Bishop Quist loves God and loves people. The belief that when people know
better, they do better has led him on the journey to equip the body of Christ for
the work of the Kingdom.

Ministerial visionary and spiritual shepherd to many around the globe, Bishop
Joseph Abotareye Quist founded New Light Chapel International, his first
pastorate, in 1995 after having labored as just a minister with a strong gift of the
Prophetic for 10 years prior. It was a small beginning, in a small church in Ghana-
West Africa, pastoring a small, 10-member congregation. Seven of his first ten

members were kids. And now 30 years later he is just as committed to the
thousands he oversees as he was to the first ten. His commitment to serving God
and proclaiming the life-changing message of victory through Christ started at the
tender age of 12. As a child he was able to see Prophetically in the spiritual realm
it was only by God’s direction that he was able to develop his spiritual gift into a
ministry that would bless many nations. He holds 2 Degrees in Christian Studies a
master’s degree in Christian Counseling a Doctorate of Christian Education a
Doctor of Divinity and a PHD. Through JQM his goal is to multiply effective
kingdom leaders all around the world.
