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
the Lamb 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 loves Jesus more than life itself. This all consuming
passion drives him 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). With a special impartation to
catalyze revival fire all over the world, Surprise is often sent by the
Bakers to stir an unquenchable hunger for Him and the harvest. Surprise
is married to Trythina, and they have three sons. The Sithole's live in
Nelspruit, South Africa where they direct the work of IRIS-Africa and
Partners In Harvest.
