About Us
P.U.S.H. Ministries International is an evangelistic ministry rooted in Habakkuk 2:14 "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." We intend to PUSH the glory of the Lord to the ends of the earth. But the question remains, how do we bring God glory? We believe we can bring God glory by making Christians "better" Christians, and turning nonbelievers into believers. Discipleship, humanitarian efforts, and evangelism are the vehicles we will use to bring glory to God. Here's what you can anticipate with our three pillars:
-
Discipleship: Small group, Mentorship, and Witness Building
-
Humanitarianism: Homeless Ministry, Prison Ministry, and Widows & Orphans Ministry
-
Evangelism: Campus Tours at High School and Colleges, Prison Tours, and Crusades
​
Mission:
-
To glorify God by leading individuals and nations into a deep reverence for Jesus through the power of preaching, prayer, evangelism, and discipleship.
​
Vision:
-
To ignite a global revival that transforms lives, churches, and communities, establishing Heaven on Earth.
Our Values
P.U.S.H. Ministries International's values can be summarized with one big value: Go to a place with God others won't. At P.U.S.H. Ministries International, we know that if we go to a place with God others won't, keeping God first, valuing the secret place over any stage, living in holiness and righteousness, having a standard of excellence, not viewing any ministry as completion, and being real will come naturally.
​
At P.U.S.H., value our walk with God over our work for God. That is why everything on top of the circle is about our personal relationship with God, and everything underneath the circle is our values when it comes to working for God. We will never put our work for God above our walk with God.
Our Beliefs
- Bible: The Bible is the breath of God, infallible, and the truth. There is no error in the Bible.
- Holy Trinity: There is one God in 3 different persons: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
- God: God the Father is compassionate, merciful, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love, faithful, forgiving, and judging. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, jealous, a consuming free, and holy, holy, holy.
- Jesus: Jesus Christ was birthed from a virgin, lived a sinless life, preformed many miracles, died for our sins, and was resurrected on the third day. It is our faith in Jesus that saves us, and He alone can save us.
- Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is God's gift to all believers, it guides us in all truth, convicts us of sin, comforts us, and gives us spiritual gifts. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Jesus living in us to make us more like Jesus.
- Eternity: Every human has a soul, and their soul will live forever. You will rather live separated from God in hell or together with God in Heaven.
- Crucified Christ: Because Jesus Christ was crucified, it gives us peace, healing, and salvation. Because of the blood of Jesus on the Cross, our sins and conscience can be washed clean.
- Blessed Hope: There will be a rapture of God's people at Jesus' second coming.
Our Team
Dr. Zikora Okoye
Founder/President
Evangelist Zikora Okoye is a gifted preacher of the Word of God who has a burning desire for Jesus Christ. While scrolling through social media in December 2018, Zikora saw a sermon clip that would soon change his life. On his bed, Zikora gave his life to Christ after watching the sermon "Watch The Throne // 24Ever". No longer would he be a Pharisee, he would become a disciple of Jesus Christ. He would soon be desperate for God like never before. He is still desperate, and wants to see revival breakout throughout the world. Miracles, signs, and wonders have followed Zikora wherever he's preached. In addition to being a preacher, Zikora wants to be known as a humanitarian who constantly gave himself to the less privileged. Zikora's greatest goal is to make God proud everyday.
​
When Zikora is not preaching, he enjoys his long walks at the park, laughing, and golfing. Zikora still currently works as a pharmacist.
Elijah Carswell
Managing Director
Elijah identifies as a child of the Most High, an heir of God and joint-heir with Christ. His number one goal is to please the Lord and to love Him by loving others, in obedience to His commands. He believes the Lord has blessed him with ministries and gifts to bring glory to God and for the world to experience, not because he has it all together, but because of his heart for others. Elijah is eager to serve the Lord in humility as the Moses of our generation, bringing kingdom deliverance to the world under guidance of the Holy Spirit.
With that, his favorite scripture is Ephesians 4:32 “be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you”. In his free time, Elijah loves to play the piano, swim, play tennis and volleyball, and work out; he also enjoys playing the tambourine.
When asked of the best gift given to him, Elijah’s answer is the Holy Ghost; during his time with the Lord, he loves to build himself up by praying in the Spirit according to Ephesians 6:18 and 1 Corinthians 14:4.
