What Pastors are saying

Rev. Bill & Lynna Roberts
Senior Pastor
Woodbridge, VA
"Rudi & Sharon are mature beyond their age. They have God given vision, the administrative wherewithal to see it fulfilled, and the anointing which keeps it on track. They work as a team not only in ministry but also in their daily lives. They are genuine in every facet of their lives. What you see on the platform of the church is who they are in life. We believe that Rudi & Sharon can help your church bring past vision and dreams to fruition in record time."
 

Rudi Swanepoel was born and raised in South Africa. He grew up in Witfield, a few miles east of Johannesburg. As a boy he was fascinated by the ministry of Reinhard Bonnke and Christ for all Nations, who was based in Witfield at the time. He received a Divine calling for the full-time ministry in August, 1987 and aborted all other plans for his life and started out in the ministry after extensive schooling in a Theological College and by the Holy Spirit. From the start the Lord confirmed his ministry with accompanying signs and wonders. Numerous cases of Divine healing and deliverance were recorded through the years as he obeyed and followed the Lord in ministry.

He ministers the Word of God prophetically in a fresh and powerful way. He is gifted to bring insight in the Word for young and old to understand.

Rudi received a Doctorate in Ministry from Christian Leadership University in 2003. He is ordained with the Assemblies of God in the USA.

He met his wife, Sharon, by Divine appointment early in his ministry.

Sharon Swanepoel is a native South African. She grew up in the goldfields of South Africa in Welkom in the Free State. Welkom is about 100 miles North of Bloemfontein. She was very active in church from a young age and as a teenager she initiated a ministry of intercession which expanded quickly. They prayed every week and went out into the streets often to share the Gospel. She received schooling at the AFM Theological College in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Sharon is a seasoned minister of the Gospel and has been a keynote speaker at various conferences both in the USA and South Africa. She preaches the Word of God under a tremendous anointing and with great revelation knowledge. Her messages are practical and powerful.

She is an anointed musician/composer and ministers prophetically through her music. She is an accomplished trumpeter. Through an extensive ministry of intercession she has seen many miracles that changed the lives of many people throughout the world. Today Sharon's music, like the Psalmists of old ushers you right into the Throne Room of God. She is also the author of the children's book series: The Adventures of Seek and Save. Sharon is ordained with the NXL apostolic network based in Youngstown, OH.

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 January 1995 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 October 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. The church has seen momentous growth and people from all walks of life and background found Jesus as their Savior. They witnessed as God performed many miraculous deeds through healing, deliverance and revival in the lives of countless people.

In June 2004 the Lord once again released them to the powerful evangelistic call on their lives.  

In every meeting, across denominational boundaries, 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 are eager to do the will of the Lord for their lives and would love to share the message of God's Glory with you and your church. For ministry information please send them an e-mail.
