ABOUT GATEKEEPERS UNIVERSITY

Becoming Gatekeeper's

At Gatekeeper University, we believe that God is calling you to a unique and profound role in His Kingdom – to become a Gatekeeper. A Gatekeeper is a spiritual warrior, entrusted with the responsibility to stand guard against the forces of darkness and to bring God's divine rule to earth. Through our program, you will discover and nurture your calling, learn biblical principles, and grow in your relationship with God to fulfill your God-given purpose.

Why God Confirms This Role

God's Word reveals that gatekeeping is a powerful and sacred role in His Kingdom. In the Bible, Gatekeepers were appointed to guard the entrance to the Temple, protecting the holy place from intrusion and ensuring that only what was pure and holy entered. In 1 Chronicles 9:22-24, we read about the specific duties of the gatekeepers in the Temple, where they were entrusted with guarding the gates, watching for the enemy, and allowing only those who were authorized by God to pass.

Today, God calls His people to stand as modern-day gatekeepers, watching over the spiritual gates of their communities, their families, and their own hearts. This calling is confirmed through prayer, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit's leading. God has entrusted you with the authority and responsibility to defend against spiritual attack, thwart the schemes of the enemy, and declare His Kingdom come on earth.

Biblical Perspective of Gatekeepers

Gatekeeping in the Bible is a role of spiritual authority and protection. It is a position of discernment and vigilance, where individuals are called to defend and safeguard against evil forces and bring the Kingdom of God to earth.

Spiritual Protection: In Ezekiel 22:30, God laments that He found no one to stand in the gap and intercede for the land. The gatekeeper stands in that gap, interceding in prayer, protecting the people, and declaring God's will over situations. As a gatekeeper, you are called to spiritually guard the gates of your life, relationships, and the world around you.
Authority in Christ: Jesus said in Matthew 16:19, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." As a gatekeeper, you have been given spiritual authority to bind the work of the enemy and loose God's blessing upon your life and the world.
Bringing the Kingdom of God to Earth: The role of the gatekeeper is to ensure that God's Kingdom advances. As a gatekeeper, you are actively involved in bringing the reality of God's rule to earth, declaring His will, and ushering in His presence wherever you go.

The Role of Gatekeeper University

Through a comprehensive curriculum of biblical teachings, hands-on training, and spiritual mentorship, Gatekeeper University will equip you with the tools to stand firm in your faith, recognize spiritual threats, and exercise authority in Christ. We will help you develop the discernment necessary to identify the gates of influence in your own life and in your community. You'll learn how to pray with power and authority, resist the enemy's tactics, and proclaim God's Kingdom on earth.

OUR HISTORY

01

/ OUR ROOTS

Started by visionary (Ann Ridgle) and a few faithful Prophets and modern day Apostles from a single post via Facebook. This mission has become a consuming fire igniting all who consider our convictions deeply. When presented with error one can either shrink from the hostility of indifference or forge into the realm of action where few dare to go. We are called to action, by our willing desire to see God's Kingdom assignments completed in their entirety. By holding up the arms of our modern day Moses, and restoring the faith and dignity to the lost apostolic ministry. We are becoming the very image and likeness of Jesus Christ's Church as begin by the Apostle Peter. This symbol and conviction are seen in our motto and ministry emblem where you see the eagle picking up Peter's mantle (the Church) and carrying her into destiny. Joel chapter 2 is our mandate/commission for success and marching orders.

Our Mission

Gather, Disciple, and Serve the Saint's (Gatekeepers) around the world; find their gate, organize their post and serve the nations. We are gathering every member in God's army, to mandate their post. Gates are entry points from which the world is viewed. Join us as we take a Holy, Bold, Stand for Christ.

We are gathering the priests and returning them to their rightful position within the local church and the world. An apostolic world wide network of students and ministers, with a commission to see God's people prepared for the battle and equipped to accomplish the will of God.

/ HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

02

Historically, we know that gatekeepers are found in the old testamnet as watchers of God's Holy Temple. We believe our modern day Gatekeepers are all believers called to a post within God's Kingdom. For example, you can be a gatekeeper over media, cities, regions, people and GOd's presence.

We're called to accomplish this mandate of restoring the gatekeepers in our generation. The revelation of the GATE was given to our founder in late 2014 through the study of Joel chapter two. Orginally our founder began working with students in 2008 in a University Without Walls, after which the Father called her to establish a distinct training place for other ministers "Gatekeepers University" which is now launched.

Our Inspiration is JESUS!

Therefore, Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out”. John 10: 2, 3, 8, 9, NIV

/ THE FUTURE

03

Great 2025 Expectations & Beyond

GKIU is repositioning, recharging and reconnecting for the heavenly mandate to Gather, Disciple and Serve those in worldwide ministry.

This year we will be focusing on education as our ministry teams are growing and preparing for service. We've created courses to allow them to function effectively in the sphere of international missions and church restoration. As we begin to set global alliances with other ministries, we've found the need for apostolic involvement to be astonishing. The cry from the nations is great. We've begun this university to persuade the opportunity of forthcoming events to allow for the full manifestation of the greater works, which Jesus promised in John 14.

The unveiling has begun. We're calling all to join in this mission as the Lord leads you. We need everyone to take a position and join us in this journey. I’d like to encourage you to take time to fill out our application form. If you’d like to grow in any area ministry and wish to begin serving consider us a viable opportunity for growth.
