Darrel is co-founder of Shekinah Today Ministries and leads with Cindy under the direction of the Holy Spirit. Darrel and Cindy work closely together in prayer and in all areas of ministry. They have been blessed with over 24 years of marriage and have witnessed God’s handiwork in their relationship, mirroring a picture of Christ and the Church (Eph. 5:21-33). They flow together in ministry with a great reverence for God and a deep love and honor for each other and for God’s people.

Darrel had the privilege of being raised in a Christian home where he was introduced to the things of God at a very early age. He was born in Alaska but spent most of His childhood years in Australia and New Zealand where he witnessed first hand the pure presence and power of God. From a young age Darrel had a deep love and longing for God which he began to express through his artwork and through worship on his favorite instrument – the drums.

At a young age Darrel was drawn to visual communications, media, and music, with a heart to glorify God and creatively communicate Christ. Through the years and as President of a Multi-media company he has worked with many Ad Agencies and numerous Ministries, with background ranging from print to multimedia animation. Through the years Darrel and Cindy have been honored to work and serve in many capacities within well known ministries. God used these important years to help prepare them for Shekinah Today Ministries.

Although Darrel and Cindy believe that creative media, technology, and marketing can be great tools in God’s hands. They have also learned there is a great danger when churches start making these tools the main thing. God’s house is to be a house built by prayer, His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. These natural tools can only be eternally affective when used under the direction of the Holy Spirit and covered with the power of prayer.

Darrel has a passion to make disciples who "Know what they believe and why they believe it." For the Church to come to a fuller “knowledge of the Holy One” so they can stand up, be "salt and light" to engage and influence the culture by communicating God's fullness and truth in love, boldly without compromise or apology.

He desires people to really come to know God in His fullness, for who He really is as revealed in God's holy Word, from Genesis to Revelation.

Darrel is working with Cindy, to fulfill the call God has been preparing them for over 25 years, on what has seemed like the back end of the desert and wilderness. Their call is to cleanse purify and make ready the bride for His return.

Darrel and Cindy also have three amazing children, Lindsey, Joshua and Destiny Joy.

Cindy has always had a great love for God’s church and has always sensed a strong call of God on her life. She is co-founder of Shekinah Today Ministries, along with her husband Darrel. Together, they recently launched the Pray, America! Pray! Campaign, a National call to prayer and repentance for America.

Cindy is also a prophetic speaker, teacher, intercessor and writer, mostly known for her prophetic perspectives and challenging, passionate messages which call the Church to a higher place, to purity and to Be Glorious in the earth according Ephesians 5:26. Through the years Cindy has also ministered at women’s events and currently has an online weekly devotional just for women called “Be Glorious Moments”

Cindy has always had a great love and compassion for all people and understands what it’s like to be abused and broken, almost beyond repair. But, greater than this, she understands the power of God’s love and His life changing word to bring restoration and healing to any life, no matter how great the brokenness or despair.

Through the years Cindy has also worked with her husband in both the ministry and business world. As Vice President of a multimedia company she worked closely with many ministries, churches and pastors to help communicate Christ. God used these valuable years to teach both Cindy and her husband how media can be a powerful tool when used under the direction of the Holy Spirit, and also how it can be dangerous if allowed to take the place of the pure presence and power of God and His Word in the Church.

Cindy attended Christ For the Nations Bible Institute and has spent over 25 years in the study of God’s word. She is passionate for God, for His Glory, to see souls saved, and to see the Church rise up and BE GLORIOUS in the earth!

Cindy is a devoted wife of 25 years and a mother of three beautiful Children with one grandchild on the way. She prays and works side by side with her husband, Darrel in ministry.
