Johan vd Westhuysen

Johan van der Westhuysen (1971–) is a South African preacher and evangelist within the Assemblies of God, known for his passionate preaching on spiritual transformation and the power of Christ’s presence, with a ministry that has reached audiences globally. Born in South Africa, he grew up in a context that led him from a successful career as a businessman—owning a small mining-supply company—to a radical faith shift after accepting Christ through the sinner’s prayer. This turning point, which saved his 17-year marriage from near collapse, prompted him to abandon his business, attend Bible school, and dedicate his life to ministry alongside his wife. His early life details remain sparse, but his conversion story, often shared in sermons, underscores a dramatic shift from worldly pursuits to a calling rooted in revival and outreach. Van der Westhuysen’s ministry gained prominence through his international travels, preaching in countries like Malaysia, where he spoke at churches such as Oasis Church in Ara Damansara (2014) and Faith Oasis Fellowship (2014), emphasizing foundational faith and the Holy Spirit’s fire. His messages—drawing from passages like John 9 and Matthew 24—focus on Christ as the light exposing sin, the necessity of personal transformation, and perseverance amid end-times challenges. A father who endured the loss of his 23-year-old son in an accident, he weaves personal testimony into his teaching, reinforcing hope in eternal glory. As of 2025, he continues to minister worldwide, leaving a legacy as a fervent evangelist whose life reflects the redemptive power he proclaims.
