About Randolph Barnwell

Our Story

Randolph is happily married to Rene since September 1990. He has three sons [Matthew, Liam & Luke] and one daughter [Rae]. Matthew is married to Lauren and they both two children, Levi and Caleb. Liam is married to Cindy-Leigh. Randolph has been serving the Lord since 1982, and has been engaged in active ministry since 1990. He has served in various leadership capacities within the context of local church and the community in which he grew up.

He is a qualified teacher/educator and taught at high school level for seventeen years, before entering full-time ministry as the senior elder of a local church, Eternal Sound Ministries, which he planted in Durban in September 2005. The church was renamed ‘Gate Ministries – Durban Central’ in September 2013. The church is apostolic-prophetic in emphasis and functions with the following mandate, viz. to mature all people into the fullness of Christ, to facilitate the accomplishment of the eternal purposes of God, to accurately reflect God’s image and glory, and to reconcile all things in Christ, both visible earthly and invisible heavenly realms.

Randolph fulfills a spiritual fathering function to his own household of faith, as well as providing spiritual oversight to a few churches internationally.

Randolph’s primary grace is that of teaching with an apostolic-prophetic emphasis. He is focused on the development of various resources which capture and document eternal, un-altering principles for effective functioning in life to swiftly accomplish personal and corporate divine destiny. To this end he writes study manuals, books, records audio teachings in series format, and produces musical products.

He is also passionate about capturing principles of God’s Word musically.
