Her young son suffered from severe asthma, resistant to medical treatment. In the stillness of a desperate night, Anne turned to prayer. During that time, God revealed a hidden spiritual barrier\u2014unforgiveness. Convicted, she confessed a long-held resentment toward a family member. Immediately, she experienced a powerful shift, and miraculously, her son&#8217;s condition improved instantly. This divine revelation became the foundation of her lifelong ministry\u2014healing and freedom through confession, forgiveness, and the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Birth of VMTC<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In the late 1970s, Anne founded Victorious Ministry Through Christ (VMTC) to equip believers with a biblical, Spirit-led model of prayer ministry. What began as training for clergy prayer teams soon expanded to include laypeople, empowering them to minister healing and freedom through structured, Spirit-directed prayer.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A Lasting Legacy<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Anne\u2019s impact continues today through her writings and teachings, which lay the foundation for VMTC\u2019s core principles of prayer ministry. Now a global ministry, VMTC operates across multiple countries, bringing thousands into wholeness, freedom, and deeper intimacy with Christ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.\u201d \u2013 John 8:36<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_447bff20 align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmtc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/VMTC2024-54-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"VMTC Victorious Ministry Through Christ, prayer school, ordained ministers, scriptural foundation, Holy Spirit, healing power of Jesus Christ\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vmtc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/VMTC2024-54-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.vmtc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/VMTC2024-54-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vmtc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/VMTC2024-54-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.vmtc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/VMTC2024-54-600x900.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_custom\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_1 mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default reversed stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:0rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_8a2a463d\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image has_ratio align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><div style=\"padding-bottom:100%\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vmtc.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/getty-images-mDmMlu8DL9E-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_3fdaf282\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"flex-shrink-0 flex flex-col relative items-end\">\n<div class=\"pt-0\">\n<div class=\"gizmo-bot-avatar flex h-8 w-8 items-center justify-center overflow-hidden rounded-full\">\n<h3>VMTC&#8217;s International Expansion<\/h3>\n<p>Anne S. White recognized a critical gap in ministry\u2014clergy often lacked confidential prayer support. This realization led to the founding of Victorious Ministry Through Christ (VMTC), initially focused on equipping ministers and their spouses as prayer ministers. However, as the need for healing prayer grew, laypeople also began to take an active role, becoming an integral part of the ministry. While clergy traditionally held leadership positions, this is evolving, with more lay leaders stepping into key roles.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The First VMTC Training School and Early Growth<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The first VMTC training school was held in Florida in late 1970. The following year, VMTC Florida was formally established as an interdenominational charity, with Anne S. White serving as president alongside a board of directors representing various local churches.<\/p>\n<p>From these humble beginnings, VMTC prayer ministry flourished internationally. Today, VMTC serves individuals in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweden, Finland, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA, each with its own national board overseeing prayer ministry.<\/li>\n<li>In Norway, the ministry is known as &#8220;Helhet gjennom Kristus&#8221; (Wholeness Through Christ).<\/li>\n<li>VMTC Pakistan, once active, is currently experiencing a season of renewal and revival.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_auto\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_middle type_default stacking_default\" style=\"--columns-gap:0rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_35b89359 has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container us_custom_72119110 has_bg_color\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><h2 class=\"w-text us_custom_9ad16fb4 has_text_color\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Our Core Values<\/span><\/span><\/h2><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_f2f613e8 has_text_color\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><ul class=\"n8H08c UVNKR \">\n<li class=\"zfr3Q TYR86d eD0Rn \" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>As a ministry, we are dedicated to serving in the love and truth of Jesus Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit.
