Dr. Apostle Gunter Rappl, born 1969, is the founding Apostle of Ekklesia Consuming Fire & GFC in
Cologne, North Rhine Westfalia, Germany.
Gunters heart beats that every single disciple of Yeshua HaMashiach through intimacy with YHWH
Echad finds his God-given Identity and then makes his calling and election in the Edah Yeshua
HaMashiachs sure.
After giving his life a second time to Yeshua at the month of Cheshvan 2001, he joined 2003 as a
living stone an Apostolic-Prophetic Ekklesia in Cologne, followed by baptism in the spirit and in
water around Purim 2003. Afterwards Dr. Apostle Gunter Rappl attended, beginning 2004 until
2010, in Germany and in the USA different bible-based training seminaries at apostolic and
prophetic training centers with the focus on practical application of the studied material. He
graduated 2006 sucessfully from a School of the Prophets (Pastors Bruno and Claudia Zimmerli,
FCG Hanau, Hessen, Germany) and 2011 from a School of Apostolic Ministries (Apostle Randy
Clark, Apostolic Equipping Institute, Spirit of Life Ministries, FL, USA). At the fall feasts 2011,
Gunter was ordained and comissioned by Pastor Kay Tolman (Restoration Gateway Ministries, OR,
USA) and her apostolic team as Apostle. At the end of 2013 Gunter completed the leadership
training for Advanced Deliverance Training with the title Train the Trainers (Michael and
Madelene Eayrs, Just like Him Ministries, GA, USA).
At the autumn feasts of Adonai 2012 Ekklesia Consuming Fire, Cologne, Germany was born in the
spirit through the Ruach HaKodesh and founded by Gunter in the natural as an international
apostolic, prophetic and messianic training center (Edah) based on Acts 2 and 4. On the first
apostolic and prophetic conference around the spring feasts of Adonai Nissan 2013 in Cologne the
calling, vision, and mandate of the Ekklesia was judged and confirmed by the attending apostles and
prophets from all over the world with whom Gunter is aligned in friendship.
Since Gunter understands the safeguard of being under spiritual authority he aligned 2014 himself
and the Ekklesia Consuming Fire, Cologne, with Apostle Jeff Jansen (Global Fire Ministries, TN,
USA) and Ekklesia Consuming Fire became a part of the world-wide apostolic network Global
Connect (Apostle Jeff Jansen). Around Shavuot 2015 Gunter was ordained and comissioned as
Apostle in Global Connect by Apostle Peter Wagner, Apostle Dutch Sheets and last but not least
Apostle Jeff Jansen.
