Who we are
Ralph and Cathy are passionate leaders who desire to see revival that starts in the hearts of individuals. Their journey to know the heart of Jesus started over 30 years ago when God invited them in and all they could say is that they would follow him where ever he leads. That path took them places all around the world starting in Los Angeles, California, Venezuela, Miami, and now back to where it all began. They've ministered in places around the world in pursuit of bringing the revelation of Jesus.
​
Ralph has a passion for the word of God, being an ordained pastor for over 20 years and is now living his dream of studying at Fuller for a masters in global leadership. Not only does he deliver the word through the bible but prophetically and seeks to cultivate that in believers today.
​
Cathy is gifted in worship and desires for God's word to be revealed in prophetic song. Leading worship for over 20 years, she is also ordained and has written worship songs and recorded CDs with more projects to come.
What we are
Revelation 4 Ministries is founded on the idea that Jesus' kingdom is revealed in our hearts. Through prophetic training that deepens our relationship with our Savior and the living word that activates our spirit we will see heaven come to earth. Additionally, R4 wants to come alongside congregations and leaders to support and help them carry out their visions while pressing in for revival. Ralph & Cathy also carry a message of restoration with an incredible journey of victory in Jesus.
What we are doing today
When we first moved here, we got involved in serving the students of Intervarsity Fellowship, some of which attend the same church we do. Recently I (Cathy) was asked to lead an hour of worship weekly on the campus of PCC (Pasadena City College). This sounded exciting to me! We met with the leaders by inviting them over to our house and we worshipped together. The presence of the Lord confirmed that we were to move forward with this.
After meeting with the overseer, Lisa, a wide door was opened to us to participate in their Bible Studies, mentor, lead worship etc. We felt peace about walking through this open door. The students have embraced us whole-heartedly. We have a great love for them and are witnessing how the Lord is raising them up. We are presently involved by participating in several weekly bible studies, worship/intercession, outreaches, and leadership meetings praying regularly for students and having them over for meals at our home. Opportunities for even more in-depth mentoring are opening now.
Recently, a friend sent me a video of Dutch Sheets (Dutch is a highly regarded international leader in the Prayer/Revival movement) prophesying about a coming revival on college campuses in the United States…
After 9/11, Dutch Sheets had an open-eyed vision which lasted 30 minutes. The entire vision was about the revival coming to college campuses. He saw the fire of God coming, completely out of control, nobody could stop it – no university leaders, administrators, no demons, nothing could stop it. This revival would be Holy Spirit led. It would be a wildfire. The Holy Spirit doing miracles, leading people to Jesus, mass deliverances taking place on campuses, many signs. There will be professors that will get in on it, atheists one day and lovers of Jesus the next. It is going to be so intense, so raw, out of every religious box. The campuses will be suddenly visited by God.
We feel that we have been strategically sent by God here for such a time as this!
So, we feel the release to ask that some of our friends partner with us for this work at this time. Pray for us! Ask the Holy Spirit to bring that fire to Pasadena City College and Caltech and every college. Pray about whether God has you financially sowing into this ministry now. Any monthly amount is appreciated. Giving can be made through our PayPal account through our email: gomezrafa@gmail.com or by check to the address printed below. The Lord has told us that this season of our lives would be more fruitful than all the previous years.
This is truly an exciting time to serve the Lord! God bless you!
