Our History
Live For Him Ministries grew out of a mission trip that Rev. John and Julie Battern took to Africa in the fall of 2021. Since that time, John has been teaching pastors in Uganda, Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia via the web. Along with some mission minded friends, Live For Him Ministries was founded in 2023 in order to further the scope and reach of training and equipping disciples in Africa.
