Apostle Lionel and Pastor Margaret Etwaru

Passionate Leaders, Faithful Servants, Global Impact

For over 19 years, Apostle Lionel Etwaru and his wife, Pastor Margaret Etwaru, have faithfully led Global Christian Ministries, bringing hope, transformation, and the power of God’s Word to countless lives. Their journey is one of unwavering faith, deep passion for ministry, and a relentless commitment to raising up strong believers and leaders worldwide. 

A Life Transformed, A Calling Fulfilled

Once deeply rooted in Hinduism, Apostle Lionel encountered Christ in September 1963—a moment that forever changed his life. Just a year later, he stepped into ministry, answering God’s call with boldness and conviction.

In his homeland of Guyana, South America, he was a pioneering force in the Full Gospel Fellowship of Churches and Ministers, a movement that has since grown to over 170 churches. With an apostolic mandate, he has trained and equipped men and women for ministry, extending his impact to 26 nations.

Apostle Lionel has worn many hats—Bible School Teacher, Principal, Chairman of the Fellowship, and a member of the National Apostolic Team—before God led him to the United States in 1989 to continue his mission on a global scale. 

A Global Voice for the Kingdom

Renowned for his wisdom and powerful teaching, Apostle Lionel has traveled extensively, speaking at pastors' and leaders' conferences, conventions, crusades, and youth retreats across 30 nations and throughout the United States. His heart beats for seeing believers walk in their God-given potential, and his teachings continue to equip and inspire leaders worldwide.

Holding a Bachelor’s in Theology and a Master’s in the Psychology of Christian Counseling, he combines deep biblical knowledge with practical wisdom, helping individuals experience true spiritual growth.

Together, Apostle Lionel and Pastor Margaret remain passionate about seeing lives transformed, churches empowered, and the Gospel reach every corner of the world. Their journey is a testament to the limitless power of God’s grace and the impact of unwavering faith.

Their message is clear: God has a purpose for you, and the best is yet to come!
