MERARI RODRIGUEZ, Co-Leader

Merari spent the first part of her life running from God. Until her supernatural encounter at the age of 30; where she saw His hand reach down and pull her very soul out of the mouth of a beast. Merari is a radical worshiper, and intercessor with a prophetic anointing to see into the deep realms of the Spirit. Her desire is to know God more with each day and make Him known. She longs for all the church to hear and answer His call to intimacy.

Merari has ministered in Costa Rica, Honduras, Dominican Republic and Haiti.  She has 3 grown children, and she was recently ordained as a Minister at Light for the Nations in Boca Raton Florida. Radicals4Christ Ministry is being birthed from her to equip and activate the gifts in those with a passion for the mission field; that through prophetic evangelism souls can be radically saved and transformed for the kingdom of God.

Merari loves soaking & spontaneous worship music, long days at the beach and writing.
