Together, Rudi & Sharon form a unique ministry team. Wherever they minister as one there is a shaking in the spiritual realm. Their hearts are focused on the well-being of the local church and they have a tremendous love for people. For five years they ministered in one of the largest churches of the AFM of South Africa, the largest Pentecostal denomination in Africa. In 1994 the Lord visited them supernaturally and instructed them to travel the world with His message of Glory and Power. Many people have been saved, delivered and healed through the ministry God gave them. This ministry will challenge people to rise up and be what God called them to be, walking in the power of the Holy Spirit continuously. In 2000, the Lord called them to Elyria, where they were senior pastors at The Cross Community Church. During the three years and nine months the Lord poured out tremendous blessings on their ministry in Elyria. In 2004 the Lord once again released them to the powerful evangelistic call on their lives. In every meeting throughout the world they see the lives of people being changed by God's Glory as they surrender to the will of the Lord. Rudi & Sharon have inspired and motivated church leaders, pastors, professionals, and ministry leaders both on local and regional level.
