The Early Days
Dr. Morris Cerullo was raised in a Jewish Orthodox orphanage in New Jersey until the age of 14 1/2 when he gave his life to Christ.

After eight years of ministry, he went on his first overseas missions trip to Greece, and his international ministry was born.
The Vision to Reach the World
Morris realized that the key to reaching the world was to train Nationals to reach their own people. This vision and specific call from God has resulted in millions of Christian ministers being raised up to reach their nations.
