Our story started with God’s divine calling to Apostle Arsenio T. Ferriol as an apostle in the End-Time. Upon receiving the gift and grace of apostleship from God on the third day of his praying and fasting, he embarked on a journey of a lifetime commitment to his calling as the Goodman of the House prophesied in Matthew 24:43. He bears the true gospel and the revelation from God regarding the times and seasons of the Second Coming of Christ.
