About God's Word Ministries
God's Word Ministries is headquartered in Pretoria, South Africa, and is led by Deon and Averille Gerber.
Their journey is rooted in a rich heritage of generations dedicated to the Kingdom of God. Averille's grandfather, Pastor CJ Prinsloo, founded Members in Christ Assemblies in both South Africa and Canada. Her parents, Pastors Erenst and Irah van Rooyen, have been committed to full-time ministry since 1955.
Deon and Averille embarked on a full-time ministry path in 1980, pastoring several assemblies of the Pentecostal Protestant Church in South Africa. In 1999, guided by the Holy Spirit, they initiated a prophetic teaching ministry for the global body of Christ. From that pivotal moment, transformative change ensued. The Holy Spirit dismantled old patterns of thought, illuminating their understanding of God's current ways and movements.
Deon, apart from theological training and experience, holds a BA degree in Psychology from the University of South Africa. The couple, highly skilled prophetic counsellors, have facilitated healing and restoration through their ministry.
Their scope of ministry is broad and diverse, guided by a mission to foster connections with traditional churches, groups, and businesses.
Their service encompasses:
- Empowering businesses to fulfil their role in the Body of Christ.
- Providing churches with prophetic insights and teachings centred around the fullness of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
- Offering prophetic counselling to groups and individuals.
God's Word Ministries utilizes a variety of mediums to share their message:
- Extensive global travel ministry, with significant focus on South Africa, Europe, and the US.
- This website as a central hub of information and interaction.
- Active presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

Deon and Averille's vision is grounded in Colossians 1:28:
"Him (Jesus Christ, our Lord) we preach and proclaim, warning and exhorting everyone and teaching (instructing and training) everyone in all wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One)."
Colossians 1:28
