A Little Bit About Us
Spirit and Truth Ministries International supports a network of Christian
servant-leaders linked through caring relationships and sharing the common
goal of advancing the Spirit-led life-style.
In 1972, Larry Arendas founded New Jerusalem Christian Church (NJCC) and
served as Senior Pastor for 28 years raising up more than 11 Pastors, ministry
teams and many Deacons and Deaconesses. Larry and his wife Carole frequently
served as conference speakers and their healing and marriage seminars have
been presented across the United States, Canada, England and China. They
have served on mission teams in Panama, England, Estonia, Latvia, India,
Bangladesh, Honduras, and Canada.
In 2000, Larry and Carole were sent out by NJCC with a charge to equip the
Church at large with the foundational ministries the Lord had graciously
given NJCC. They incorporated Spirit and Truth Ministries International
in 2004.
For 34 years Larry and Carole have brought God’s unconditional love,
healing and freedom to His children using the gifts of the Holy Spirit when
praying. Their ministry is known for empowering believers to move in the
gifts of the Holy Spirit to help others reach their destiny in God.
Larry earned a BS in engineering, an MBA in marketing and finance and worked
with several major firms in management. Carole is a RN and worked in a neo-natal
Intensive care unit.
They have 4 children, 8 grandchildren and live near Charlotte, North Carolina,
USA.
Our Mission is to help Churches be and do what Jesus intended, specifically:
• to get you connected to God
• lead others to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their
Lord and Savior;
• be a source and model of God’s unconditional love;
• provide God’s foundational ministries to new believers;
• grow the local Church by relating in love through differences;
• empower everyone to move in their gifts to help others; and
• share their gifts and anointings by networking with other Churches.
Our Vision is...
to become the mature bride of Christ by expressing and experiencing the unconditional love of the Father for His children in the power of His Holy Spirit.
