HISnearness Chicago was founded under the leadership and guidance of Prophets Shyju and Tiny Mathew, and Revive Nations Ministries.

The church is led by Prophet Chethan Henry and his wife Pastor Nimmy Henry.
God has used Prophet Chethan to lead the American people into the next wave of Revival, preparing and toiling the ground for what is to come. At the age of 14, he experienced a crucial encounter with Jesus that changed the course of his life. This steered him in a new direction to pursue the voice of God and His presence. Today, his ministry carries on a mark of stirring the prophetic and equipping the Church to hear the voice of God clearly.
