Coaching is nothing new, but an old tradition with a long, rich history. Most Jews understand the deep value and commitment of the relationship between a rabbi and their student. This tradition has yielded thousands of years of growth and new understanding of God's Word. Paul told Timothy to imitate him as he himself imitated Christ. This is the teaching we adopt here.
Prophetic Life recognises and endorses the following ministries and coaches. These are seasoned ministers, whose experience and faith are an asset to God’s Kingdom. They have that have walked this journey and are functioning in their gifts.
If you decide to start your journey with Prophets Academy there are a few things you must keep in mind. First, you must be teachable and open with your coach, keeping in mind that there will be growing pains. Secondly, no one has all the answers and as children of God we are all continually growing together in His Word. And finally, you must take ownership of your personal relationship with the Lord and know that the fruit you reap are determined by your choices.
At the heart of Prophets Academy is community. A place where you can build relationships with other prophets while learning and developing your prophetic gift. All for the purpose of advancing God’s Kingdom.

Rod Warembourg
Pastor/Prophet Rod Warembourg who I personally first met in Europe and then in Colorado, now resides in Arizona, pastoring his church in Fountain Hills. He is not only a tremendous pastor and a unique teacher of the word, but he has also followed the prophetic for so many years and has attended some of our Encounters. He has very strong mature leadership skills and has certainly a profound prophetic depth in evaluating and understanding people’s hearts and destinies. Pastor/Prophet Rod has always had great passion for the Lord and doing all he can to extend Gods kingdom since the first day I met him. He and his wife and children are all involved in the church that he pastors in Fountain Hill Arizona. Any prophetic person wanting to be coached would be very blessed and would become very fruitful in their prophetic ministry. He has strong integrity; he is straight forward and would point you into the right direction. Pastor/Prophet Rod has an acute ability to come up with good solutions and practical godly answers in so many areas. He is very loyal, faithful, and consistent in all that he says and does.
Marisha Apodaca
Marisha Apodaca and her husband Eric, along with their beautiful children, live in San Diego California. They pastor a church, have been seasoned in the prophetic and have attended many of our Encounters. Not only does Marisha have a seasoned ministry with a strong focus on coaching, helping and nurturing people, but she is also profoundly prophetic. In the years that I have known her I have watched her help, coach and walk people through life, their ministry and gifting. With her fresh and unique technique, I highly recommend Marisha as a coach.
Naomi Bell
Prophet Naomi Bell is best known for her skill to teach and lead. She has led a prophetic group for several years in Cape Town, South Africa under the leadership of Pastor Allan Bagg, who has a very large church. She is full time staff, serving in many different departments from administration, to leading a prophetic group, prayer, and intercession. Her years of experience are certainly very evident in her delivery and interaction with people. Naomi has a vibrant family, not only skilled in music and culture, but she is also a powerful book writer. Her knowledge and leadership skills will be especially helpful to anyone who wants to grow in the prophetic. She has been associated with Prophetic Life for many years and is highly recommended by Prophet Ed.
Nathaniel Russell
Doctor/Prophet Nathaniel (Nate) Russell, lives with his wife, Alicia in Columbus Ohio, and they lead a ministry called “Holy Spirit Support Group”. Their vision has always been to promote all that the Holy Spirit is and teach people clearly on how the Holy Ghost functions and how to work with the Holy Spirit. Dr. Nate’s vision is also to bring a unity amongst denominations that the body of Christ may become one (John 17). Dr. Nate is not only a medical doctor, and his wife a phycologist, they also have four amazing children. Prophet/Dr. Nate is a good speaker, prophesies well and has traveled with me to various countries and blessed many people while with me. He prophesies maturely, clearly and with great understanding. Doctor/Prophet Nate is mature and experienced and can provide guidance as you develop in the prophetic ministry.
Kalene Smalberger
Prophet Kalene Smalberger is one of the most liked and renowned teachers in South Africa. She specializes and has very deep insight into not only managing, but also generating finances on every level. Prophet Kalene has been associated with Christian Family Church in Johannesburg, South Africa since 2009 where she graduated Bible school. She has attended many of our Prophetic Encounters and ministered with me personally in Germany. She is married and has a tremendous discernment and understanding into people’s lives. She is a wonderful example and model Christian displaying very high standards of godliness in her life and representation in the business world. Kalene would be of great help and value for those who are in any kind of secular business and want to grow their prophetic gifting and their influence.
Paul Smalberger
Having grown up in a very Holy Ghost environment and a church that was given to prophecy, it is understandable that Paul Smalberger himself is not only gifted, knowledgeable and experienced in prophecy, but also has walked a long journey in his relationship with the Lord. Having been to Bible School - graduated and studied the Word of God intensely. To add to his skills, he is a qualified engineer and a very successful businessman. He, with his wife, teach and instruct on successful Christian business leadership.
All of these serve to enhance and bring Paul into a place of skilled coaching abilities. I highly recommend anyone that strives for success and the higher calling and perhaps even including business success and different areas as Paul is a life coach, not only as a Christian, but as a prophet and businessman.
David Hoeflein
David Hoeflein comes highly recommended by Prophetic Life as a coach, a prophetic leader, and a teacher of the Word. Not only is David highly educated with a master’s degree in divinity, but he is also well versed in the word of God and is a seasoned and experienced teacher. Qualified and recognized by four different sources as a coach, David will be an excellent choice for those who want to gain leadership training and learn how to be a coach. David with his wife and two children are not only a loving family, but a great example for anyone needing to be led, coached, trained, and directed in their prophetic journey.
Eric Traut
Prophet Eric Traut has been with Prophetic Life full time for many years and has traveled the world with me prophesying on many occasions. Prophet Eric is particularly gifted in patience and kindness to all people everywhere. Should he coach anyone it would be very gently, and his prophetic gift is very concise and to the point. He is renowned for when God does not speak to his heart, he says nothing rather than speaking. Eric’s heart for the Lord and motivation to serve Him is very clear and evident daily. Those that would follow or be coached by him would benefit greatly in the exhorting strengthening of the body of Christ as that would be something that would emit from him on a continual basis. He lives in San Antonio Texas and has been full time in Prophetic Life for many years now.
Elma Jacobs
Pastor/Prophet Elma Jacobs live in the northern part of South Africa. Pastor Elma pastors a church with her husband and has done so for some time. Elma is best known throughout the nation and nations for her very deep and enriched teachings. Not only is her content formidable, but her delivery is very easy to follow for anyone and everyone. Elma is also very gifted in the prophetic. She prophesies consistently and very lovingly. Her experience renders her very mature and insightful with counseling and guiding. She specially makes a tremendous coach for anybody that wants to grow in the prophetic and become very fruitful and effective in the Lord.
Paul DeFin
Paul DeFin comes from a long line of renown and world touching preachers, like Smith Wigglesworth, and he has been in a family of ministry all his life. Although he occupies a career, he has always been involved as a pastor in a very large church with his brother in Johannesburg, South Africa. His wife, Kim and four children, are all involved in the life of the church. Paul’s attribute of pastoring and caring for people are only trumped by his powerful and very accurate prophetic gifting. He is regarded by me, Ed Traut, as a true prophet of God and any one being coached by him will have a very balanced, loving, kind and Christlike development. I highly recommend him.
Lee van Staden
Lee has grown up in ministry and served in church since she can remember. She has always had a very strong sense of the call of God on her life for full time ministry from a very young age. God uses Lee to minister prophetically one on one especially with words of knowledge and she also has a God given ability to dream a future event as well as to decipher others dreams.
Lee is a fiery Preacher with a desire to awaken people's understanding of their God given purpose on the earth today through the power of The Holy Spirit. Lee has also been leading worship since she was 13 years old and every time she still leads worship it is always a wonder to watch as Jesus enters the room, as promised in Matthew 18 : ‘For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them’.
When Jesus enters the room, He never comes empty handed. Lee lives deeply convicted by a principle to JESUS: HIS name and renown is the desire of my soul!
Charmain Brackett
Charmain Brackett has walked a long journey with the Lord since she was a young teenager. Having always had a leaning towards the Prophetic, she grew not only in the gift but in the prophetic office having been part of a phenomenal and noteworthy spiritual church in Augusta, Georgia. It is here where she was assigned to lead a prophetic group for many years. Her experience in the prophetic and her tremendous skill as a communicator and writer give her great effectiveness when coaching and helping others.
Cherry Van Der Kraft-Bosman
Cherry Van Der Kraft-Bosman, born, raised, and residing in Holland, with her husband Michel and their children pastor and oversee a growing church. Though the prophetic is almost nonexistent at this time in Holland, her zeal and vision for the prophetic gives her great focus on imparting the knowledge of the prophetic and to see prophets raised up. Her own journey through life has developed a great dependency on the Lord and ability to help others.
