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. 

John leads John & Perla Prophetic with Perla at his side. For more information on ministry activities, visit the prophetic ministries page and the mentoring men page.

Perla Sweeney was born in the beautiful country of Paraguay, in the heart of South America.    She started work at the age of eight while continuing her education.  Perla has extensive experience with children, working with them for more than 20 years in Paraguay and the United States.  Shortly after coming to the U.S., Perla came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and gave her heart fully to Him.  Perla is well known for her servant's heart, and you will always be able to find her working in some capacity alongside her husband in the various ministries of Worship Church.    She has headed up hospitality ministries, prayer ministries and leadership support teams as well as nurseries and various other children's ministries.    At John's side, she intercedes for the nations and operates in a strong prophetic anointing with insightful spiritual discernment.    She, like her husband, has preached in prisons and evangelized on city streets around the world.    Perla is a shining example of the Proverbs 31 woman as a loving wife, mother and successful entrepreneur many times over.    Perla is an anointed warrior in prayer, and she prays to get results.    Together, John & Perla are committed to spreading the Gospel of Peace, the Power of Pentecost and the Presence of God throughout the world, through their prophetic gifting, with signs and wonders following them that believe.
