The Church of God International (CGI) traces its origins to the Church that Jesus founded in the early first century. Membership in the CGI consists of "called out ones" from around the world practicing Christianity as initiated by Jesus and furthered by the early apostles. The church begun by Jesus, the very one He promised would survive through the centuries, is alive and well. Today, disciples live the faith "once delivered to the saints" in this twenty-first century (Jude 3). They obey the same message taught by Jesus Christ, and they proclaim the same gospel taken to the world by the disciples. Members value the witness and teachings of Jesus Christ as the church's work.
The CGI home office is in Tyler, Texas. Incorporated in 1978, CGI has ministers and congregations scattered throughout the United States and Canada . We also have churches in Kenya, Jamaica, the Philippines, Australia, the United Kingdom and a growing number of countries around the world.

In this episode of “Prove All Things,” guest Barney Rehm uses a story about driving a narrow, winding road in Maui to illustrate the “narrow way” Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7. He explains that the narrow road represents God’s way, where believers must stay alert and avoid falling into either ditch—worldly lawlessness on one side or self-righteous religion on the other. Rehm warns that Satan presses from both sides to pull Christians off course, urging believers to stay centered in obedience and humility, guided by God’s Word and Spirit. The discussion reminds listeners that true faith means walking the middle of God’s road—not veering into sin or pride, but following Christ’s path to life and peace.

The Israeli side agreed to release 1,700 detainees and 250 other Palestinians serving life sentences in Israeli prisons. Humanitarian aid to Gaza will now flow in more freely and abundantly.
