About Les D. Crause and the Apostolic Team of Apostolic Movement International

Apostle Les D. Crause

Originally from South Africa, Apostle Les D. Crause was born into a Pentecostal home while his parents were participating in revival. As a child he was actively involved in Sunday School, and as a young teenager he took part in a series of Youth Crusades that began to form in his heart a vision for ministry.

At the age of 20 he had an experience with the Holy Spirit at a youth camp that transformed his life and brought the call of God. Prior to finally entering the Pastorate at the age of 28, he became involved in many different church activities, including Sunday School Teaching, Choir Leader, Deacon, Youth Pastor and many other church activities.

Manifesting a powerful Teaching Ministry from the beginning, Les gained experience as a Pastor and Itinerant Teacher of the Word as he traveled, preaching in various different churches, until the Lord led him to leave his denomination and launch out into the Body Universal as a Prophet and the beginnings of Apostolic Preparation.

Call to Apostleship

The call to Apostleship began as the Lord spoke to Les personally, in a powerful almost audible voice, telling him to leave the church system and reach out into the Body Universal. This was followed by an open vision of the Lord Jesus, in which He gave Les a revelation of His love and compassion and personally commissioned him to go forth and do the work of an Apostle.

Leaving both his denomination and his job, Les began to wait on the Lord for a period covering a total of nine months. During this period he learned more about the realm of the Spirit than he had ever known before.

The knowledge that he had accumulated through the years became consolidated into a clear pattern for the Body of Christ, as the Lord told him to rise up and take his place as a General in the Army of God.

He began to move mightily in the gifts of revelation and prophecy and was a popular speaker at retreats, where the hearers not only hung onto the truths he presented, but experienced the presence of God in such a mighty way that they hailed him as the answer to their prayers for revival.

He was led into many different church backgrounds, ranging from extreme legalism to Baptist non Pentecostalism. He ministered to those at varying levels of spiritual maturity, ranging from ordinary church members, to leaders of church organizations. He ministered in large and small congregations, and helped pioneer new works.

Personal Private Mentorship

Then began a time of preparation in which the Lord caused him to retreat from public ministry and concentrate on personal mentorship and training. He began to pour everything he had into his immediate family members, who had risen up into adulthood full of the knowledge that he had imparted to them.

God also brought others in and there was a price to pay for this. Each person that was being trained was brought to live in the home and learn firsthand in close communication, in a similar way to which Jesus trained His disciples.

Having proved all the principles he had been taught, Les and his wife Daphne were then thrust out into the hub of the earth that is North America, to set up a place from which ministries could be trained around the world. In fulfillment of a prophetic word given years earlier, in which they were told that they would travel overseas to places they had never heard of, they were unexpectedly given an opportunity to move to Tijuana, Mexico, where they were placed in total seclusion to complete their preparation for the task that God had prepared them for.

Internet Ministry

After a time of extreme testing and training, they were instructed to begin their ministry on the Internet, reaching out from just south of the US border, to countries around the world. Being isolated from the mainstream churches, they were protected from forces that would have sought to draw them into the status quo church.

Because of their powerful ministry in the Word and the Spirit, they were approached by many in the USA, to come and set up a ministry. But God had greater plans for them, and as a result of their confinement to Mexico, they could view the whole Church from a distance and put together a program to train those whom God has called to the Fivefold Ministry from around the world.

Apostolic Team Formed

They were then joined by Craig and Colette Toach and so was formed a team making up an invincible group of leaders, who became the model of a true Apostolic Team. The launch of an online Prophetic School opened the door for many who were called to the Prophetic Office to take their place as leaders in the Body of Christ. This led naturally to the extension of training to the other fivefold ministries, and God began to bring in those who were called to the Apostolic Office.

The completion of a full training mechanism for the apostles signaled the completion of the mandate given to Les to lay out a pattern for the End Times Church. This training was offered initially only to a select few who showed a true apostolic calling, and the materials were not made available to the public at large.

GMR International Training College

But the Lord showed that this should be made available to the world, and GMR International Training College was formed to train the Fivefold Ministry.

The College was launched under the leadership of Apostle Colette Toach, whom the Lord gave a specific ability for the training of the Fivefold Ministry. Under her leadership those who had been trained behind the scenes through her personal mentorship and had become part of the spiritual family under Les and Daphne Crause, were now set in place as lecturers and staff of the new Ministry Training College.

Apostolic Movement International

Now having not only completed the training mechanism but proved it by training up in secret a select group of warriors who have taken the mantle and run with it, Les has been released to step out into the Body Universal to take up the next stage of his mandate. He has formed Apostolic Movement International, a ministry organization destined to challege the Status Quo Church System and to change the face of the Body of Christ internationally.

The next phase of development is the launch of a new Bible School Training which will embrace the preparation and training of all who are called to the Ministry and wish to work under the Banner of Apostolic Movement International. This is a fully fledged Online Bible School, offering full ministry training leading to ordination and licensing of those who qualify. Weekly lessons may be watched on video by students around the world, thus enabling anyone to train for the Call to the Ministry without having to leave their jobs or attend a full time Bible College.

AMI Online Bible College

AMI College will present teaching with a more doctrinal emphasis. Up until now all training for the Fivefold Ministry has majored on the individual functions of the Fivefold Ministry Offices. But now AMI will launch a new Teaching Revolution, which will bring an emphasis back to the Scriptures as the standard of faith and a better presentation of Theological Truth which has been hidden in the past in boring intellectual theological books, which few have ever understood or bothered to read. Now the Word will come to life in a real and practical way, and a full emphasis on the Spirit and the Word will come forth. The End Times Church will arise in power in both.

At the cutting edge of what God is doing today, Apostles Les and Daphne Crause and Craig and Colette Toach are placed at a crucial point in God’s purpose for His Church. Now those who wish to join them in this glorious move of God are being given the opportunity to fall in by their sides and to take their place in the greatest move of God that the Church has seen.
