Ministry Affiliations

Bethany World Prayer Center

Bethany World Prayer Center

City In The Desert is associated with the Bethany Cell Church Network in Baker/Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

BCCN is an extension of Bethany World Prayer Center, pastored by well-known national Christian leader, Larry Stockstill.

Reserve Christian Church

Rod and Mary Aguillard

Through BCCN and their affiliate association of churches called INLC (International Network of Local Churches), we have come into relationship with INLC director, Pastor Rod Aguillard.

Pastor Aguillard is the senior pastor at Reserve Christian Church in Reserve, Louisiana, and along with his wife Mary, he has come alongside pastors Michael and Darci Niva here at City In The Desert as friend, pastor, spiritual parent and overseer.

Harvest Rock Church

In addition to our current affiliations, we have forged lasting relationships with Pastor Che Ahn of Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, California, and his well-known associate Lou Engle, currently residing in Washington, D.C. and directing JHOP (Justice House of Prayer). For over three years, we were affiliated with Pastor Che's network of local churches and still remain friends and supporters of their vision for world harvest.

Through several years of working with Che and Lou, we helped further the vision of The Call in the state of Arizona, serving as state coordinators for both The Call D.C. and The Call New York. The Call events were a divine directive for young people to gather in fasting, prayer and repentance for a turning in the nation.

Christian Men's Network

City In The Desert also worked closely with Dr. Edwin Louis Cole, author and spiritual father of much of the current men's ministry movement in America and the world. Dr. Cole authored several books, the most well-known being "Maximized Manhood," which has been read by millions of men worldwide. Our connection to CMN, The Christian Men's Network, founded by Dr. Cole planted an emphasis on Christlike manhood which continues to be a core value of City In The Desert today. Even though Dr. Cole passed away recently, his vision lives on in men and churches around the world.
