Bill Hamon is the founder of the Christian International School of Theology. Today, he is the leader of the Christian International Ministries Network, which is based in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.
In 1964, Bill and his wife, Evelyn, and their three young children moved to San Antonio, Texas where Bill was asked to be a teacher at a Bible college.
While teaching at the Bible college, Bill met a businessman named Ken Williams. Together they formed what became Christian International School of Theology.
From 1969 to 1979, Bill and Evelyn Hamon directed and developed the Christian International School of Theology. During this time it grew from a few students to thousands of students and hundreds of CI Extension Colleges based in local churches. The first CI Extension College was started in 1970 with 20 ministers attending. At the same time, CI Extensions were established in Topeka, Kansas and in Mindanao, Philippines.
During the 1960's Bill Hamon taught on the gifts of the Holy Spirit many times. One semester he taught on one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in one session, and then in the next session had the students practice moving in that gift. These were the first attempts Bill made at activating saints in their gifts of the Spirit.
When the headquarters for Christian International was moved to the panhandle of Florida in 1984, Bill started conducting Holy Spirit and Prophetic Seminars in the new area.
Dr. Bill Hamon's first book, The Eternal Church, was published in 1981.
As many Christians became trained and activated in the Holy Spirit, a need became apparent for networking prophets and other five-fold ministers for fathering, accountability and maturing. Christian International Network of Prophetic Ministries was formed in 1988 to meet this need. [1]
