Dr. Nancy West is an Apostolic/Prophetic teacher and trainer, with a heart to train leaders to effectively equip the Saints for the work of the ministry. This anointed "watchman on the wall" has an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to His local churches, and to discern the tactics of the kingdom of darkness.

Dr. West's ministry focus is ministering apostolically and prophetically, power evangelism, and preaching and teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Some of the ministry topics covered in her seminars include: The Making of a Leader, Ministering Spiritual Gifts, Restoring the Foundations, Apostolic/Prophetic Intercession & Spiritual Warfare and Apostolic/Prophetic Release. Using manuals mostly self-written, coupled with a dynamic teaching style, Dr. West imparts clarity and understanding in present-day truth.
Dr. West's vision is two-fold: (a) To pioneer the Apostolic/Prophetic Woman – a mission mandated by the word of the Lord; and (b) To found an intergenerational training center. She is currently the founder and dean of O.M.I. Apostolic/Prophetic School of Ministry.
