Calls made by The Christian Post to Puredi Hillary Ministries, INC went unanswered Tuesday. The ministry also disabled its website.
Information from cached pages of the website show that the ministry was started by Hillary and his wife, Ruth, in January 2001. The church said three years before Hillary was born, God told his parents, “a military American man and [a] Japanese nurse” that “God would use him mightily.”
God also told them to name him Puredi, which means “Pure in the eyes of God.”
Hillary would go on to get saved at the age of 6, but lost his way while studying at UCLA.
“During one of his times of partying at the fraternity parties, a big electric blue hand came through the ceiling and pointed at him. One person who was with him asked him if he had seen it, to which he responded yes. That person continued to say that it seemed like God was telling him to stop using drugs,” the church said.
He would later become sick, but “no one could diagnose him. “It wasn’t until he repented that “God healed him and restored him spiritually and physically.”
After that episode in his life, he started attending a Filipino church in Los Angeles where he met his wife. They would go on to get pastoral training and receive ordination at a “well-known denomination” that was not named.
He started attending a Filipino church in LA and taught Sunday school there, the same place where he met Ruth. Both Puredi and Ruth received pastoral training and ordination in a well-known denomination.
“Both Apostle Puredi and Apostle Ruth have a burning desire for more intimacy with God and to see people get saved, delivered and experience the ABUNDANT life here on earth that Jesus promised. God continues graciously to give the apostles fresh manna as they diligently seek Him. God's GLORY is continuously seen in their lives and is ever increasing. Those around them are being touched by that glory as well,” the church said.
“Apostle Puredi's funny sense of humor, yet deep seriousness in regards to God and His word, makes him a well-balanced man of God that everyone finds enjoyable to be around. He is also considered a father by many and walks in the apostolic prophetic mantle that has a cutting edge," the church added.
