Transformations

The Sentinel Group was founded in 1990 by well-traveled mission’s researcher George Otis, Jr. The ministry’s early emphasis on restricted or under-serviced frontiers was a natural extension of Otis’ earlier work with the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization, an international mission’s movement launched in the early 1970s by Billy Graham. Throughout the latter half of the 1980s, Otis served as the movement’s senior associate for restricted-access peoples, a role that took him into many nations of the 10/40 Window (the latitude of people groups that have not had the gospel preached to them-approximately northern Africa through the Middle East and Asia). It was during this period that his interest in prayer and spiritual warfare was honed to a sharp edge.

In 1995, the ministry began to investigate these reports in earnest. Fanning out across four continents, Sentinel researchers were able to document numerous examples of spiritually transformed communities. They were also able to identify the factors responsible for these remarkable changes. In June of 1999, their discoveries were released to the public in a widely-acclaimed video documentary called Transformations.
