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. He 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. He met his wife, Sharon, by Divine appointment early in his ministry.
Sharon Swanepoel is also 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 grew quickly. They prayed every week and went out into the streets often to share the Gospel to everyone they could find. She received schooling at a Theological College for one year. She is an anointed musician/composer and ministers prophetically through her music. She is also an accomplished trumpeter. Through an extensive ministry of intercession she has seen many miracles that changed the lives of many people throughout the world.
Together they 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 Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa, the largest Pentecostal denomination in Africa. Rudi is an ordained minister of the Apostolic Faith Mission of South 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 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. |
