To raise up warriors of God in the end times, prepare the saints for the dark days ahead, and to be a training resource for equipping churches and Christian families in the last days.
To welcome the Church community with open arms, train an army of believers who are passionate about living out God’s purpose for their lives, and then to give that army an outlet for sharing the love of Christ through outreach and missions.
We will continue our relentless pursuit to reach one more person for Jesus Christ by providing training via in-person and virtual conferences, training videos, book bundles in America and around the world, and going to the ends of the earth to share the hope of Jesus.

Pastor Coco Perez has been a pastor, evangelist, and world mission leader for the past forty-five years. He is currently the lead pastor of Horizon Church in West Sacramento, California, and has been for the past twenty-five years. He completed his ministry degree from the Assemblies of God Global Bible Institute. Pastor Perez has been studying biblical prophecy ever since his conversion in 1973 (48 years). In his own words, “I have studied, and researched this subject consistently, and exhaustively, for thousands of hours.” Coco has been teaching biblical prophecy ever since. As a sixties kid, influenced heavily by drugs and the Hippie movement, his sole desire was to become a professional rock drummer. It wasn’t until his experience with God, one hot summer evening, on the banks of the American River, that God changed those plans and directed him toward ministry. As fate would have it, a new Christian friend placed a book in his hand entitled…The Late Great Planet Earth, by Hal Lindsey. This book sparked an interest in the study of the last days, biblical prophecy, the book of Revelation, and the second coming of Christ.

Bob is also President of the Stone Ridge Foundation (dba National Center for Healthy Veterans) with the mission of “Returning Healthy Veterans to America.” This broad and comprehensive Healthy Veteran initiative ranges from trauma recovery using best practice, faith-based programs to veteran microbusinesses which afford dignified work, skills training, and economic opportunity. Community is a critical element of the initiative, including veteran tiny home villages for formerly homeless Veterans and others. While the Healthy Veteran initiative will help Veterans, the real winner is America with Healthy Veterans positively impacting culture as role models for our youth, as experienced leaders in business, and as standard bearers in every walk of life.
