ABOUT US
We love to see the church awakened, individuals empowered, and the body of Christ come to health and strength. We believe in spirit-led discipleship and healthy prophetic communities in every church. Our heart is for pastors and leaders to build the kingdom and stay the course. We are passionate about raising the next generation to live and lead strong and free, to inspire big faith and renewed kingdom thinking, to see potential unlocked and gifts activated and to see individuals, cities and nations access God’s promises over their lives by seeing what God is doing and who they are in Christ, and view their lives from heaven’s perspective.

History.
Bernhard and Colleen were born and raised in sunny South Africa, where they received their earliest discipleship and both served God in various capacities. They met as teenagers while studying to become teachers, with Colleen leading the Christian ministry on campus. During this season, Bernhard recommitted his life to Christ, and together they chose to fully follow God’s call.
In the early years of their marriage, they continued to serve in leadership, worship, missions, and more, while also working and pursuing further qualifications in education and business. Their wide-ranging experiences—including theology and counselling—have shaped them with deep wisdom and insight.
In 1999, in response to a vision of God’s fire spreading from Cape Town to the nations. Sent out from the Every Nation / His People Cape Town pastoral team, they planted a church in Christchurch, New Zealand. It has been their joy to build a thriving local church and later hand it over to a local leader, freeing them to minister apostolically both locally and internationally.
Family brings them the greatest joy. Both come from God-fearing families, where parents and grandparents modelled lives devoted to Christ. This legacy deeply influences how they live today, passing down a hunger for God’s presence, a love for worship, and a passion for the gospel. Their greatest delight is seeing their married children, spouses, and 10 grandchildren serving God and continuing this generational mission.
Over nearly 50 years of ministry, they have travelled to many nations, passionate about discovering God’s heart for different cultures and embracing the many God-led adventures along the way. They thrive in God’s presence, love the atmosphere of worship, and enjoy sharing life with fun-filled friends.
Bernhard and Colleen consider it the highest honour to invest in people and build the Kingdom of God. They are dedicated to encouraging and strengthening leaders to stay the course and fulfil their callings. They look ahead with hope and expectation for the mighty things God will continue to do.
