                                                                             Apostle and Overseer of Crusaders Ministries, located in Chicago, Illinois, with close to 4,000 in attendance weekly in several locations, John Eckhardt is gifted with a strong apostolic call and has ministered throughout the United States and overseas to more than 40 nations. John is an apostolic reformer called to perfect the saints by imparting biblical truths, including deliverance and spiritual warfare, and activating the gifts of the Spirit in order to raise up strong ministries in the body of Christ.

John founded the IMPACT Network (International Ministries of Prophetic and Apostolic Churches Together) in 1995. Since that time, it has grown to include over 400 churches and ministries in 25 nations. IMPACT Network is being raised up as a vehicle for global apostolic reformation. As part of his calling as an Apostle of Jesus Christ, John is activating and ordaining apostles and prophets around the world to facilitate this current reformation, along with conducting powerful apostolic breakthrough conferences in many nations.

Along with his apostolic responsibilities, John Eckhardt is a sought after international conference speaker, has authored more than 20 books, produces a daily radio broadcast, and his television program "Perfecting The Saints" is seen weekly throughout the United States on the WORD Network. He is also founder of the Apostolic Institute of Ministry (AIM), dedicated to teaching present truth, and training leaders in apostolic and prophetic ministry, currently through workshops and seminars, but with a future vision for full time facilities to be established in many nations.

Dr. C. Peter Wagner says, "my good friend John Eckhardt has both the gift of apostle and teacher. I shall make his book 'Moving In The Apostolic' required reading of my students so they might get to know him and say, John Eckhardt is my role model for ministry today." John is part of the faculty of the Wagner Leadership Institute. He also holds an Honorary Doctorate Degree.

John Eckhardt resides in the Chicago area with his lovely wife, Wanda, and their five beautiful children.
