Our Story
How We Got Started
Tower of Praise, INC. was established in 1989 to start a Christian radio station in the middle and lower Florida Keys. A tower was donated for this purpose and all the plans and studies for the station were completed. Then began a fifteen year struggle with the FCC and with other organizations in the area competing for the only available FM license of 50-100k watts. While Tower of Praise, INC. was continuously awarded the license by the FCC based on their point system in use at the time, the other organizations kept appealing the FCC decision tying up the process for years. In 2004, Tower of Praise, Inc. decided to step out of the fray and turn our attention away from the radio station and towards utilizing the internet as our primary focus for the advancement of the christian gospel.
Tower of Praise, Inc. exists to equip and empower believers worldwide by providing a free, accessible, and high-quality Online Bible Institute. Through biblical education and discipleship, we train leaders who, in turn, train others—spreading the Gospel, strengthening the Church, and advancing God’s Kingdom.
Orgnaizational Objective
Utilize the internet to help bridge the gap between what’s available and what’s attainable by providing free Christian education, training, consulting and coaching to pastors and churches around the globe.
What do we mean by bridging the gap between what’s available and what’s attainable? There is a wealth of materials and services available on the Internet but without the proper knowledge, time and training, much of what is available is unattainable. We want to bridge that gap by providing services and training that allow pastors, churches and leaders around the world to attain access to what is available.

Church Encourager Initiative
We are currently seeking funding for the Church Encourager Initiative, which is designed to equip pastors and church leaders with personalized insights through the Christian DISC Assessment. This powerful tool helps leaders grow in leadership, communication, and ministry effectiveness by identifying their unique strengths and challenges.
Pastors and church leaders often experience high levels of stress and burnout, with limited access to personalized coaching and development tools. Many struggle with team conflicts, leadership challenges, and personal discouragement, leading to ineffective ministry and, in some cases, early resignation. The Christian DISC Assessment offers a biblically rooted approach to leadership development, providing leaders with the tools they need to understand their strengths, communicate more effectively, and build healthier teams. However, access to such resources is often limited by financial constraints. The Church Encourager Initiative seeks to bridge this gap by offering assessments, coaching, and community support at no cost.
Virtual Church Spark Initiative
We are currently seeking funding for the Virtual Church Spark Initiative, which is designed to bring renewed hope, clarity, and direction to struggling churches through Spirit-led virtual consultation and coaching. Our mission is simple yet urgent: “Reigniting vision. Restoring vitality. Renewing the Church.” Through personalized virtual sessions, strategic guidance, and pastoral care, we help churches rediscover their mission, identify areas for growth, and develop actionable steps toward revitalization. This initiative is especially designed for churches facing decline, burnout, or transition—providing them with accessible, expert support at no cost. With the right spark, we believe every church can thrive again.
