Pastor Thierry Blaise Kalenga
Founder & Senior Pastor
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pastor Thierry Blaise Kalenga is a man of unwavering faith, prophetic vision, and apostolic leadership. Alongside his wife Martine, Pastor Thierry fled conflict in his homeland and found refuge in Zambia’s Meheba Refugee Camp. It was there that their calling to ministry was refined through trials, faith, and service.
Amidst adversity, Pastor Thierry’s ministry blossomed. Gifted with prophecy and a heart for deliverance, he and Martine began ministering to those around them, witnessing miracles and changed lives even in the harshest conditions. In 2010, God opened a new chapter when the Kalenga family was resettled in Australia. Five years later, the Lord gave Pastor Thierry a profound vision that led to the founding of International Apostolic Ministries in Toowoomba in 2015.
Today, Pastor Thierry is recognized as a seasoned apostle and prophet, deeply committed to revival and restoration. His ministry has impacted lives both locally and internationally, igniting spiritual awakening and offering hope to the brokenhearted. Under his leadership, I.A.M. continues to flourish as a beacon of God’s transformative power.
“We are but vessels, yielded to His purpose. Through every trial and triumph, God has been our Rock, our Refuge, and our Redeemer.”
— Pastor Thierry
