Surprise “Supressa” Sithole was called by the Lord Jesus Christ at a young age of 15 when the Lord told him to leave everything behind, follow Jesus and preach the gospel wherever he went. Leaving his family and all possession, he took up his cross to follow Jesus wherever He goes and has never looked back since. In 1997, God sovereignly connected Surprise with Heidi and Rolland Baker of IRIS Ministries. Surprise now serves as the International Director of Pastors for IRIS Ministries where he helps oversee the rapidly spreading revival in southern African which has witnesses close to 7,000 new churches being birthed since 2000. Surprise is married to Tryphina and they have four sons and foster another boy who was abandoned at a local hospital. Tryphina equally is ablaze with the fire of God and they both love Jesus more than life itself. This all consuming passion drives them to the darkest and most unreached areas of the world with one desire alone – to see the glory of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea (Hab 2:14).
