History
ITN traces its roots to the vision and leadership of Ed Silvoso and the Harvest Evangelism team in reaching cities and impacting cities around the world. From among the thousands of practitioners and colleagues emerging from dozens of initiatives and conferences over two decades, the Apostolic Transformation Network was conceived in 2003 to bring pulpit and marketplace leaders together to walk arm in arm in βapostolicβ? roles to impact cities and nations.
By the annual gathering in April 2006, the building of prototypes leading to nation transformation became the distinctive objective of the Network, and the name was changed to the International Transformation Network. The foundation was squarely laid on the Five Paradigms for Nation Transformation and the vision was expanded to form multiple chapters on every continent and eventually every nation in order to facilitate and accelerate the process.
