Our priorities and commitments to you
We are committed to be relational, practically relevant, safe and supernatural in all that we do for the attendees of FSSL and in any of our Equip Classes.
Our priority is to facilitate an experience in our meetings that changes the way you approach life. It is our heartfelt desire for you to cultivate a lifestyle geared towards miracles, signs and wonders. We will provide plenty of freedom and space for testing your gifts, grow in them and develop them to the level that the supernatural becomes the new normal in your life.
We are committed to share and impart everything we have received and been blessed with and to release what we all can have access to in Heaven.
Each of our Equip Classes is designed to be a cornerstone in helping to equip the body of Christ for the harvest. They also contribute to the discipling or refreshing of born again believers.

Christian Kessel
Christian had a successful career in law and is now a coach. After helping to establish the Alpha courses in Germany and training and ministering in an international inner healing ministry, Christian has further grown and been transformed by a 6 month stay at Bethel Church in 2019 with his wife Gesa. Both are members of the Bethel Healing Rooms family since then and helped to co-lead a team of the Bethel Healing Rooms Online for a couple of years. They still serve in the Healing Rooms at Bethel in-person when in Redding. They are also part of a group of regional pastors and missionaries. In Germany Christian and Gesa worship at All Nations Church Frankfurt. Christian loves to share biblical truths clearly and systematically and to activate and serve the body of Christ. He is very apostolic at heart and carries great joy in all that he does.
“Christian and Gesa Kessel have set the gold standard in fullness of joy and an anointing without measure.”
Anne Kalvestrand, Executive Director, Art of Peace Institute, Redding, CA
Gesa Kessel
Gesa loves to serve others. She has an apostolic heart and the strong desire to release what she has been imparted from different leaders around the world. In 2019 Gesa received a prophetic word from Stacey Campbell that she would be a teacher and lead a prophetic school – this word now becomes reality. Gesa has learned and received revelation and insights in different places in God’s Kingdom, especially at Bethel Church, Redding, CA. Gesa and her husband Christian are members of the Bethel Healing Rooms family since January 2019. Both of them helped to co-lead an online team for a couple of years and they still serve in-person when in Redding. They are also part of a group of regional pastors and missionaries. In Germany Gesa and Christian worship at All Nations Church Frankfurt. Gesa loves to live, teach, activate and serve with tons of joy and childlikeness. And she enjoys leading people into encounters with God and bring them in touch with God’s love, joy and peace.
Annika Lindner
Coming from a traditional background, Annika didn’t know “contemporary worship” existed until the age of 14, but God put a desire in her heart to praise Him on the electric guitar with modern music. She spent countless hours in her room adoring God with new sounds. At the same time, she found a video of Hillsong and dreamed of forming a worship team that is taking worship seriously.
2 years later she found herself leading a worship ministry and has been ever since. When God told her to “TEACH WORHSHIP EVERY DAY” she started a music school that is still linked to the church. After studying music education, she attended Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry ( BSSM) where she had the opportunity to serve on keys under lots of different worship leaders.
Leading people into an encounter with God; seeing the gold in every team member and writing music for and with God are some of her strongest passions.
Naomi Groß
Naomi Gross is a passionate dreamer and intercessor. She has an exceptional gift in decoding enigmatic dream messages. Together with her husband and 3 kids they live in Redding, CA. Originally from Munich, Germany, God called them to attend the ‘Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry’ in 2017.
Naomi has been working for the prophetic department at Bethel since 2020. She is overseeing the world-wide dream interpretation sessions. Her heart’s desire is to help people understand the languages of God better, with dream interpretation leading the way. She is also keen to help people to encounter God, supernatural joy, the gifts of the Spirit and miracles on a daily basis.

Grant Shipley
Grant graduated from of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in 2020, with his heart set on seeing the Holy Spirit move in the South-West of the UK. He developed and pioneered the use of prophetic declarations to grow his faith to pray for, bless, heal, give words of knowledge and lead to salvation people he encountered in his everyday life. Since then, he has released healing, salvation, words of knowledge, and blessing to well over a hundred people he has encountered on trains, in shops, at recycling centres, call centres, tax helplines, railway stations, pubs, health spas and many other places. Through testimony and impartation, he encourages others to activate their faith to see power encounters with people they meet in their everyday lives.
