Compassion

Compassion is the foundation of a disciple’s life with God and man. Disciples will strive to love God with all of their heart, mind, and soul. Along with a love for God, disciples will also love others as themselves. Men and women will be identified as Jesus’ disciple through their love for others.

Communion

The word communion is translated from the Greek language as fellowship, association, intimacy, and joint participation. Communion with God is manifested from a disciple’s knowledge and love for Him. Communion is seeking the beauty and wonder of God. Communion is cultivated from a disciple’s time with God in prayer, meditation, praise, and worship.

Community

Collectively, disciples encompass a worldwide body of believers. Disciples are made up of people from every culture, social status, and background. The community of disciples is identified by a shared belief in Jesus. Disciples often gather in smaller groups or fellowships (churches) to encourage, teach, and support one another toward a lifestyle of holiness unto God. Disciples are the representation of God and His love within the world.

Commission

Through the use of gifts, talents, acts of service, and miraculous signs and wonders, disciples are empowered and sent to places near and far to share God’s love and message with the world. Disciples partner in the history and plan of God to represent Him and share His love, mercy, and grace—for His glory, according to His will.

In June 1998, the Lord spoke to Hamp Lee III to send daily messages called Quick Quotes. He began sending inspirational messages to his friends and family in the United States and Japan. In the following year, the Lord renamed Quick Quotes to Spiritual Combatants.

After sending thousands of quotes around the world, the Lord impressed upon Hamp to start a website in November 2005. Hamp was also given the life purpose of re-establishing truth by being a drink offering to the world. As a drink offering to the world, his life would be used as an example and testimony to re-establish a commitment to biblical principles.

In the years that followed, Hamp continued to write on his website and publish several ministry, military, and leadership books. In October 2014, the Lord called him to begin structuring Spiritual Combatants as a church ministry. On August 11, 2016, Spiritual Combatants was formed as a church organization. And on March 11, 2019, Spiritual Combatants received its 501(c)(3) tax exemption from the Internal Revenue Service.

Hamp Lee III is the founding elder of Spiritual Combatants, a global church organization formed in June 1998 to empower disciples to live inspired lives through compassion, communion, community, and commission.
