In his early ministry, he served as a pastor in several Southern
Baptist Churches in Oklahoma, Texas,
and Southern California, later traveling in evangelism for a
number of years, ministering both in local
churches and city-wide Crusades. In 1969 Brother Kouri came into
the experience of the "fulness"
of the Holy Spirit. Since that time he has been deeply involved
in the renewal and the reformation of
the Lord's Church, planting churches, overseeing and training
leaders in the United States, India, and

Brother Kouri is widely respected by church leaders across
denominational lines as an apostolic
father in the body of Christ. Today, he continues to travel

Holy Spirit gained through decades
of experience in evangelism, church planting, missions,
structuring and ordering of church life, and
training Christian leaders. He is committed to the restoration
of the foundations of Christianity, to the
reformation and development of the Church, and to seeing cities
and nations transformed by the
power of the Kingdom of God.

Apostles Peter & Paul
There are 7
essentials that the Lord gave to the apostles.
Brother Kouri
opens these up in a simple straight forward biblical study...
1.
Scripture
reveals the Apostles Understanding that the promise to David
and the
father’s of Israel concerning
Messiah’s Kingdom has already
been
fulfilled
in the resurrection of Jesus.
2. Scripture reveals the
Apostles Understanding of Kingdom Initiation...
the proper response to the Gospel of the
Apostles is to repent, be baptized,
receive
the gift of the Holy
Spirit, and be added to the Lord’s Church.
3. Scripture reveals the Apostles' Understanding that the New
Covenant in the Blood
of
Jesus Christ Is the Promised
Blessing or Mercies of
David.
4. Scripture reveals the Apostles'
Understanding that the church is Zion, the promised House
of David.
5. Scripture reveals the Apostles'
Understanding that the Jewish Age is behind the Church,
not ahead of the
Church.
6. Scripture reveals the Apostles'
Understanding of the Apostolic Government (the Apostolate)
is the basis of
the church's Unity and the foundation or Key to the Church's Success.
7. Scripture reveals the Apostles'
Understanding that the nations are a vital part of the Church's
Heritage.
Brother Kouri notes:
THE
NON-NEGOTIABLES OF APOSTOLIC CHRISTIANITY
1. The Lord entrusted the revelation of
the mysteries of Christ and His Kingdom to the original
apostles of the first century who laid the
foundations
for His Church.
2. Today there is much confusion, division and weakness in the
body of
Christ.
3. The Lord Jesus is reviving, restoring, and reforming His
Church.
4. What is it going to take? What are the essentials, the
non-negotiables of true Christianity?
I want to share with you what it is going to
take to
restore the
foundations and reform the
Lord’s Church.

About the
Communion of
Apostolic Churches...
►The CAC
website, www.cacvirtual.org,
and the documents posted under the menu tabs:
About the CAC, the Constitution, and Members sets forth an
architectural
blueprint of what apostles,
apostolic companies and their respective
jurisdictions should be
doing in the 21st
Century to build
a global apostolic wineskin for our King.
The following is posted on the CAC
website...
►"The CAC Resolutions and Constitution set
forth how we believe
apostles and their companies
can work together, and how the work of the
Kingdom
can be
structured, so
that apostles and their
spheres are enabled to connect governmentally
and
work together
geographically as apostolic
streams or spheres in cities, regions,
nations, and
even
globally to serve Christ’s
Kingdom.
The goal is to rediscover the apostolic
wineskin
that will
enable us to model one Church and
provoke historic denominations to rise above
the
things that
presently divide the Lord’s Church
and rediscover the essentials of apostolic
Christianity."
►"Please understand that members of the
CAC do not
claim to be the full
restoration or the final
expression of Apostolic Christianity in our day.
● They do not
claim to be
the One
Holy Apostolic Church;
● They are simply one apostolic
jurisdiction made up of many
apostolic
jurisdictions within the
Lord’s Global Church.
► The CAC Constitution is simply a serious
attempt to set
forth an
architectural blueprint and
incorporate the Lord’s vision for One Holy
Apostolic
Church in the 21st
Century. The goal is to
provide a working wineskin for apostolic and
prophetic
streams of ministers and
churches to come
together in the Lord and in the will of God to
model true Apostolic Christianity.
