A Movement of God

     MYANMAR

“Movements” of God are where God chooses to launch a strategy and plan of His design from Heaven at the “fullness of time.” He chooses men (Abraham, Gideon, David, Billy Graham) or women (Deborah, Mary, Mother Teresa) through whom the Spirit has chosen to work.

These “founders” or founding teams share common characteristics:

• They have been prepared by God–sometimes for decades–to serve and lead others humbly

• They have experienced significant suffering–even as Jesus learned obedience through the things that he suffered

• They are reluctant to step into the arena God has called them to and lead out

• They are generally without the specific skills and cultural experience  required to lead the mission assignment (Moses)

• They understand that through God they can do all things, but doubt that “all things” include this assignment for them

• Once they accept the Holy Spirit’s charge, they give it all that they have–which is not much, so the coach, pray, wait and watch –starting and stopping–waiting to hear God’s direction and “pray in” the funding they need to continue on to what’s next

• They grow very quickly–by word of mouth, signs, and miraculous wonders–as compared to larger, more successful, and better funded ministries around them

Today over 700 of these movements of God have sprouted across the globe. Over 90% are happening in nations in the southern hemisphere and around the Equatorial developing nations.

Ours International focus began in 2012 when the founder of Core 300 answered a mobile call from (what turned out to be) a corrupt  “Bishop” inviting Core 300 to come to Bungoma, Kenya, and lead a ministers conference for over 600 Church leaders. As we saw God expand and a process emerged, 40,000 men from 4 very diverse cultures came to learn how to be transformed as a biblical Warrior and servant leader using the same curricula.

Core 300’s The Warrior course is a catalytic discipleship curriculum where the dunamis of Spirit of God transformed–“everyman at any time”–into a fully awakened and empowered Man of God, standing in God’s Armor (Eph 6:10-19). Each man experiences his adoption as a son of the Father. Each man is freed of unseen bonds that had compelled him to hide in shame, isolated from good men around him–and from God, and then his heart was captured by the deceptions of this World System and demonic enticement into addictions and false masculinity.

We know this not only because of the flood of excited tear-filled testimonies of their formerly abused wives and children. We also know because our men conducted over 400 random wives’ surveys which measured the  5  husbanding and fathering behaviors exhibited by godly African men.

“Wherever we go, we find that men are the same worldwide. Like Gideon, almost all men are alone–isolated; as such they hide their true selves behind self-protective false armor, projecting outside the kind of mean they think you will like and respect–even heroically if they can; finally, they feel ashamed of the things they have done–especially in the dark where no one knows”  –Art Hobba, Founder, Core 300, and our 3 Principle Based Leadership Affiliates (Kenya, Uganda, & Myanmar

Our Curricula Trilogy

Today over 40,000 men have graduated from the Warrior course, most receiving their first Swahili Bible; 10,000 have continued on by completing the Priest class. To date, 2,500 of these leaders have also graduated from the King course as well.

Experiencing this 12-Session Boot Camp process installs a True North compass which launches and guides his unique pilgrimage–among a Band of Brothers–towards Christ-likeness. The graduation ceremony marks him as a Warrior-Overcomer–among a Band of Brothers–for the rest of his life.

The Priest teaches and demonstrates Servant Leadership, and The King course trains them how to become a “leader-maker,” multiplying himself through mentoring and leadership coaching.

Finally, we endeavor to follow the Warrior course with a day long filed workshop called Farms for Life, which triples the student’s small farm harvest by 300% in three years!

R.O.I. (Return on Investment)

Donor & Grantor Investment over 5 years = $1.2 million

Amount of Donor & Grantor ROI from our SIMBA business training and our FFL  Process = 2,385% (each dollar given increased to 2,385 times)

Average income increase per 9,000 Farmers = $1,722/family and this increases for them every year as their soils are brought back to health!

   1) Spiritual ROI –  (salvations, deliverances from tribalism–reproductive discipleship). Through our process and the Holy Spirit’s empowering of     the Warrior, Priest, King, and our Farms For Life courses

   2) Psychological/Trauma Healing was marked by healed father wounds, forgiveness, healed marriages, and children being loved, fed, and           protected by their fathers’ hearts turning towards them;

   3) Economic and Social ROI have created new Regional wealth of $15,470,250 —with no cost to the farmer other than love, sweat, and       obedience to Jesus–even as our farmers were surrounded by food scarcity, lockdowns, and social unrest, this return was miraculous! Any 1 of     these 3 dimensions of return on donor investments could only have happened by Divine intervention—akin to feeding the 5,000! All glory                 can only go to our Lord Jesus Christ and our Father in Heaven!

Expansion into East Africa and Myanmar

  Kenya – In 2013, Four US Core 300 Leaders from the USA arrived in Bungoma, Western Kenya, and provided a 3-    Day Warrior Course Conference at a local church.  612 Christian leaders from Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda came,    and the Spirit of God came upon all of us during the first day of the meeting.

  As of 2022–and in the midst of COVID shutdowns–we have trained 35,000 men in the Warrior course-seeing over   14,500 men give their lives to Jesus for the first time! Another 10,000 graduated from the Priest. We were also able    to Certify 140 volunteer Coordinators (40 of whom are Chaplains who completed of the Priest course) who lead          and coordinated some 1,000 conferences.

Kenyan Prisons – In 2016, after training 3,425 Church Leaders in the Warrior course with a volunteer staff of 4 Coordinators, we were approached by three Prison Chaplains, who were certain that our  3 years of discipleship and leadership development was the best fit for a new executive inquiry they had just received, requesting 19 NGOs – including Core 300–to bid on solutions to partner with Kenyan Prison Authority in 10 male prisons in Kenya. Since 2018 we have partnered with the Bible League, but COVID shut down much of their and our funding.

   

Uganda – was a targeted border nation that we had planned to reach in 2025, but the Spirit advanced our timetable to June of 2022 after our new partner, Calvary Chapel Entebbe welcomed and supported our campaign in June 2022 and twice in 2023.

Thus far, we have trained 73 hand-picked VIP Christian Influencers who speak Luganda. and our Kenya team launched 36 pairs of newly certified Warrior Coordinators in Fall of 2022.

Just like when Jesus authorized the disciples to do greater things than he had done, We separated the workforce to two Regions of Uganda–even beyond–into the Congo, South Sudan, and 3 Kampala-based Ugandan prisons

MYANMAR

Our latest Gospel Adventure into Southeast Asia began when a pastor from Myanmar contacted us from Yangon–their Capital city– asking us to come and help strengthen ministers and their churches in the midst of a brutal, 75-year Civil War. Led by several despotic Military Junta regimes, they allow small home churches only, but, as a nation that is 93% Buddhist, they government will quickly arrest pastors for minor infractions. Once taken, they are never seen again.

The war-torn country made up of 50 Tribes an dialects lead 25 Proventil Militias battle for freedom and Democracy.

Our first visit was in early January of 2025 where our founder, Art Hobba trained 5 courageous men in a seedy hotel for 5 days. Completely without a Burmese interpreter, the labor of communication was bridged by one pastor, U Pa Law, who spoke a few hundred English words–and by the Holy Spirit! Plans were made for Art to return in 6-12 months, but the first we had to begin the process of professionally translating our curricula into Burmese.

The finished translation of The Warrior was not completed and vetted until mid-September, and 2 new cohorts were trained by U Pa in November! On December 8, 2025, Rev. Hobba returned to train a group of 22 pastors in Yangon–and the core group were inspired to move forward on a tiny budget. In2026 we plan on translating the Priest Course and introducing it in 2027, after the Warrior course creates traction and we begin helping this agrarian culture, who like East Africa, suffers from with weak and depleted soils. Farms for Life will be introduced this Spring where we will also legal recognition from the Military government for PBL Myanmar.

Please pray for this blighted nation…and for a God-blessed outcome for this War., Pray that this seed blossoms like it did in East Africa–and consider helping us with $50 or $100/month for we do not yet have a budget for this new work.
