What is it?

RIGX North London is a new apostolic and prophetic community in north London. It shares the vision and RIG Expressions mandate of RIG UK headed by Jon and Lucisha Featherstone, under RIG Nation’s founder, Tomi Arayomi.

RIGX North London came about after Alex and Carol discovered they were both hearing the Lord say to start a mission in Barnet. After seeking the Lord further, the mission began with prayer walking the streets in the Borough of Barnet. This developed in to Street Prophets, a prophetic street mission. In May 2023, the team will meet as a RIGX for the first time.

What is RIG?

“Training people to be prophets and prophets to be people”

RIG stands for Restoring Issachar’s Generation, a mission formed by the scriptural Chronicles 12:32: “Of the sons of Issachar who had an understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do…”

RIG Nation was originally founded in 2007 by Tomi Arayomi with the vision to restore the apostolic and prophetic ministry back into the Body of Christ and to equip this generation to be in a position and condition for use by God.

RIG Nation was originally headquartered in London, United Kingdom and quickly gained an international following. RIG is now the name used to describe the movement that comprises the groups around the world that operate independently under their own apostolic leadership, but share the vision to raise up and restore the apostolic and prophetic in their nation/continent.

What is a RIGX?

A RIG Expression (RIGX) is the birthing place of RIG’s apostolic mission.

As an “expression” of RIG, a RIGX is the activation of the vision to raise up apostles and prophets and occupy the city and nation. Core elements include a regular in-person gathering, prophetic ministry, quality time in worship, giving and sowing, training on hearing God’s voice, prophetic words for the nation and alignment with the RIG vision and the RIG Continent Apostles.

In the UK, there are RIGXs in London, Leeds, Bournemouth and Powys.

What is RIG UK?

RIG UK is a division of the original RIG Nation, founded by Tomi Arayomi.

RIG UK is headed by Jon and Lucisha Featherstone who are the apostolic leaders of RIG UK’s flagship church, RIG London and overseers of the UK RIGX movement.

Jon has served as a full time minister for over 20 years. His ministry places a strong emphasis on prophetic encounter and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Tomi Arayomi

RIG Nation’s founder and apostolic leader

Tomi Arayomi received the Lord Jesus at the age of 15 and began ministry at 16 years old serving as a pastor under Foundation Faith Church. He served there and planted over 10 churches on university campuses UK wide whilst studying law at the University of Hertfordshire. He was later recognised for his apostolic and prophetic anointing and was commissioned under Christian International by Dr. Bill Hamon and Dr Sharon Stone in November 2010. Tomi has since been featured on mainstream media including BBC, Revelation TV, the Times Malawi, TBN, Channels TV where he has been recognized for his national and personal prophetic accuracy.

Tomi is a governmental prophet and has had the privilege of consulting prophetically with leaders of nations in their homes at the United Nations and in Parliament. In 2019, a few months before the UK went into lockdown, Tomi was led by the Lord to relaunch RIG Nation which he had originally founded in 2007. RIG stands for Restoring Issachar’s Generation, a mission based on 1 Chronicles 12:32: “The sons of Issachar who had an understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do.” The ministry’s vision is to restore the apostolic and prophetic ministry back into the Body of Christ and to equip this generation to be in a position and condition for use by God.

In April 2020, Tomi launched Pioneers Church as an online church which together with other training and social commentary programmes, has attracted an international audience of over 100,000 subscribers on RIG Nation’s YouTube channel. During the lockdown, Tomi filmed over 100 training videos which now form the basis of the RIG Nation’s School of Apostles and Prophets and in June 2021, launched apostolic centres in London and Lagos.

Tomi and his wife Tahmar have three beautiful sons, Harvey, Perez and Silas.
