Let's Introduce The Team to You

 

Claude Widmer

Claude Widmer has been in full time ministry for almost two decades now. After having a dramatic experience with the Holy Spirit in a revival in South Africa, he started meaning business with God and the door for full time ministry opened soon after.

He started out as an assistant to the director of Campus Crusade for Christ Switzerland and had the chance to go to Missions in many different countries all around the globe. There Claude was part of reaching out and fulfilling the great commission and bringing the gospel to people who had never heard about the Lord Jesus Christ. Not only that, but his own preaching ministry started during those years and the Lord started opening the doors to the nations.

Having a revival ministry to the church on one side, preaching about the power of the Holy Spirit, he also reached out to the lost and preached the gospel with signs following! Many people experienced a fresh touch from the Lord and received healing and deliverance.

In those early years of ministry, Claude was majorly involved in organizing big EXPLO conferences in Switzerland, reaching into many different nations through satellite. He was also responsible for the some of those conferences in the Middle East, seeing many people getting saved! Another involvement was in church planting and working with different denominations.

In the last years, the Lord has brought him through the prophetic and apostolic ministry and he has been a conference speaker, church planter and ministered in different capacities. Claude has a vision to see the church victorious and becoming this city on a hill, a bright shining light for the Nations!

In order to accomplish this, he is involved in church planting, starting new businesses to generate resources for the body of Christ and equipping the saints through discipleship schools to be able to send them out and reach the Nations with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ!
