BAPEP (Bishops, Apostles, Pastors, Evangelists and Prophets) International Network incorporated in Nigeria is a protestant-minister fellowship to foster deeper relationship among like minded church leaders regardless of the denominational differences. According to Jesus Christ’s prayer for his disciples – “That they all may be one: – John 17:21. It is the intent of the founder of the global church for all churches to be united in love and faith towards strengthening God’s kingdom and depopulating the kingdom of darkness.
Apostle Paul threw more light in Ephesians 4:13 – “until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ”. It has become imperative for 21st century churches and ministries to look for a forum to come together regardless their denominational differences and speak with one voice to agree on terms and make their stand on matters bordering global church and Christianity and make their point very clear to Gospel’s sworn enemy or archenemy called Satan.
In lieu of the above, BAPEP shall seek to help upcoming Ministers towards channeling their strength on matters that bring progress than argument on denominational dogma which is nothing but human’s indoctrinated belief. This belief system has separated the church and done more harms to the global church than good.
BAPEP is a forum where young ministers are groomed towards fulfilling their ministerial and leadership destinies. She seeks to connect upcoming Ministers to the renowned ones and network them to the international ministers for Gospel expansion, expertise, professionalism and most importantly; impartation of grace.
BAPEP seeks to open up young Ministers to skills that matter in the 21st Century. She is established to assist upcoming Ministers and Ministries fulfill their ultimate goals on earth. It’s a calling for those who believe that they need help and humble enough to learn from Master’s feet.
The BAPEP International Network is a forum of Christian leaders of protestant background and para-church ministries. BAPEP is an acronym which stands for Bishops, Apostles, Pastors, Evangelists and Prophets. It is a company of leaders committed to the proclamation of God’s Word. The main goal of this Network is to foster godly relationship among the title holders of the five-fold ministries and preserve the enviable heritage of bible faith ministries most especially in the third world.
BAPEP will help the downtrodden ministries pick up and become mega ministries; doing well. So our target is not mega ministries but growing ones who believe they need help and God’s intervention most especially knowledge based revolution. This Network will bring revolutionary positive change to how things should be done among the protestant denominations. Protestant denominations comprise all denominational churches except Catholics.
The role of BAPEP is to help preserve the growing ministries and giving helping hands to the upcoming ministries. BAPEP is a bridge between well established and upcoming ministries. Periodically, conferences and seminars will be organized for training of Church leaders towards being abreast with the current world’s standard. Our members will be well tutored in digital, ministerial and leadership skills that are relevant for 21st century Christian leaders. Needy members will also be helped mentally, financially, morally and spiritually where possible.

Ordination into the office of Bishops, Apostles, Pastors, Evangelists and Prophets could take place in any BAPEP secretariats or individual member’s church provided the facility meets all the requirements as stipulated in the Bye-laws.
