“Friends of the Bridegroom. Attendants to the Bride.”
Serving the Church through Kingdom vision, prayerful obedience, and global mission.
We Are Here to Serve You
CHI-Ministries (also known as CityHarvest International) was founded by Pastor Ben F. Gray in mid-90’s. From the beginning, this work has been supported by a dedicated team of friends who have shared the vision and helped shape a range of local, national, and international initiatives.
These efforts have impacted thousands across diverse cultures and walks of life, enabling the ministry to play a small but significant role in helping the Church embody the “salt, leaven, and light” of God’s grace and truth both locally and globally.
Pastor Ben brings a rich and varied background in ministry, with experience across denominational lines, pastoral leadership in local churches, and roles at national and international levels. As a speaker, consultant, publisher, author, and former businessman, he brings a breadth of insight that allows him to minister on a wide range of topics.
At our core, we are here to serve. The heart of this ministry is rooted in our foundational call: “Friends of the Bridegroom, Attendants to the Bride” — a reflection of the spirit found in John 3:29–30. This calling has shaped our journey from the very beginning.
We continue to work closely with like-minded individuals, networks, churches and partners to serve, empower, and equip the Body of Christ in the nations.
