Open Heaven Ministries

What Open Heaven Ministries does

Open Heaven Ministries (OHM) is a private, non-profit Christian ministry organization founded in 2012 and operated by founders and overseers Harold and Donna Oberschlake from a PO Box in Ripley, Ohio (Cincinnati area). The ministry functions as a resource center for the Church and individual believers, offering equipping programs that train participants to pray healing for the sick, walk in freedom from spiritual bondage, function in their God-given spiritual authority, and experience Christian spiritual practices including prophecy and deliverance. The ministry's product portfolio is anchored by the OHM Equipping School, which delivers curricula through four channels: in-person classes (Healing School 101, Prophetic School 101, Deliverance School 101, Freedom School 101, and a four-hour Ministry Team Training), online Zoom-based cohorts (DAP 101 over five weeks, DAP 201 over ten weeks as an advanced track, and Prophetic School 101 over four weeks), regional conferences branded as Activate You!, and public gatherings that include healing services, prophetic services, Hosting His Presence events, and impartation services. A proprietary Deliverance Prayer Model is packaged with a physical model card and reference manual.

The technology stack is commodity and non-proprietary: a Wix-hosted public website, Zoom for online class delivery, the Church Center platform for online donations, and YouTube/Facebook/Twitter for media distribution and content dissemination. There is no bespoke platform, mobile application, or proprietary software product; all digital infrastructure is third-party.

The business model is donation-based with no fixed pricing for any educational program. Revenue is generated through voluntary "love offerings" and tax-deductible donations accepted via text-to-give (SMS to 84321), the Church Center online portal, and mailed checks payable to OHM. Customer segments are horizontal and split between institutional buyers (churches seeking speaking engagements, Ministry Team Training, and equipping services) and individual believers enrolling in classes and attending public gatherings. The geographic footprint is primarily regional (Cincinnati/Ohio) for in-person activities, with online classes available globally and an international donor base spanning Israel, Brazil, India, the Philippines, and Africa.

Direct peers

• Christ for the Nations Institute (CFNI): CFNI is a faith-based training institute offering diplomas and certificates in ministry, healing, and missions. It is a direct peer in the equipping-school category, with a longer-running and broader curriculum, serving similar students interested in practical ministry training.
• River Valley Church / Healing Rooms: River Valley Church is known for its Healing Rooms model and training believers to pray for the sick, which is a direct functional match to OHM's Healing School 101 and Ministry Team Training. It competes for the same audience of Christians seeking practical healing-ministry training.
• Global Awakening (Randy Clark): Global Awakening runs healing schools, prophetic training, and impartation services with a strong focus on equipping believers and church leaders. It is closely comparable to OHM's healing, prophetic, and deliverance curriculum and employs a similar event- and training-led model.
• Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry (Bethel Church): Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry is a direct peer in supernatural equipping — running structured online and in-person curricula in healing, prophetic ministry, and spiritual authority. It competes for the same students seeking practical training in healing prayer and the prophetic, but at a much larger scale.
• MorningStar Ministries: MorningStar runs prophetic training schools, conferences, and ministry residencies in the prophetic and healing space. It is a direct peer to OHM's Prophetic School 101 and Activate You! conferences and shares a similar charismatic equipping-school DNA.
• International House of Prayer (IHOP): IHOP is a prayer-and-prophetic ministry headquartered in Kansas City that runs equipping programs, internships, and conferences. It overlaps with OHM in the prophetic and prayer-training space and targets a similar Christian community seeking spiritual formation and ministry activation.

Broad incumbents

• Youth With A Mission (YWAM): YWAM is a large, established faith-based missions organization that runs Discipleship Training Schools and ministry training programs worldwide. While broader in scope, it overlaps with OHM in equipping believers for missions, healing prayer, and practical ministry, operating at significantly larger scale.
• Oral Roberts University / Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association: Oral Roberts' ministry and university have long-standing healing, deliverance, and Spirit-empowered ministry training programs. It is a broader incumbent in the Spirit-empowered equipping category and has historically competed for the same audience of charismatic Christians.
• Church of the Highlands / Highlands College: Church of the Highlands runs a ministry training college and equips believers for practical ministry through structured programs. It is a broader incumbent in church-based equipping with a wider geographic footprint and a more developed learning infrastructure than OHM.

Emerging players

• Christ Healing Center / Ellel Ministries: Ellel Ministries runs schools of discipleship, inner healing, and deliverance training for church leaders and individuals. It is an emerging specialist in the inner-healing and deliverance sub-niche that overlaps with OHM's Deliverance School 101 and Freedom School 101.
