The Ministry of Pieter and Linda Swart
". . . speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done . . . " (Acts 14:3 NKJV)

Pieter was born and raised in South Africa where he came to know the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 23. Several months after his born again experience, Pieter had a visitation from the Lord and was caught up in the Glory of God. Called to the ministry through this visitation, he went to Bible School at the age of 26

In 1986 Pieter married Linda Maritz and they have two daughters Maryke and Salome.

In 1987 they planted their first church in South Africa. From 1988 to 2001 they were involved in church planting and pastored several churches in South Africa. In 2002 the Lord called Pieter to station himself in Canada from where he is called to reach out to the nations with the good news of the Kingdom. Today they are living in Gander, in the heart of Newfoundland and Labrador. Newfoundland and Labrador is the most easterly Province of Canada, and for that matter, the most easterly point in North America. The "Newfoundland" portion of the Province is an Island, while the "Labroador" portion is separted from the island by approximately 10 kilometers of water, and is a part of mainland Canada.

As Pastor of Gander Victory Church, Pieter has the freedom to travel and minister the Word with signs and wonders following. His wife Linda has a wonderful teaching ability and assists Pieter in ministry in their local church.

Over the past 12 years, Pieter has traveled frequently to Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique and Portugal to minister the Word of God. During these overseas visits, there have been many healings, miracles and deliverances take place in the lives of people.

Pieter believes that signs, wonders and miracles happen in an atmosphere of Grace. It cannot happen in an atmosphere of performance: trying to get God to do a miracle. You have to fully rely on the grace of Jesus Christ by faith.

Paul says: "For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient— in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ" (Rom 15: 18 – 19)

If the Gospel (Good News) is not confirmed with signs and wonders, the the Good News is not fully preached. Through the teaching ministry of Pieter and Linda, people come to the understanding of how to receive from God.

Pieter also has a heart for Pastors. It is his desire to see them have a breakthorugh in their communities, towns and cities. This breakthrough will only be accomplished when the full Gospel is preached with God confirming His Word with signs, wonders and miracles!
