Kosie and Dorinda vd Merwe are passionate revivalists and soul-winners, boldly carrying the fire of God across cities and nations. In 2017, they founded Rivers of Revival Ministries with a burning mandate: to see the harvest of souls brought into the Kingdom, to ignite the flames of revival, and to equip, empower, and mobilize believers for end-time evangelism.
Licensed under Revival Ministries International Ministerial Association (RMIMA) with Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard-Browne in Tampa, Florida, Kosie and Dorinda serve under a global covering of revival fire and soul-winning DNA.
Based in the beautiful Garden Route of South Africa, they minister with boldness and compassion, traveling to cities and nations to host revival meetings, evangelism crusades, and equipping events that stir hunger for God’s presence and awaken the Body of Christ.
Through Rivers of Revival Ministries, they are committed to seeing every believer set ablaze with the power of the Holy Spirit, trained to share the Gospel with boldness, and released into their God-given assignment. Their hearts burn for revival, reformation, and global harvest, and they are seeing multitudes touched, healed, saved, and transformed by the tangible presence of God.
Kosie vd Merwe
Kosie vd Merwe is a bold and passionate revivalist and evangelist with a powerful testimony of transformation. After battling drug addiction from the age of 12, he encountered Jesus radically at 17—and everything changed. That same year, he received a divine call to preach the Gospel to the nations with a demonstration of the Spirit and power.
Since then, Kosie has dedicated his life to seeing souls saved, lives transformed, and believers set ablaze with the fire of God. His ministry is marked by an evident anointing, bold preaching, and a tangible presence of God that brings healing, deliverance, and breakthrough.
With a deep love for people and an unwavering passion for revival, Kosie has ministered across five nations, carrying a message of hope, restoration, and the supernatural power of the Gospel. He is the founder of Rivers of Revival Ministries, through which he travels to cities and nations to spark revival, mobilize believers for evangelism, and usher in the end-time harvest.
Kosie lives on the Garden Route of South Africa with his wife Dorinda, where they are based when not on the road fulfilling the Great Commission.
