Pastor Chris Ross is led by God to start a church in Belhar. The first service is held in March 2003 with approximately 12 people — a small but faithful beginning, named Belhar Christian Church.
As members from outside Belhar join, the church becomes Breakthrough Christian Church. The congregation fellowships at Excelsior School Hall for over a decade of steady growth and ministry.
Pastor Chris is ordained by Apostle Colin Lafoy, General Secretary of the Assemblies of God Church SA — marking the beginning of a more structured, Spirit-led leadership journey.
The Holy Spirit leads Pastor Chris to Loyalty & Disloyalty by Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, who becomes his spiritual father and mentor — igniting a vision to plant BMI branches internationally.
BMI moves into a dedicated rental building in Belhar with the intention to purchase — but God had even bigger plans in store.
After much prayer, a large property in Delft becomes available. By God's grace BMI purchases it and builds a beautiful Cathedral. The church is renamed Breakthrough Ministries International as branches are planted.
BMI now has branches in Wesbank, Rosendal, Ravensmead, Ext. 13 Belhar, Leiden, Delft South, Midrand, East London, Upington, Symphony, and Accra — and the mission continues.
From Cape Town to Ghana, the Gospel goes forward through every BMI branch.
Pastor Chris Ross founded Breakthrough Ministries International in 2003 with a heart for people and an unshakeable conviction in the power of the Gospel. He was ordained in 2005 by Apostle Colin Lafoy of the Assemblies of God Church SA.
In 2008, a divine connection with Bishop Dag Heward-Mills (his spiritual father) ignited a vision to plant churches across South Africa and beyond. He is also an Evangelist for Jesus the Answer Outreach and leads the Belhar Ministers Fraternal and Association of Related Churches.
He is married to Lady Pastor Lucille, and they have three children: Jamie, Bevan, and Jason.
"God didn't call us to a comfortable faith. He called us to a breakthrough faith — one that moves mountains and changes cities."
A lively, interactive church that believes in the supernatural move of God — miracles, signs, wonders, and the gifts of the Spirit.
Members freely interact, clap, dance, and sing. We believe speaking in tongues, healing, and casting out demons are real and active today.
We function as a spiritual family sharing friendship, life's challenges, and hopes — contributing gifts to a community built on love.
We invest in discipleship through our Breakthrough Bible Training Centre, equipping believers to grow in Spirit, Soul, and Body.
Through Chris Ross Ministries and Jesus the Answer Outreach, we take the Gospel beyond our walls to communities and nations.
Faith expressed through prayer, service, generosity, and genuine love for neighbours both local and global.
BMI believes in structure and order for continuity and proper functioning.
God loves you unconditionally. A new life through faith in Jesus Christ is available to you — right now, right where you are.
At Breakthrough Ministries International, we believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. No matter where you've been, God's grace is greater.
Admit that you are a sinner in need of God's forgiveness (Romans 3:23).
Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, died for your sins, and rose from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord — this simple act of faith seals your relationship with God.
Join a church family. Don't neglect meeting together (Hebrews 10:25). We're here to walk with you.
"Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. Come into my heart, be my Lord and Saviour. I receive Your gift of eternal life. Thank You for saving me. Amen."
We'd love to celebrate with you and help you take your next steps of faith.
