The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Open the Door of Your Mind: Bishop Paul Zink on Kingdom Faith
About this episode
Bishop Paul Zink, apostolic leader of New Life Christian Fellowship in Jacksonville, Florida, joins Philip Cameron for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of why believers fall short of their God-given destiny. The core diagnosis? "Most closed doors with God exist in the mind of the people he's trying to speak to." Drawing on John 10:10, Bishop Zink unpacks how the enemy's primary strategy is to steal kingdom thoughts before they can take root — and why the church too often defaults to fear instead of faith. The discussion moves from the story of the twelve spies in the Promised Land to Moses at the burning bush, illustrating how divine moments go unrecognized when our thinking is too small. Bishop Zink — who built Providence School in Jacksonville from nothing into an 1,800-student, $30-million debt-free campus — speaks from hard-won experience about overcoming naysayers, land battles, and every natural obstacle. "Faith requires you to trust and act without understanding," he declares, challenging pastors and leaders to stop managing church business and start leading kingdom business. The episode closes with a powerful call for ministers to intentionally create atmospheres of faith where the Holy Spirit is welcome to move. If you are a pastor, church leader, or believer wrestling with a vision that feels too big, this conversation will stretch your thinking and ignite your faith.

“The Lord gave me a word the other day. He said, most closed doors with God exist in your mind — the mind of the people who he's trying to speak to. That's the biggest closed door that God has to overcome.”
“Faith requires you to trust and act without understanding. You don't understand how, you don't understand anything about it, but by faith you act and trust.”
“When we stand before God, it's not about what we did, it's what we could have done.”
What's Discussed
Bishop Paul Zink, founder of New Life Christian Fellowship and Providence School in Jacksonville, Florida, joins Philip Cameron to explore why the greatest obstacle to kingdom advancement is the believer's own mind. Citing John 10:10 and the account of the twelve spies, Zink argues that closed mental doors are God's hardest barrier to overcome. He draws on his own journey building Providence School — now 1,800 students on a $30-million debt-free campus — to illustrate that faith demands action without full understanding. The conversation challenges pastors to move beyond church maintenance into kingdom business, and to deliberately cultivate atmospheres of faith where the Holy Spirit can work.

Intro
Philip:Hey, welcome to Daily Faith. My name is Philip Cameron. And boy, do we have a great show for you. One of my most favorite persons in the world is my guest today. Bishop Zink has been a friend of mine for — well, I've been a friend of his since I was a young boy.
Philip:I came to America first in 1969, and I think we were in his dad's church in 1970, or the early seventies. And that started a friendship. So if you were to ask me, who's my pastor? Who's my mentor? This man is my mentor.
Philip:He's been a great, great friend over the years. He is the apostolic leader of New Life, a great church in Jacksonville, Florida, and he also founded Providence School. You have never seen a school like this in your life.
Philip:And he's our guest today. If you're watching on Facebook or a social media platform, if you could help us by sharing the program today, what you're gonna hear is gonna bring life into your spirit.
Philip:Also, if you're watching us in Tampa, you can watch us on CLFW — CLFW rather. West Palm Beach is WFGC, Fort Myers is WRXY, and Tulsa is KWHB. We are on Tulsa two days a week, Saturday and Sunday.
Philip:So if you're watching on the network, on these stations, we just love you being part of the family, the Daily Faith family. And also we are on Integrity Network, Journey Network, and WGGS Network.
Philip:So whatever you're watching us today, God has a word for you. I've got good news for you. He's in the battle with you. You might think that you are fighting your battle alone. There's a chorus that I've heard for a number of years now as I travel, but it just sticks in my spirit and I sing it to myself all the time: He works in ways we cannot see, he will make a way for me.
Philip:And he is in your battle today, and he is making a way where there is no way. The more impossible things are for you, the better, because that's the opportunity for God's miraculous power. When I was a kid growing up, the old hymn used to ring back in church in Scotland: God, any rivers you think are uncrossable, got any mountains you can't tunnel through? God specializes in things thought impossible. And whatever your situation is today, God is working in it.
Philip:And I want you to know that. You can also watch on YouTube — it's really simple, youtube.com/dailyfaith. And also Daily Faith TV is like our home base. All of our programs are listed there, all the shows we've done. So pretty much every part of what we're doing, we've talked about it. If you're going through a battle, we've already discussed it on Daily Faith and you can check on that. That's like ground zero for our ministry as far as Daily Faith goes.
Philip:I've got some exciting news about our missionary work in Moldova. We are in the middle of camp season right now. We rescue kids and they come and stay in our village called Vatra Village. And this is camp season. These orphan kids spend the whole summer going to villages where many times there's no gospel witness of any kind, and orphans carry the gospel to those that have never heard. And it's just amazing.
Philip:I'm delighted you're here. You're gonna love today's program. You are gonna certainly love Bishop Paul Zink as he shares with us today. I'm delighted you're with me. Welcome to Daily Faith.
Philip:Hey, my friends. Welcome to Daily Faith Today. My name is Philip Cameron and I am delighted you've passed by our way. God has a way of getting you to where he wants you to be. Jonah did not want to go to Nineveh, but that's not the point. God picked him up and put him in a whale and brought him where his destiny was. And God is interested in your destiny.
Philip:He sees you struggling. But what I'm saying is, you are not destined to stay in the mess that you are in right now. He's got a purpose and a plan and a call for you. And no matter what the devil says about you, no matter what your family says about you, no matter what you say about yourself, God has a way that he's gonna pick you up and lift your spirit and let you see beyond the confines of the storm you're in right now.
Philip:One of my favorite stanzas of a hymn is: my heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay. Though some may dwell where these abound, my constant aim is higher ground. And all I want to see is the next hill, the next victory that God has put in our path.
Philip:And talking of that, 35 years ago, my dad called me from Scotland. I was living in Alabama at the time, and he called me and he says that our baby's dying. And he made me go with him to Romania. And I went to this orphanage and I had no idea that I was living in one of the moments of my life. Your life consists of moments, and at that particular time you might not even recognize it, 'cause I certainly didn't.
Philip:And we were in this filthy orphanage in Timișoara, Romania. We go around the bottom floor and I says, okay, dad, okay, we've done enough. Let's go. No, there's an upstairs. I says, no, dad, just go. Let's — I'm gonna drive back to Scotland, go back to America, please. He ignored me, kept going up the stairs, and I walked behind him complaining.
Philip:And at the top of the stairs on the left hand side, there was a door that said Salon Five. And he went and he opened that door and I'm saying, dad, please. And I walked in behind him and he stopped and I crossed behind him, and there's a big glass window and there's like 30 wee kids in these painted iron cribs with horsehair mattresses, covered in their own waste, rocking back and forth.
Philip:And I said, dad, it's the same as downstairs. And as I did that, a moment of my life came, and right in the middle of all these faces, a wee little face was looking at me. And the Holy Ghost said, that's your son. Clear as I'm telling you, I walked into the room and down between the cribs, picked this wee boy up. I knew he was a boy 'cause he was naked from the waist down, covered in his own excrement. And I said, I don't know who you are, but I will not stop until I make you my son.
Philip:I had no idea that I just hit the moment of my life — changed everything. I was on TV all the time, writing books that sold 300,000 copies, singing, made 20 odd albums. And that moment in that orphanage, a filthy place, God directed my moment. And I'm here to tell you something. You might be in a mucky place right now. You might be in a place of despair. Look around. God has a moment, and he's gonna transform your darkness into glorious light.
Philip:And that's what happened to me. So over the last 35 years, we've been helping kids find life and find hope. We have an amazing place in the capital city of Chișinău now called Vatra Village. It is a village of homes on the largest lake, built for rich people to have summer holidays. That lake got covered in algae and they poisoned the lake by putting in tons of chlorine, killed everything, including this project, this building project. It sat on Dar Lake for nine years.
Philip:And on the darkest day of my life, when I thought there's no hope, when I stood in that village green, I says, we've gotta believe God for this place. Every girl you're looking at in that video right now is worth $300,000 to a trafficker. That's how much they're worth if the trafficker gets them. And instead of that, they come to us. We put them back in school. In fact, in the run into the program, I saw a face — a young girl called Natalia — and she's now a doctor. And everyone sees her face now on our Facebook pages: Dr. Natalia.
Philip:And we kept her alive, and our bedroom mom for six years while she went through medical school. Every summer, these kids that we've rescued do camps. My two oldest granddaughters have just come back from being there, sleeping on the floor in places with orphans that have been redeemed and rescued by Orphan's Hand Ministry. And they just sent me this video of our kids. All the kids you see — these camps are run, organized, the meals, everything — are done by kids that are maybe 18, 19, 20.
Philip:You go try to get your church to do this for the whole summer — not three days. VBS every day, all through the summer in a different village. Set up the tent, set up the bouncy castles, set up all the stuff and preach the gospel. Watch this video. It'll bless your heart.
Hi, my name is Alexandra and I'm here at Promise House. Because of you, we got the chance to impact many lives.
Hello, I'm Daniel, and we are at the Promise House, spending our time together after a blessed day of serving the kids and spreading the word of God among them in an amazing way. We are thankful for the opportunity to show them the love you have shown to us.
Hello, my name is Daniel, and here I am at the Promise House. And I want to thank y'all for the opportunity to be here at the summer camp. I learned to serve and spread Jesus' love. Thank you.
Philip:Oh, I love it. That was the first camp we've had at a brand new vision that we have in our ministry called Promise House. We took a girl in — underage — to our big main campus in Chișinău. She was underage, but she came from a horrible family. And the child protection of that village where she came from asked us to take her in. And we took the risk — she shouldn't have been there, she was two years too young. And they made us put her back to the village and it was horrendous. She got back to the village and within a few days she was raped by 10 guys.
Philip:She lost her mind. And the leader of our ministry in Moldova was a young girl that we rescued 17 years ago. Her name is Nadia. And Nadia came to me and she says, dad, I'll never ever put a girl back again like that. Don't ask me to do that again. And that started us looking for a place for younger kids. Vatra Village was 16 and up, but we needed a place for younger than 16. And we've been looking for months and months.
Philip:And we finally found a place — two homes together on one piece of property, 12 to 15 acres of ground with a barn and an orchard. That's what you're looking at right now on the right hand side. These two homes can take in 25 kids between the age of four and 16. And there's a barn that we're gonna turn into a youth camp, a permanent youth camp.
Philip:Right there. And we're gonna have a swimming pool and a zip line and all kinds of stuff. And we'll take kids from all over the country of Moldova, the poorest country in Europe. Excuse the colors — I can't wait to change the colors and take those fancy beds out and put in bunk beds for our kids. This house is unfinished, it's like 85% complete. And we can't wait to get started.
Philip:We need a miracle of God to provide for the payments of this place and also to finish that second house. And most importantly, we need 300 people to give $1 a day. If I took you there and said, these two houses and this barn — we're gonna reach hundreds of kids every year. These two homes will rescue 50 kids between the age of four and 16. And I can do all of this for a dollar a day. Would you do it? Would you reach beyond your world to the kids that have no hope, abuse and starvation and neglect?
Philip:And we can take them in and share the gospel with them. And then when they turn 16, they'd be going up to Vatra Village and going to university — a whole life rescued for a dollar a day. That's what I'm praying for. If 300 people will think that thought, 300 folks, I can open that first building right away. We've got the house parents and teachers combined set up for the first one. We can start right now.
Philip:If you can give a dollar a day, let the Lord speak to your heart. Our address is on the screen now: PO Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. Your gift can change a life forever. You can change a world — you can change an entire world. Who they marry, what's funny right now, our kids are getting married. All the ones we rescued years and years ago are getting married.
Philip:And Andrew was in Moldova recently. He took my two granddaughters to Moldova and one of our girls was getting married — Oxana. And Andrew sat at a table at the wedding, and everybody at the table around the table was someone that had been in Vatra Village, still connected with their new husbands and wives and babies. He says, dad, every one of them we'd rescued by the power of God. Someone give a dollar a day to make that happen.
Philip:And you could help us, please. If you go to dailyfaith.tv, there's a giving page right there. You can sign up there. Also you can go to our 800 number — it's 833-Daily Faith. Really simple. A real live person will take your call right now. Let's get this house sponsored so we can get it open. I'm believing God to have it open by September. If you can give a dollar a day, we can — I know we can. Let the Lord speak to your heart.
Philip:I'm delighted to have with me my friend Bishop Zink. He is the apostolic leader — he founded this church in Jacksonville, Florida, New Life Christian Fellowship. It's an amazing place. On top of that, he also founded Providence School, which is the premier school, an amazing place in Jacksonville, Florida, packed to the walls, wins all kinds of championships, and it's just amazing.
Philip:But most importantly, I love him as my friend. And Bishop, I'm so delighted to have you with me on Daily Faith. God bless you.
Paul Zink:Thank you, Philip. It's so good to be with you again. And I love the vision that God has given you and the follow through. A lot of people get vision, but they don't follow through. And I really appreciate that. You know, just listening to you talk about faith and moving forward and how people don't do that very often.
Closed Doors Begin in the Mind
Paul Zink:The Lord gave me a word the other day. He said, most closed doors with God exist in your mind — the mind of the people who he's trying to speak to. That's the biggest closed door that God has to overcome.
Philip:12 spies go into the promised land, 10 come back and say, yep, there's milk and honey. And God kept saying, we're gonna take you to a place flowing with milk and honey. When you see the milk and honey, you know you've arrived. And they came back and said, look at the grapes, surely the land flows with milk and honey — however...
Paul Zink:The doors of the mind were closed. That's the biggest obstacle God has to his kingdom being placed on earth as it should be. The mind of his people — they cannot believe, they don't follow through. See, every thought, Philip, every thought has a nature behind it. It's either a God nature or a devil nature.
Every Thought Has a Nature Behind It
Paul Zink:Now the Bible says, John 10:10, the thief comes but to kill, steal, and to destroy. So when God gives you a thought, the enemy comes to destroy, to steal it. And so that area of your thought life is what keeps you from moving ahead or finishing the task that God has for you.
Paul Zink:Why are you here today? Why are we born at this time? Is it just for us to sit around and wait for Jesus to come back? No. There's territory. The nations of the earth are yearning for God's people to take their authority and move in and take control of territory and land and people groups.
Paul Zink:And it's so very, very difficult. Every thought has a nature behind it. Judge the nature behind your thoughts. Does it glorify God? Does it hinder God? Does it promote the kingdom? Does it weaken the kingdom?
Paul Zink:You know, I pastored for many years and I had more people come with complaints. We'd throw out a vision and it was, no, that's dreaming. When I started the school here, which now has close to 1,800 students, a campus worth $30 million — it's paid for — when we started that, people were — I had ministers say it was Zink World, like Disney World. That crazy. And it was a dream, you know, that we were just living in a fantasy.
Giants in the Land and Naysayers
Philip:I was with you going through all the naysayers and all the battles and all the negativity, and you just — unbelievable — you just set your face. Because there's all kinds of land issues, as far as water, everything. There's always giants in the land. If you're not fit to kill a giant, you're not fit to possess the land — they're tied together.
Paul Zink:That's exactly right, Philip. But see, the biggest obstacle is in the minds of God's people. And in their ministers many times. Pastors, God's trying to tell you to do something, but it's too big for you to understand, too big for you to comprehend. So your mental and emotional wellbeing is really defined by your ability to understand the awesomeness of God.
Paul Zink:If you don't know the awesomeness of God, you're gonna think all things are impossible instead of all things are possible. And sadly, the church always tends to go to the negative. We always see the boogeyman, we always see the negativity. You would think the devil's in charge, instead of the fact that God is high and lifted up and his train fills the temple. We serve the winner.
Paul Zink:You know the problem, Philip? When we begin to look at ourselves — I'm too weak to lead that far, I can't get that done, this is beyond my capability, I'm not smart enough, I don't have enough money. Money is an issue always. And I can't influence people to help me do this or whatever. But if God said to do it, it can be done.
Paul Zink:So again, the biggest obstacle for the victory, whether it's in your church or personal life or whatever it might be, is your own thinking. Your own mind. That's the door that God has to get through. That's the hardest door for him to get through. The most difficult bastion for God to overcome is your thought process.
Paul Zink:Moses is raised in the palace with Pharaoh — they thought they were God. And he ends up killing someone and he ends up looking after Jethro's sheep, his father-in-law's sheep. And he was content. He thought the rest of his life was going to be looking after someone else's sheep, until God had a burning bush moment.
Philip:A moment. This is what I'm talking about — this book I'm writing just now, it's called Moments. And until you recognize the divine impulse of a moment, you can sit lost and look after someone else's sheep all your life.
Paul Zink:You can, and most do. That's the real problem. You see, faith requires you to trust and act without understanding.
Moses, Burning Bush, and Divine Moments
Philip:Oh wow. Say that again. Say that again.
Paul Zink:Faith requires you to trust and act without understanding. You don't understand how, you don't understand anything about it, but by faith you act and trust. Jesus said, Peter, get out of the boat. If it's you, bid me come. Okay, come. And you know, it says we will rule and reign with Christ.
Paul Zink:What most people don't understand is we're supposed to be living in the kingdom now. Kingdom come. Because when we operate as though we're living in the kingdom of God now, we'll be operating in that eternal kingdom when he sets his millennial reign and beyond — new heavens and new earth. That's where we're supposed to shine. But this is the school, it's the rehearsal. It's the rehearsal for what you will be and what you can do in the eternal kingdom.
Faith Requires Acting Without Understanding
Philip:So what you're saying is that in the world we live in, the natural world, you get guys — we all start out the same — and you get guys like Donald Trump that make billions of dollars, and then there's guys that punch their clock and go to work. So as there are different levels of people in the natural realm, in the kingdom coming realm, there'll be those who will have greater ability because they've caught the point of it all. They fought the fight here on earth.
Paul Zink:This is just a training ground. This is like the bootcamp. And we have to have faith in the one who called us, that he is able to finish the work in us. He that began a work in you shall finish the work in you. It's just so important for us to have a different view of who we are.
This Life as Kingdom Rehearsal
Paul Zink:Pastors, many times my job is to preach the word, which is important — get good Bible messages, lead a congregation, and touch a community for Jesus, which is all good. But there's so much more. What about taking that church and that community of people and leading them into kingdom business? There's a difference — not just church business. Just like you're talking about the Promise House. They could be part of a kingdom business over there.
Paul Zink:But they're too busy just trying to hold onto what they got in this little community that they have. Surviving, and maybe even looking like they're pretty good people. But you know, when we stand before God, it's not about what we did, it's what we could have done.
Philip:I mean, we've taken in, over the years — decades now — we've taken hundreds and hundreds of kids in. And they're all married and doing well in business and they're working and they're educated and stuff. And we've given them that gift. But out of all of those kids, you get ones that are kingdom-minded and they start thinking differently, and you start seeing them turning away from the downstream. And you watch them turning into the current and you say, oh, here's someone that is a kingdom thinker rather than just an exister. And sadly in a lot of the church today, we have existers, but not a great deal of kingdom thinking.
Paul Zink:It's very true, Philip. You know, the pastor's job is to create an atmosphere of faith that the Holy Spirit and the angels of the Lord can feel welcome to work in. So in your mind, if you're a doubter, if you're looking at your own weaknesses — I can't do this — the greater is he that's in you than he that's in the world. If you learn to create an atmosphere. I had to learn to — we started with 13 people at this church. And the thing about it is, every service the Lord told me, with every message and with every offering, you preach what's going to be, and you believe it and you convince and you create the atmosphere that makes it believable.
Creating Atmospheres of Faith
Paul Zink:We are to give great knowledge and doctrinal truth. But you can have doctrinal truth and no atmosphere for it to be creative impartation. As a minister, you've got to learn how to create atmospheres that God can use and work in.
Paul Zink:Philip, you do that all the time. I've seen you do it. I mean, why do they have you come onto networks when they need a fundraiser? They do that all the time.
Philip:But I tell the folk all the time, I'm not a fundraiser, I'm a faith raiser.
Paul Zink:You're not. You're an atmosphere creator. That's the difference. And when this new challenge we have in Moldova right now — naturally speaking, you're thinking there's just no way. You're going through a real battle with your voice, so you have not been able to travel and speak. And that's where the income for this comes from.
Philip:So I'm looking at this situation right now thinking, well, does it depend on my voice or does it depend on God? And to my amazement, we are two of three payments paid for the house. We're about to start finishing and painting the house and fixing it up. And all of the natural means of support that I would usually count on haven't been there, but God still has been there.
Paul Zink:God is unique in himself. He is his own biosphere. He lives and moves and has his being within his own power. And if we can get into there, if we get into this kingdom that you're talking about, our whole world could be transformed. He is the beginning of everything.
Paul Zink:There's a word — it's actually, well, I don't know what it is in Hebrew, but it says that when God created — Genesis means the beginning. And there's a term called monogenetic. The very first genesis of everything, number one, started here. Well, God's the monogenetic of every thought, every deed, every vision. And so how do we get there? We turn back to the monogenetic of the creation, which is God. You gotta turn back to him every time. Not, well, I failed here, I don't have the education here, I don't have the personality here. Go back to the mono-genesis — God himself, the creator. And that's how you get things done.
God as the Monogenetic Source of Vision
Philip:Every time I talk to you, all of my life, since I've been a young, young guy, every time I talk to you, you leave something inside me that makes me want to reach further and believe God for more. When I saw you build Providence — this ridiculous school of utter excellence — and the negativity and all of this stuff, it let me know that you are a great man of faith. We are out of time, and I want to thank you for being with me today.
Philip:If you're anywhere in the Jacksonville area, New Life Christian Fellowship is an amazing church. Bishop Paul's son Paul is the pastor there. Providence School is the place to put your kids. Thank you for being with me, Bishop.
Paul Zink:I love you so much. And let's — I'm gonna send you some new pictures. I don't like the one you got there. I was 50 pounds ahead.
Philip:I love you, my friend.
Paul Zink:I love you too, Philip. Be blessed.
Philip:Bless you. Thank you for being on Daily Faith. See you again. Bye-bye.
Paul Zink:My pleasure.
For over 25 years, the Cameron family has been changing the lives of orphans in Romania and Moldova — from providing running water, flushing toilets, and clean wells to coal for heat, new windows, as well as food and clothing. They champion the physical needs of the orphans in these broken and desolate countries. Many of Moldova's orphans are saved from the horrors of trafficking through homes founded by the Camerons. And in the process, orphans become daughters and sons.
They come to know their heavenly Father and are forever changed by the love of Jesus. God help the Camerons lift these amazing young men and women out of darkness. Now no longer orphans, they wanna return and invade that very same darkness with the light of Jesus Christ. Orphan's Hands equips these daughters and sons to become missionaries.
Your monthly gift of $31 will allow us to rescue and take in more girls and boys, saving them from the hell of human trafficking. Your monthly partnership will allow us to care for those in the Orphan's Hands homes in Moldova and Ukraine. If you want to join Philip and Chrissy in taking care of these precious young people, please contact us today by calling 833-Daily Faith.
You can also give by going online to www.dailyfaith.tv, or by writing to Post Office Box 25, Clinton, Tennessee 37716. So many lives depend on what we do. Thank you for loving the lost.
Common questions
What does Bishop Zink say is the biggest obstacle to God's people moving forward in faith?
Bishop Zink says the biggest obstacle is the minds of God's people — not circumstances, money, or opposition. He argues that most closed doors with God exist in the minds of the people he's trying to speak to, and that if believers can't comprehend the awesomeness of God, they'll default to thinking all things are impossible rather than possible.
How does Bishop Zink define faith, and what example does he use?
He defines faith as trusting and acting without understanding — you don't know how something will work out, but you act anyway. He points to Peter stepping out of the boat as the model: Jesus said come, and Peter moved before he could fully process what he was doing.
Why does Bishop Zink say our life on earth matters for eternity?
He sees this life as a training ground — a rehearsal — for the eternal kingdom. He says we're supposed to be living as kingdom citizens now, because how we operate and grow in faith here directly shapes who we'll be and what we can do when Christ establishes his eternal reign.
What's the difference between 'church business' and 'kingdom business' according to Bishop Zink?
Bishop Zink says church business is focused on maintaining a congregation, preaching good messages, and surviving within a local community. Kingdom business goes further — it's about leading people to invest in and advance God's purposes beyond their own walls, like supporting mission work in Moldova. He warns that many churches are too busy holding onto what they have to pursue the bigger kingdom call.
How did Bishop Zink build the atmosphere of faith that grew New Life Christian Fellowship from 13 people to a church with a $30 million campus?
He says he learned to create an atmosphere of faith in every service — preaching what was going to be, not just what was, and convincing the congregation to believe it alongside him. He argues that doctrinal truth alone isn't enough; a minister has to cultivate an environment where the Holy Spirit and angels feel welcome to work, turning belief into creative impartation.
