Our History

History of Shekinah Apostolic Ministries International

Apostle Crispin praying for people in Rwanda

The Shekinah Apostolic Ministries International was born out of a burden to see the church impacting the world by the power and the glory of God. In December 1998 God spoke to His servant, Apostle Crispin Kamucici

I have chosen you and I have prepared a work for you; I am restoring my power and glory to my people and they shall impact the world”.

The vision of Shekinah Apostolic Ministries is to fulfill the will of God that He revealed to Apostle Kamucici years ago: “Seeing the glory of God back among His people to impact the world by the power of God.” Haggai 2:9

It is our heart’s desire that all people come to experience the glory of God and live per His Kingdom principles.

Shekinah Apostolic Ministries International is an organization with headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. It was founded by Apostle Crispin Kamucici, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo who recently was resettled in Cleveland with his wife Jacqueline and his ten Children after they have spent about fifteen years as refugees in Rwanda.

Before Apostle Crispin and his family are resettled in Cleveland, they were serving the Lord in Rwanda where he planted a Church since 2003! He left the Church in Rwanda under the leadership of another Pastor who is his spiritual son.

The global vision of Shekinah Apostolic Ministries International is to Raise people for Kingdom Lifestyle to transform Nations.

Our mandate of “Raising an apostolic people for Kingdom lifestyle to transform Nations” is being pursued through teaching, discipling and church planting. The first SAMI church to be planted was the Shekinah Temple, in Kigali, Rwanda.
