The Call:

Father’s Land Ministries exists to challenge and equip the German Church to embrace their God-ordained identity and become a transformative force in their homes & communities.

Eight years ago, while still living in England, I was invited to minister for a week in a church in northern Germany. I knew that God had called me to this nation – the land of my parents – and so I eagerly accepted. I was not disappointed. People were hungry and responded overwhelmingly to the
Word preached. As I sat in the plane to return to England, my heart ached with a longing to BE in this nation at long last. And then, as we taxied down the runway, I clearly heard the voice of God in my spirit, asking: “Did you know that Germany is the only nation in the world referred to as ‘the Fatherland’?” I immediately said “Yes, Lord. Papa told me that.” And then He replied, “No longer will it be known as ‘the Fatherland’ but as ‘the Father’s Land’, for I am going to turn the hearts of my children back to me, their Father.”

While I received my ministry mandate that day, as God spoke it to me, it was a fulfilment of 50 years of longing for my homeland. My apostolic calling is to the German Church – to teach and preach to a Bride who has been asleep for too long. God has called us to be the voice of righteousness and Truth in the midst of a lost and fallen world…and I am anointed to be a spark that kindles that fire again in my brothers & sisters in Christ!

The Church:

Growing up in Canada means that, for me at least, Germany is not a large country! I am used to driving for two days just to visit my parents…and so it is a familiar adventure for me to drive throughout this beautiful nation to serve wherever I am invited.

An even greater adventure for me has been the privilege of teaching/ preaching across denominations. From Pentecostal to Brüdergemeinde – and everything in between – my ministry is to equip the Body of Christ – to remind them of who, and whose, they are and awaken for such a time as this!
