Our story
Reviving Nations Ministries was birthed when the Lord clearly spoke to Marcel, to host soul saving campaigns throughout South Africa and in all nations of the world.
Under the tent, mid-appeal
Our calling
Going after the lost is the heartbeat of our ministry, and by doing so, making the Name of Jesus Christ great throughout all the nations.
Since 2016 we have moved from town to town, bringing hope and good news to the poor and the broken in spirit. We have fed thousands of people and watched them set free from bondage. Not in a conference centre, and not for the people who already know how to find one. In their own streets, on their own fields, on a stage we carry in and build.
These events are absolutely free for the people of the community, who freely come and receive food for their souls and for their bodies as we connect them to other believers. There is no entry fee, no collection at the door, and no catch waiting at the end of the night.
The leaders
Evangelists, husband and wife, co-founders. Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ together since 2009.
Evangelist · Co-founder
Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ since 2009. Marcel has carried it to Russia, Malawi, Kenya, Madagascar, Pakistan, the United States, and extensively throughout South Africa, preaching to the lost and making disciples for Jesus. In 2016 the Lord spoke to him clearly about soul saving campaigns, and Reviving Nations was born out of that word.
Evangelist · Co-founder
Marcelle has been actively involved in ministry and preaching the gospel alongside Marcel since 2009. She carries the ministry with him from town to town, and the two of them have built Reviving Nations into a work that reaches whole communities rather than only filling a room.
Where we have preached
What we believe about giving
If He did not even spare His only Son for our sake, there is nothing He will withhold from us. That belief is the reason nobody is ever charged to attend, and the reason we give food and gifts away rather than sell them.
We received freely. So we give freely. It is that simple, and we have built the whole ministry on it.
Freely you have received, freely give.
How we work
A festival that leaves nothing behind is just a good night out. So before we arrive in a town, we partner with the churches already there, the ones who will still be there long after our stage is packed away.
When someone gives their life to Christ at a Wildfire, we connect them to a church home in their own community where they can grow and mature in Christ. The new believer belongs to the local church, not to us.
Our primary scriptures
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.
Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me.
