Rudi & Carmen Louw together oversee: Living Word International. They also travel and minister both locally and internationally. Rudi was born and raised in the country of South Africa while Carmen grew up in Cortland, New York. They function in the ministry of reconciliation (2Corinthians 5:18-21) and flow strongly with the Holy Spirit and His anointing to teach, preach, prophecy, heal and whatever is needed to touch peoples lives with the reality of God's love and power. God has given them keen insight into what He has to say to mankind in the incarnation and the work of redemption, concerning the revelation of, and restoration of, humanity's true identity, and, therefore, they emphasize THE GOSPEL; IN CHRIST REALITIES; the GRACE of God; the WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and all such eternal truths essential to salvation and living of the CHRIST-LIFE. They have been granted this wisdom and revelation into the knowledge of God by the resurrected Spirit of Jesus Christ, to establish and strengthen believers in the faith of God, and to activate them in ministering to others. Not only are people set free from the poison and bondage of sin, condemnation and all kinds of intimidation, (upheld, strengthened and reinforced by age old religious ideas born out of ignorance, ) but many are brought into a closer more intimate relationship with Father God, as Daddy, through accurate teaching, and unveiling of the gospel message, prophetic words, healings and miracles. Rudi & Carmen are closely knitted together with several other effective Christians, church fellowships, and groups of believers who share the same revelation and passion to impart the truth of the gospel to others, and so to impact and transform the world we live in with the LOVE and POWER of God.
