that I won’t get everything laid out for me. I’m going to have to walk and wait for what is next for me and what He wants me to do next. I asked my children if there is anything different with mum. And one of my children said to me that my approach to them is much more understanding and supportive and caring. And that the love of Christ is even more so."
Sharon
Now I Understand
“I used to make long prayers, often shouting in most of them. I have learned on this course, that effective praying is not due to the length of the prayer or by praying loudly. God knows our prayers before they leave our lips, and He is not deaf. My relationship with the Father has grown much closer, to a point that I now know what is on His heart. So, rather than praying what I am facing, I now spend time in worship and waiting upon the Lord before I pray. Before this course, I was praying by what I see, what is in front of me. I don’t pray like that anymore. I pray about what God sees. This is a huge change for me.”
Pauline
So Much Hope
“The humility that I see in those leading these courses makes me more hopeful that there are other leaders like this. It gives me so much hope to go out and prophecy because of the humility I see. It also gives me more love for the people that God sends to me to prophecy over. No one is perfect, but I see that the leaders are not only so humble, but also have the heart of God. And I see that they really want to please God, and that they love God. It gives me so much hope I can’t explain. They have the anointing and don’t try to prove it. This teaches me about humility. I have grown so much more hunger for intercession and wanting to be obedient from this course. My level of courage has also increased to do what I need to do.”
Melinda
So Encouraged
I have been so encouraged by being apart of the mentorship program with Franklyn. The different things that Franklyn shares are so relevant to my life and all that God is doing. I know that I am in the right place at the right time.”
Amy
My Prayer Life has Grown
“If you have never had teaching in how to function as an intercessor these are the courses for you! My prayer life has been growing in leaps & bounds since I started this course and now I understand why and how to submit to the call to intercession! God Bless Rev. Franklyn Spence and the Forerunner Ministries team for allowing me to participate, its been a life changing experience.”
Joyce
Has Given Me Faith
"Before joining the Forerunner ministry teachings I wouldn’t have considered myself to have been someone to have visions. However since hearing and reading about Franklyn's experiences it has given me faith to believe that God wants to encounter me in these ways as well. I have a confidence now to trust that God wants to show me great and marvelous things (Jer33:3)"
Amy
Thank You
"Thanks for the update and exciting things to come. l am looking forward to seeing what it all looks like. Thank you as well for your desire and commitment to see others grow. I so appreciate all the ways you have lined this up. Teaching, impartation, community, all led by Holy Spirit. Bless you as you continue to follow His call and leading."
Jim

You Don’t Have to Stay Where You Are – Take the Next Step.

Here’s what we consistently see in people who take the next step:

  • They move from hearing God occasionally to recognizing His voice daily.
  • Their identity shifts from ‘I think I might have a prophetic gift’ to ‘I know my divine assignment.’
  • They stop carrying their calling in isolation — and find a community that believes in what God placed in them.
  • They move from attending ‘events’ to living in a perpetual state of encounter, where the rhythm of teaching and community sustains their fire every day of the week.

But we also know what happens when people stay in browse mode.

The hunger doesn’t go away — it just goes underground. The calling doesn’t disappear — it just goes unfulfilled. Every week without intentional cultivation is another week the people in your sphere of influence wait for what God placed inside you.

You didn’t land on this page by accident. You’re here because the hunger is real.

The question is whether you’ll honour it.

Reflections and encouragement for your extraordinary Christian life here on earth

"I am always with you." – Matthew 28:20

💌 I am not distant; I am right here. When you feel unseen or unheard, remember—I am closer than your breath, guiding and comforting you every step of the way.

🔹 Reflection: No matter how we feel, God’s presence never leaves. Instead of looking for Him in the noise of life, we should be still and trust that He is already near.

"I will never leave you." – Hebrews 13:5

💌 My child, you are never alone. Even in your hardest moments, I am with you, walking beside you. No matter how far you wander, I will never abandon you.

🔹 Reflection: Knowing that God will never leave us means we can walk in confidence, even in uncertainty. No trial is too great, no failure too deep—He remains faithful.
