Elie Hasbani
Co-Founder
Pastor Elie has a passion to train, disciple, and equip the church for mission and evangelism, as well as ordain leaders for service in The Kingdom of God. Pastor Elie was saved in 1985 amidst the Lebanese Civil War, a time of conflict as radical and extremist Muslim groups, like Hezbollah and Hamas, arose, fueling conflict and hate between Arab Muslims and Israel. God’s love opened Pastor Elie’s eyes to see that the battle is not flesh and blood, but rather, a spiritual one. Pastor Elie planted churches in Lebanon, trained leaders to evangelize to Muslims and disciple Christian believers in many countries like Lebanon, Cyprus, Jordan, Egypt, Europe, Brazil, Paraguay and the USA, and was part of reconciliation ministry between Arab Christians and Messianic Jews in the Middle East for many years. He has led Biblical tours and mission to Israel, and created a network of church leaders across denominational lines to pray for all nations in Milwaukee. Pastor Elie also currently serves as an Executive Director of Antioch International Institute, a powerful Bible school equipping the next generation of Christ followers across the world.
