"Revelation 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. KJV"

Bishop Kani

My name is Bishop Kani. I came into the truth in 1995 while living in Brooklyn, New York. When I first learned that I was an Israelite and that Christ died solely for the nation of Israel, I was overcome with shock and disbelief. Determined to disprove what I initially saw as a radical claim, I embarked on a journey for answers. However, through deep study of both scripture and historical records, I came to a profound realization: the teachings I had received in the Christian church were false, and the truth had been deliberately hidden.

I came to understand that Black, Latino, and Native American people are indeed the true biblical descendants of Israel. Our identity has been stolen through centuries of slavery and colonization. Our true nationality erased, our names changed, and our heritage stripped away. It finally made sense why our history—as taught—always begins with slavery, oppression, and colonial rule. What I once thought was a conspiracy, I discovered to be undeniable truth. I could no longer ignore what I had learned. I humbled myself before the Most High and Christ, repented as an Israelite, and committed my life to spreading this message of truth and awakening.

In 2003, when Israel United in Christ (IUIC) was founded by Bishop Nathanyel, I joined him in the mission. Two years later, in 2005, I relocated to Orlando, Florida to open IUIC’s second school. After establishing a strong foundation there, I moved once again in 2016—this time to Austin, Texas—to build another school. My lifelong mission is to establish places of learning for our people, where they can rediscover their true identity, history, and relationship with God.

I am a husband and a father of 13 children. As an evangelist, I have traveled to more than 25 countries, preaching the gospel and bringing light to our people scattered across the globe. I am a servant to my nation and labor tirelessly for all who seek truth and knowledge. My goal is to leave behind a legacy of faith, education, and empowerment—to be remembered as a builder of something greater than myself.
