Life Centre Ministries began in the heart of the Lockwood family in 1968, when they first stepped foot in South Africa. They began by pioneering a church in the town of Port Shepstone. From there they branched out into other cities in South Africa, then across the ocean to India, Mauritius, Poland, etc. Some churches were pioneered while others joined the fellowship. Life Centre Ministries was incorporated in 1974 and has continued to grow. It has been active in over 20 countries through the years evangelizing; establishing churches, Outreaches, Bible Colleges, and Orphanages; and welcoming already established ministries into the fellowship. In 2018 Life Centre Ministries celebrated 50 years of fruitful ministry. The vision is to continue planting and welcoming new churches and outreaches worldwide into their fellowship; assisting and training their charges; cultivating close relationships between churches in the various fields, and providing short and long-term missions opportunities between all of the countries. The goal is to continuously strive to be a powerful, well-balanced ministry that will resource the churched, reach the unreached, and bring reformation to the nations through the preaching and teaching of the full counsel of God's Word, the Bible.
