Rachel Hickson

Rachel has been married to Gordon for over 40 years. They have two married children and six grandchildren. They are also proud owners of Bella, a black Labrador! They both worked alongside Reinhard Bonnke in Africa for 6 years from 1984. During this time, in Zimbabwe, Rachel almost lost her life in a horrific car accident but was miraculously healed by God. In 1990 Rachel and her husband, Gordon, led a group of four churches in Hertfordshire and Heartcry for Change was born. Rachel and Gordon moved to Oxford in May 2005 where they still live today. Rachel has a passion to see radical lovers of Jesus shift the atmospheres in our society today…and is crazy enough to believe that an army of ordinary people like us CAN DO IT!

Rachel is an internationally respected leader and Bible teacher with a recognised prophetic gift. She teaches all over the world and is in demand as a conference speaker. She serves several national church leadership networks where she is asked for her prophetic wisdom, insight and leadership strategy. Among other areas, Rachel is often asked to advise and support teams prophetically during times of leadership transition or major building projects and she has had the privilege of sharing in many adventures of faith in the Kingdom.

She is the author of 12 books, the most recent of which are Hope Filled and Spiritual Architects: the gift of prophets to the Church today.
