Apostle & Mrs. Eckhardt

Apostle John Eckhardt is overseer of Crusaders Ministries, located in Chicago, Illinois. He is gifted with a strong apostolic call and has ministered throughout the United States and abroad in more than 70 nations. He is an apostolic reformer called to perfect the saints by imparting biblical truths, including liberation and spiritual warfare, and activating the gifts of the Spirit to raise up strong ministries in the body of Christ. Apostle Eckhardt founded the IMPACT Network (International Ministries of Prophetic and Apostolic Joint Churches) in 1995. Since then, hundreds of churches, ministries and leaders in more than 40 countries have joined this network that God is raising as a vehicle for apostolic world reform. His television program, Perfecting the Saints, is seen weekly throughout the United States on The Word Network. Eckhardt resides in the Chicago area with his wife, Wanda, and their five children.

Since starting a small storefront church in inner-city Chicago, John Eckhardt has guided hundreds of churches around the world, launched dozens of ministry schools and sold more than half a million books. Yet none of that has changed how he prays.

He oversees his home church and two others in the Chicago area. There’s also Crusaders Church Ethiopia, Crusaders Church Curacao and Eckhardt’s own apostolic missions network that brings thousands of apostles together to confer and strategize about winning more souls for the kingdom. He and others like him believe the latter-day church needs a radical makeover and must be intentionally fervent about outreach and ministry that extends beyond cushy pews and cushier sermons.

This is a man who grew up Roman Catholic in south Chicago and had never heard of the Pentecostal experience until he got saved during a street meeting as a student at Northwestern University. The church hosting the meeting was Crusaders Church of God in Christ, the church he would eventually join, become a minister with and, after the death of its former pastor, lead.

Apostle Eckhardt helped to establish churches and ministries in more than 80 nations as head of the International Ministries of Prophetic and Apostolic Churches Together (IMPACT), which he founded in 1995. The main purpose of this group is training in intercessory prayer and spiritual warfare, deliverance and healing, prophecy, and church planting here and in other nations. He helped to establish more than 300 churches in Ethiopia alone.
