Our Oversight Team
John Shiver and Richard Shipp oversee Maranatha Fellowship.
John Shiver

Since 1994, John Shiver has ministered in over 3,000 services, spanning 44 denominations on five continents around the globe. Thousands have been saved, healed, delivered, and become faithful disciples.
John's mandate given to him by the Holy Spirit in January 1994 was to: "Go and help prepare my church for what I have prepared for my church. The coming of my glory."
"The passion of this ministry is to see God ignite the fires of revival in the Church and throughout the earth through the revelation of his manifested presence and power. Through a combination of preaching the Word of God and by allowing the Holy Spirit to have liberty to touch and transform people by His power, we have been blessed to see revival glory being revealed in our meetings in local churches, conferences, and crusades around the world."
Richard Shipp
Richard comes to us from Haddenham, England. He is a bold dispenser of God's finished work on Calvary through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The anointing on him has been so tremendous that the shekinah glory of the Lord actually shows on his face most of the time when he ministers. Most of the listed gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Cor. 12:8-10 are in operation in his ministry: words of knowledge and wisdom with discernment of spirits, prophecy, power (to do miracles), faith, (that moves mountains), and the gifts of healing.
He ministers in a prophetic role as he travels around the world enforcing the victory for which Christ died. By working in this way, he proclaims that Jesus is coming soon.
