Prophet John Sweeney was raised in a believing household, but had suffered significant childhood trauma and by his teen years he had chosen a rebellious lifestyle along with drug and alcohol abuse that continued well into his twenties. While putting on a show of serving God for those in the church, secretly he was really cursing God in word and deed.
After the death of his father in 1992, God gave John a second chance. He took that opportunity to dedicate his life to God, but still sat on the fence about living holy for God for several years. In 1995 John realized the call that God had on his life, and decided that there was no more turning back. He entered the prophetic ministry and has never looked back. John has served as an evangelist, lay pastor, worship leader, missionary, choir director, teacher, elder and prophet. He has preached and witnessed on the streets in various U.S. cities, including New York City, preached in prisons, and taught evangelism, prophetic and discipleship courses.
John is fluent in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole. He is known as an anointed prophet and teacher and has shared the Word internationally, having ministered in the United States, Mexico, Paraguay, Jamaica, Honduras, Zambia and Haiti.
Called as a prophet, and trained through the Global Prophetic Alliance, he directs his local church's prophetic ministry.

Lina Jimenez is a prophet, passionate for the Lord since a very young age. She was born and raised in Colombia but immigrated to the United States almost 14 years ago. The Lord has used her in the prophetic and intercessory ministry since the beginning of her walk with God. She graduated from the Christian school of leadership at Misión Carismática Internacional in Bogota, Colombia. There she served in the youth ministry during her high school and college years. In 2004 Lina graduated from the school of Medicine and Nursing sciences at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. During her first years of practice in healthcare, Lina was able to serve vulnerable communities in Colombia, victims of the national violence that her country has been suffering under for the last 50 years. Her contact with these populations developed in her a great compassion and desire to serve people beyond medical needs. Lina was able to evangelize so many, witnessing the power of God freeing and healing people.
After getting married, Lina moved to the United States and started a new journey alongside her family. In the states, Lina has had the opportunity to work and lead groups of children, youth, and women in various congregations. A lot of her experience has been serving the Latin American community that has emigrated to the United States. As she has witnessed the struggle of these families, Lina has found a profound calling to serve and cultivate in this community.
The Lord has used Lina to reveal his message and plans to people and ministries. She moves strongly in prophetic intercession, releasing God’s strategies to conquer and establish His Kingdom on earth.
Her desire is to see people develop an intimate relationship with the Lord, living by His Spirit and exercising God’s calling in them.
Currently Lina is attending the Raising Prophets program at the Global Prophetic Alliance. She is the house prophet at her local church and leads the women’s ministry.
