Written by Mike Hernandez

PASADENA–California Governor write-In candidate Pastor Che Ahn has received endorsements from a multitude of Christian leaders (see excerpts below):

  • Gene Bailey (Host of FlashPoint and Revival Radio TV)

“Papa Che thank you for running for governor. No one better than someone who comes from another culture and understands what it means to be an immigrant. You are the man for the hour. Change is coming to California.”

  • Lou Engle (Co-Founder of TheCall)

“Che Ahn has led churches in 72 nations, touching every kind of societal change and transformation. He will hold fast to moral integrity. He can shift the culture of California because he stands for the good of people; for righteousness. During COVID he took a stand and refused to give in to the government of Pasadena and California even in the threat of being shut down. He challenged Gavin Newsom and won. He can be a factor of transformation with wisdom and leadership. Vote for Che Ahn as governor. It is time for a shift in California.”

  • Jim Garlow (Founder and CEO of Well Versed, Inc.)

“I know the governmental realm in California is the fourth largest economy of the world. Che Ahn has a network of churches (40,000 churches) under him that is so large they stop counting in Harvest International Ministries. I don’t know of anyone with an affiliated network of that many congregations. He is comfortable handling large amounts of money. He knows how to stand against pressure. Pastor Che Ahn stood when the government shut down churches during COVID. How many candidates will protect life in the womb and protect marriage?”

  • Craig Huey (California Marketing and Advertising Executive)

“Vote your values. This election we can vote our values. I endorse him. He is the only Christian Conservative Republican candidate that can win in the State of California.”

  • Dr. Cindy and Mike Jacobs (Co-Founders of Generals International)

“California is at a hinge in history. God wants to put a mantle upon the State of California. Get out, get registered and vote. California, it is time to come together.”

  • Bill Johnson (Senior Leader of Bethel Church, Redding, CA)

“This state is known for greatness in history, but it has fallen in disrepair. I am thankful for Che Ahn for his wisdom, integrity, vision, hope and willingness to live with sacrifice. This man knows how to serve and lead.”

  • Paul and Kim Owens (Senior Pastors of Fresh Start Church, Peoria, AZ)

“As California goes, so goes the nation. We need a man of God leading California to a place of restoration and revival.”

  • Dr. Chuck Pierce (Apostolic and Prophetic Ministry in Corinth, TX)

“When I heard that Che Ahn had chosen to put himself in line to stand and become a governing force in California, I was thrilled. Che is an awesome person. I walked with him. I encourage you to support him. How California goes, this nation will go. I knew I had to get behind him. Support him.”

  • Mike Signorelli (Founder, Lead Pastor of V1 Church, host of The Narrow Way)

“I have seen his leadership up close that required courage, wisdom and deep conviction. He leads with integrity when it costs him something. He listens before he speaks. California doesn’t need another career politician; but a leader who understands families, faith, community and who governs with strength and deep compassion. Under his leadership we will see moral clarity and he has the backbone to stand for truth. Families will be prioritized and communities will be strengthened.”

  • Dr. Candice Smithyman (Founder of Dream Mentors International) 

“Dr. Che Ahn is a man of faith, a man of integrity, a family man. He cares for truth, justice, righteousness to comes forth with great grace–bringing truth and direction; prosperity and alignment to the state of California.”
