Pastor Bill & Lynna Roberts, Christ Chapel, Woodbridge, VA

Words people of our congregation use to describe the ministry of Rudi and Sharon are "WOW, AWESOME, ANOINTED, LIFE-CHANGING, REFRESHING" and the list goes on. In fact one of the most frequent question we receive from people is "when are you going to have them back?"

As a couple who have been ministering in the Washington, D.C. area for over eighteen years, we are convinced that God is doing something fresh and exciting – through a new spiritual anointing – in our churches, nation, and around the world. In so doing He has raised up this very special couple, Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel, to proclaim His Glory to the Church so that it can and will be better prepared for what is coming in the future.

The ministry of Rudi and Sharon has impacted our lives and our church in an unprecedented way. Through the powerful proclamation of God's Word, anointed facilitation of worship, and powerful ministry in the Holy Spirit, they have helped us fully grasp God's presence and better understand what "Life in the Spirit" is all about. Simply put, God has used them to direct our paths toward a transformed life and a transformed church. We are convinced that what God has done in our personal lives and the church through the ministry of Rudi and Sharon, can likewise occur in you and your church, regardless of size, location, or denomination.

It is a privilege for us to endorse the ministry of Rudi and Sharon in that there is nothing more important to us that than to see the church renewed, revived and stepping out to fulfill its intended purpose in our communities. We trust that you share these goals. We give you our assurance that allowing Rudi and Sharon to join with you as they have with us to usher in "God's Glory" will be a GIANT step in seeing new life breathed into you and your congregation.
 
Pastor Sam Johnson, Priority One Missions & Legendary Missionary

I'm thrilled to endorse the ministry of Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel. I first met them, when Rudi accompanied me and seven pastors to the Republic of Georgia to preach a leaders conference and to preview the building of the Bible School.

This was the time when we were beaten up by a renegade defrocked Orthodox priest. Rudi was severely attacked. However, the brutal confrontation only deepened his love for missions, and he and Sharon have become founding partners of PRIORITY ONE.

The pastors and leaders in the Republic of Georgia loved his ministry – and so did those of us from America. His style, presentation, insight to the Word, and passion are more than refreshing, they are compelling.

Rudi and Sharon of South Africa, were uniquely brought together with the ministry of Bill Roberts of Woodridge, Virginia upon their arrival in the USA in 1989. Bill mentored them, taught them, and thrust them out, first as pastors in Ohio and now to the world.

Rudi accepted the pastorate of First Assembly in Elyria, Ohio, and witnessed enormous growth in the years that followed. However, he felt strongly compelled to share his unique gifts with a larger audience. So, he has resigned and is offering his ministry to the world.

This couple, made their home in Atlanta, Georgia, and will be a huge blessing to you and your people. I promise you – they are special.

Please consider them for a Sunday, a Sunday and Monday, or whatever format you desire – you will not be disappointed.

I'm proud to present them to you!

 
Pastors David & Kathie Thomas, Victory Christian Center, Youngstown, OH

"Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel are some of our favorite ministry guests at Victory Christian Center. The Swanepoels always bring a fresh Word from the Lord that blesses and feeds our congregation. Sharon is a psalmist and is very in tune with hearing what The Spirit is saying. Dr. Rudi is an anointed preacher and as a couple, they flow in the Spirit and together beautifully!

I also know that this couple live privately what they portray publicly.

I whole-heartedly endorse and recommend Dr. Rudi and Sharon for ministry in your church or ministry.

They will definitely be a great blessing!"
Pastor Michael Petrucci, Praise Assembly, Newark, DE

It is my pleasure to recommend Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel to all of my pastor colleagues. In advance of your invitation for them to come I would like to describe them to you. They are energetic, sincere, confidently Pentecostal, gifted, and sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Their service to the church is more than just preaching, it is ministry. They are unlike any other Evangelist that I have ever had. They are a pastor's best friend and they will be used just as described in Ephesians 4:11

"It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ."

Our entire church body was lifted up and edified by their most recent time of ministry at Praise Assembly. A dozen were baptized in the Holy Spirit in the Sunday evening service, the Word of knowledge was properly exercised, and many were slain in the Spirit. Although their time with us was brief, their ministry created a real excitement among our congregation to the point where our people regularly brought outsiders to the meetings. The best way to describe the services would be to say that they were full of the "Word with signs following", Mk 16:20. We will be scheduling Rudi and Sharon to come back in the very near future.

 
Dr. Phil Krist, Lakeside Assembly, Shelby Township, MI

It's so encouraging for a pastor when members of his congregation keep asking him, "When can Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel return to minister to us again?" If you and your congregation are desirous for fresh revelation from God's Word, a prophetic ministry that will bring healing to the innermost being of a person, and an invigorating baptism of joy, I heartily recommend Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel. The Swanepoel's represent not only a ministry of amazing insight into both Word and Spirit, but a spiritual integrity that allows them to be awesome instruments of blessing to the Body of Christ.

 
Pastor Dale Donadio, River of Life Worship Center, Spotsylvania, VA

I am honored to endorse the Swanepoels in their service to the Lord. They are a dynamic couple with a deep passion for the Word. Rudi makes the word of God come alive and reaches the very core of our spirit. Sharon's boldness to speak truth to the body is authentic and needed in this season of the body of Christ. They seek to hear from the Lord and are willing to share His heart to all. The Swanepoels are a welcome blessing to our fellowship at River of Life Worship Center.

 
Pastor Artie Kassimis, Word Alive Bible Church, Norwalk, CT

My wife and I have had the pleasure of knowing Rudi and Sharon since 1997. They are, without question, the best ministry team that we have ever seen. Their ministry is comprised of dynamic preaching/teaching, heart felt worship and the true prophetic. It is not easy for us to say that about anyone. We have seen many come and go under the guise of a Prophet, but Rudi and Sharon are the real thing!

They have ministered in our church many times, and on every occasion they have taken our church to the next level. The fruit that they leave behind continues to grow even to this very day. They are the most requested guest ministers that we have ever had. Typically, the last day of their meeting, people are always asking, "when are you coming back?"

It is not only their ministry that intrigues us, but it also their lives. They live in purity, holiness and with the utmost integrity. They live a lifestyle that sets a standard for all of us to follow.

Besides all of the above, they are also our dear friends. They are honest, warm and fun loving people. We love them dearly and cherish their friendship and ministry. They have been a wealth of encouragement to us, more than they will ever know. Thank you Rudi and Sharon!!!

We highly recommend their ministry to all Pastors without reservation. They are pure gold. We stand behind them and their ministry 110 percent!
Pastor Andy Harris, Central Assembly, Haughton, LA
We were so blessed by the ministry of the Swanepoels! Their music is anointed and ushered us into God's glory, preparing us for the preaching of the Word confirmed with signs and wonders. We had many, many people saved, healed, and baptized in the Holy Spirit! Rudi and Sharon are uniquely gifted to reach this generation with a message of hope, healing, and the miraculous!
 
 
Pastor Stan Grant, Clover Hill Assembly, Midlothian, VA

We have had the privilege of having Rudy and Sharon Swanepoel with us on several occasions. Their heart for God, love for people, and desire to see the Holy Spirit move, will enhance your ministry and bless your church. They are humble servants who come along side the pastor and use their gifts to build up the body of Christ. You will be encouraged, refreshed, and challenged to move forward in the things of God.

I recommend and encourage you to have this anointed couple at your church. If you have any questions concerning them or their ministry, feel free to call me.
