“Endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer.” — 2 Timothy 2:3–4
Spiritual Combatants exists to train and equip disciples of Jesus Christ to live faithful, disciplined, and compassionate lives, fully devoted to pleasing our Lord and advancing His Kingdom.
We believe following Christ is not passive. It is purposeful. It is costly. And it is worth everything.
Our mission is simple and unwavering: to train disciples to live faithful lives through compassion, communion, community, and commission. These four pillars shape how we grow, how we serve, and how we represent Christ in the world.
Our Discipleship Foundations
Compassion
Compassion is the visible evidence of a life transformed by Christ. It begins with wholehearted love for God and overflows into love for others. Jesus made it clear: the world will recognize His disciples by how they love. At Spiritual Combatants, compassion is not an idea, it is action. We love because He first loved us, and we serve because love demands movement.
Communion
Communion is the lifeblood of discipleship. Rooted in fellowship, intimacy, and shared participation with God, communion shapes who we are before it shapes what we do. Through prayer, worship, meditation, and time in God’s presence, disciples grow in reverence, obedience, and spiritual clarity. We do not rush past God. We learn to abide in Him.
Community
Discipleship was never meant to be lived in isolation. We are part of a global body of believers drawn from every culture, background, and walk of life, united by faith in Jesus Christ. In local fellowships, disciples encourage one another, bear one another’s burdens, and pursue holiness together. We are Christ’s hands and feet in the world, representing His love through authentic relationships.
Commission
Every disciple is sent. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and equipped with gifts, talents, and a heart to serve, disciples are commissioned to go, near and far, to proclaim and demonstrate the love of God. Whether through acts of service, generosity, or bold faith, we partner with God’s redemptive plan to bring hope, mercy, and grace to a broken world, for His glory alone.
Vision
“Write the vision, and make it plain…that he may run that readeth it.” — Habakkuk 2:2
As a 501(c)(3) church organization, our vision is to fulfill the Great Commission by actively living out Matthew 25 by serving those who are hungry, thirsty, naked, in need of shelter, and those in hospitals and prisons.
We do this by training disciples to serve, and by creating real opportunities for them to do so. Faith must be lived, not merely spoken.
Our Story
1998: While serving in the United States Air Force and stationed in Japan, Hamp Lee III began sending daily inspirational messages, Quick Quotes, to friends and family across the U.S. and abroad.
1999: The Lord gave Hamp a clear image: a stick figure holding a sword, with the words Spiritual Combatants. Quick Quotes became Spiritual Combatants, reflecting the call to spiritual readiness and faithfulness.
2005; After sharing thousands of messages worldwide, Hamp launched the Spiritual Combatants website to “re-establish truth by being a drink offering to the world.” Hundreds of articles, quotes, and teachings were written, many of which remain archived today.
2014: The Lord called Spiritual Combatants to be structured as a church ministry.
August 11, 2016: Spiritual Combatants was officially formed as a church organization and granted 501(c)(3) status by the IRS.
2017–2020: The ministry briefly operated as Village Hills Church in Alabama, then later returned as Village Hills Fellowship, continuing to serve local communities while Spiritual Combatants, Inc. remained the legal and organizational foundation.
2022: Village Hills Fellowship relocated to San Antonio, Texas, two years prior to Hamp’s completion of 30 years of military service.
2024: A simple challenge, how many PB&J sandwiches could be made with $20, sparked PB&J Days, a homeless outreach ministry meeting immediate needs with love and dignity. That same year, Spiritual Combatants expanded further with the opening of a community food pantry and the launch of Clothing Remix, providing clothing to individuals and families in need.
Moving Forward
Spiritual Combatants is not about building an audience. It’s about building disciples.
Not comfort, but calling.
Not convenience, but obedience.
We are committed to standing firm, serving faithfully, and advancing the Kingdom of God, together.
Welcome to the frontline of faith.
