Craig Marsh has been married for 32 years to Jenni and has 2 grown sons. As a family they live in Auckland City New Zealand. Craig met the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour whilst serving as an Instructor in the New Zealand Armed Forces.  In the late 1970’s he felt ‘called of God’ to leave the army and gained employment as a Senior Officer in the Prison Service at Paremoremo Maximum Security Prison, During this time he pioneered and established a nation-wide  outreach ministry to prisoners - later to become Prison Fellowship in New Zealand.

After many years in the Prison Service Craig left to work for the Bible Society In New Zealand as a regional director for Auckland for 5 years. This involved teaching and preaching across the whole denominational spectrum with the privilege of sharing God’s Word in over 1000 churches. On leaving the Bible Society and serving as an assistant Pastor and then as a senior Pastor in local churches Craig pioneered a request and dedication programme for prison inmates and their families on nation-wide radio with the Christian radio network Rhema Broadcasting Group (RBG) which is part of the UCB group. He was on the Board of Directors for this Christian Broadcasting Group for many years and until 2001 was employed as the Marketing Manager for their three networks in New Zealand. Craig left the employment of this Christian Radio Network to minister fulltime as an itinerant evangelist living by faith.

Craig has also served for many years as an advisor to the New Zealand Justice Department on Chaplaincy and as a member of the Chaplaincy Advisory Board.

In association with Joseph Steinberg, the Founder of the Y2000 evangelistic concept which is centred around using the Millennium to make Jesus known, Craig holds the license and rights to Y2000 for New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Philippines,  USA and Canada and launched the concept in several of those countries.

After undergoing surgery in 1989 and 1991 for a serious stomach complaint. Craig underwent major surgery yet again in 1994.  This resulted in radical changes to his stomach and digestive system, involving the total severing of all capacity to produce stomach acid and a ‘wrap’ being performed with the remains of his stomach.  Living in constant pain particularly when eating, Craig’s life expectancy was not long as he continued to suffer and slowly waste away.

On 3rd  May 1999, whilst attending a Methodist Ministers conference in Florida USA to launch Y2000, Craig was miraculously healed.  Since then he has been able to eat large quantities of all food, has no pain, has put weight on and no longer takes 39 pills a day as previously.  Doctors have been astounded that without a proper digestive system everything is functioning now as if there was. Subsequent Xrays show a normal stomach functioning normally!

At the time of his healing God spoke to Craig and said “freely you have received now freely you are to give – go and pray for others and I will confirm with signs, wonders and miracles”. Craig now travels widely ministering in healing, evangelism and encouragement and on many occassions has had a ministry team travel and minister with him. These team members all knew Craig prior to his healing and one of them was with him when he was healed.  Together they have witnessed many confirmed miracles and healings as they pray for the sick.

Craig has ministered through out his home country New Zealand and in the Cayman Islands, Australia, Singapore, Philippines, Canada, England, Belgium, Spain, South Africa, Hong Kong, China and the United States, including several U.S. television networks. He holds minister credentials with The Network of Christian Ministries NZ administered by Encounter Christian Centre Avondale Auckland. Craig also carries credentials with American Missions Teams Evangelistic Organization (AMT) based in Illinois USA and under their covering has 501(c)3 (charity) status with the IRS.
