Our Story
BORN IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER, BUILT ON THE KINGDOM.
In the year 2020, before the first COVID-19 lockdown in Ghana, the Lord gave me a clear instruction that would become the beginning of what is today known as Diplomat Global Network. At that time, I was serving under a father of faith in Accra, Ghana. During that season, the Lord instructed me to return to my home city, Takoradi, to take care of my home.
I obeyed the instruction and travelled to Takoradi that weekend. Shortly after my arrival, the nation entered the COVID-19 lockdown. Churches were no longer permitted to gather physically, and the normal way of conducting church services and fellowship was interrupted. However, what appeared to be a restriction became an opportunity for God to introduce a new assignment.
THE DIVINE INSTRUCTION
In the month of June 2020, on a Sunday morning, after my personal devotion, I was praying and seeking the Lord when I received a clear instruction from Him to begin organizing meetings in my home. The foundation of the meetings was to be the words of Jesus in Luke 17:20–21, where Jesus speaks about the Kingdom of God being within us. The Lord began to impress upon my heart that the Kingdom of God was not merely about a building, denomination, or religious gathering. It was about Christ living and reigning within people, transforming their lives and influencing their world. I understood that the assignment was to raise people who would carry the Kingdom of God wherever they went—to their families, workplaces, communities, cities, nations, and ultimately the world.
THE FIRST MEETING
In obedience to the instruction, we organized our first meeting in my home on a Tuesday evening in June 2020.
There were only three people in attendance:
* Myself
* Lisa
* Yotha
There was no large auditorium, no major financial backing, and no crowd. There was simply a divine instruction, a small gathering, and a conviction that God was beginning something significant. What started with three people in a home became the seed of a greater Kingdom assignment. We believed that God could take something small and multiply it for His purpose.
THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH
Following that first gathering, we continued to pray, fellowship, study the Word, and seek God’s direction concerning the assignment. Then, on Sunday, July 12, 2020, we officially launched the ministry that would become Diplomat Global Network. The launch was not simply the beginning of another Christian organization. It represented the birth of a Kingdom movement founded on the conviction that the Kingdom of God must be expressed through transformed people.
OUR FOUNDATIONAL SCRIPTURE
Our foundation comes from the words of Jesus in Luke 17:20–21: “The kingdom of God is within you”.
This Scripture became central to our understanding of the assignment. Diplomat Global Network was born out of the desire to see people discover the Kingdom within them, develop their God-given identity and purpose, and become ambassadors of Christ wherever God sends them.
FROM A HOME TO A GLOBAL VISION
The story of Diplomat Global Network reminds us that great movements do not always begin in large places.
Sometimes they begin in a home.
Sometimes they begin with three people.
Sometimes they begin during a crisis.
And sometimes the greatest assignments are born when circumstances appear to be working against you.
The COVID-19 lockdown closed the doors of many physical gatherings, but it did not close the purposes of God.
In the midst of the lockdown, God planted a seed. That seed was watered through prayer, fellowship, obedience, and faith.
Today, we look back at that small gathering in Takoradi with gratitude, knowing that what began as a simple home meeting on a Tuesday evening was the beginning of a vision of raising Kingdom minded leaders—men and women who understand their identity in Christ, carry the values of the Kingdom, and influence their spheres of society with righteousness, excellence, love, and truth.
Diplomat Global Network began with a divine instruction, a willing heart, three people, a home, and a Kingdom vision.
And the journey continues.
About Us - Meet the Team
Ernesto De Elchapo is an apostle by calling, a teacher by passion, and an evangelist by instruction. Born to a Togolese father and a Ghanaian mother, Ernesto experienced a tough and challenging upbringing that shaped his perspective on life and awakened within him a deep desire to seek God.
His pursuit of God led him into a deeper study of Scripture and a growing passion for the Word of God. In response to this hunger for spiritual knowledge and understanding, he enrolled at End Time Harvest Bible College, where he successfully completed a two-year Diploma in Biblical Studies. He further pursued his theological education at Logos University in Florida, where he completed a three-year Bachelor's degree.
Apostle Ernesto carries a deep love for the Kingdom of God and a strong desire to see people liberated from spiritual, emotional, and life circumstances that hold them captive. His ministry journey was born out of a burden to reach people beyond the walls of the traditional church and to minister to those who are often overlooked.
This passion led him to establish a hospital ministry, where he began reaching out to patients, families, and individuals with the message of hope, faith, healing, and salvation. Through this ministry, God began expanding his vision and giving him a greater burden for people and communities.
It was through this journey of compassion, evangelism, teaching, and kingdom service that the Lord birthed the vision for Diplomat Global Network—a ministry committed to advancing the Kingdom of God, raising kingdom-minded leaders, teaching the Word of God, and bringing transformation to individuals and communities.
Apostle Ernesto's ministry is driven by a simple but powerful conviction: people need to encounter the Kingdom of God and discover their identity, purpose, and freedom in Christ.
Through preaching, teaching, evangelism, leadership development, and kingdom initiatives, he continues to pursue the mandate God has placed upon his life—to equip people, raise leaders, advance the Gospel, and see lives transformed for the glory of God. Everything about us is Christ!!!
