The KINGDOM Group International, Inc.
Reverend Elmo Winters
Reverend Elmo Winters is the Founder and Executive Director of KINGDOM Group International, Inc., a Baton Rouge, Louisiana, nonprofit organization advancing UNITY, racial healing, reconciliation, discipleship, and Kingdom-centered community impact.
With more than 49 years in ministry, Reverend Winters has served as a church planter, senior pastor, Bible school teacher, short-term missionary, hospice chaplain, nonprofit director, author, and Christian leadership trainer. His ministry is rooted in the reconciling Gospel of Jesus Christ and a deep love for all people, regardless of race, culture, background, ethnicity, or life experience.
Reverend Winters has planted churches and trained pastors in Russia, Kenya, Mexico, and the United States. Through biblical teaching, international missions, leadership development, and men’s discipleship, he has helped equip believers, churches, ministries, and community leaders to pursue unity with truth, compassion, courage, and spiritual conviction.
As an author and speaker, Reverend Winters uses writing, teaching, and training to call people beyond surface-level conversation and into faithful action. He is the author of Growing by Going, Overcoming Racial and Cultural Barriers to Disciple Men, Dynamic Dialogue, and Elevate Your Health. He is also a contributing co-author of How to Disciple Men. His books address evangelism, discipleship, racial reconciliation, cultural barriers, men’s ministry, leadership, health, and the biblical responsibility to love across lines of difference.
Reverend Winters does not treat reconciliation as a slogan, program, or seasonal conversation. He teaches it as a Kingdom assignment. His work challenges churches, ministries, men’s groups, and nonprofit leaders to confront division with biblical truth, humility, repentance, compassion, and courage. Through KINGDOM Group International, he continues to create spaces where people can listen honestly, build relationships, and move toward healing through Christ-centered UNITY.
Today, Reverend Winters travels nationally and internationally, speaking to churches, ministries, nonprofit organizations, leadership groups, and men’s gatherings on UNITY, racial healing, reconciliation, discipleship, and Christian leadership. Whether preaching from the pulpit, facilitating difficult conversations, leading men’s discussions, training leaders, or strengthening ministry teams, his message remains clear: the Gospel calls believers to become one in Christ and to live that unity where the world can see it.
Apostle & Lady Winters
Reverend Winters serves alongside his wife, Therese Winters, President of KINGDOM Group International, Inc. Together, they help steward the organization’s mission with faith, vision, structure, and a shared commitment to healing across racial, cultural, and generational lines. Their leadership reflects a belief that UNITY is not simply a word to celebrate. It is a witness to live.
Elmo and Therese Winters are also connected through faith-based publishing and resource development. Reverend Winters’ books strengthen men, churches, leaders, and ministries. At the same time, Therese H. Winters’ children’s resource, God Made Me Wonderful, encourages young girls to discover courage, faith, joy, confidence, and biblical identity. Together, their work reflects a generational commitment to discipleship, encouragement, family, and Kingdom impact.
Reverend Winters and Therese are blessed with three sons, two daughters, and nine grandchildren. Their family, ministry, and leadership continue to reflect the message they carry through KINGDOM Group International: UNITY is not merely something to discuss. It is something to live, model, and pass forward with faithfulness.

ARTICLES OF FAITH
As a Christian organization, the KINGDOM Group International, Inc. was founded on and is committed to the following statements of faith:
- WE BELIEVE that both the Old and New Testaments constitute the divinely inspired Word of God, inerrant in the originals.
- WE BELIEVE in one God existing eternally in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- WE BELIEVE that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, became man without ceasing to be God in order that He might reveal God and redeem sinful men.
- WE BELIEVE that the Holy Spirit came forth from the Father and the Son to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment; and to regenerate, sanctify, comfort, and seal those who believe in Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE that man is totally depraved in that of himself. He is utterly unable to remedy his lost condition.
- WE BELIEVE that salvation is the gift of God, who brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose atoning blood was shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins.
- WE BELIEVE in the water baptism of believers, symbolizing the believer’s union in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
- WE BELIEVE in the observance of the Lord’s Supper, commemorating the sacrifice of our Savior for all mankind.
