Len and Linda were born in East London, South Africa and in June 1997 migrated to New Zealand with his wife Linda and their two daughters, after receiving a prophetic call from the Lord. Len had been a Senior Director of a Textile Company, where he worked for 20 years. In South Africa Len served as an elder with a large New Testament Church called East London Christian Centre.
Since arriving in NZ Len and Linda have been a part of Elim Christian Centre, Auckland. Len was an ordained minister with Elim for about 8 years. In March 2005 Len, and Linda, stepped out in faith and Len resigned from full-time employment as Managing Director of a textile Company in Auckland to pursue their Calling in God.
In January 2007 Len and Linda felt there was a new season in their ministry and founded Eagle Ascend Ministries, an itinerant prophetic ministry with a mandate to equip, empower and encourage the church to fulfill their God-given destiny through their gifts and callings. By word of mouth and the favour of God this ministry ministers throughout New Zealand as well as Australia, Malaysia, UK, Africa and South Africa as and when the Spirit directs.
