Who we are
Overview
A vision to awaken and equip the Bride of Christ
Bridal Love Ministries was founded in Cape Town, South Africa, by Deon and Poppie Hauptfleisch in 2004. Dr Poppie is an ordained pastor with more than thirty years’ experience in teaching. Deon and Poppie have been involved in various ministries (including children’s ministry, healing and deliverance) since 1984 and live out their vision to help awaken and equip the Bride of Christ with an understanding of intimacy, the apostolic foundations of the faith, the power of the Holy Spirit and a practical approach to living out God’s plans and purposes.
Dr Poppie is an international speaker on Song of Songs, Revelation, the End Times, Israel and more. Her books and DVDs have spread all over the world and been facilitated as far away as China, Nigeria, Namibia, Mozambique, Israel, England, USA, Mauritius and many other places. Deon and Poppie have been happily married for more than 40 years and they are blessed with three wonderful children and eight grandchildren.
Core Values
Our core values are the foundation for how we do what we do and set safe boundaries within which we all can learn and grow in the experience of listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and acting on the desires of His heart.
Freedom
- Responsive, controlled and guided by the Holy Spirit. We are facilitators of His presence, co-workers with Him ineverything.
- Freedom from a programme, head knowledge and religion. Simplicity in practical intimacy with Jesus.
- Free of self-consciousness and self-importance. Humility enables us to serve both in front and in the hidden places.
- Freedom to enter the Holy of Holies with boldness and help others to enter in as well.
Radical Obedience
- Humble and total dependence on God. Willingness to look foolish.
- Letting go of our own plans and pursuing God’s plan with commitment.
- Not relying on our own knowledge and understanding but seeking His voice first.
- Moving with the seasons of the Holy Spirit as they change.
Grace
- Acknowledgement of everyone’s journey without judgement.
- Unconditional grace and forgiveness, truth in love, maturing in the spirit together.
- Knowing everything we are able to do is thanks to God alone.
- We rely on God’s favour wherever we go.
- We do not take the credit or the glory – it belongs to the Lord alone.
Relationships
- Work out our unity with Christ and with each other in the Body.
- Relationship before function – who you are and getting to know you is more important than what you do.
- Connection to equip and empower, not control.
- Authority and responsibility go together. One without the other makes it impossible to be effective.
- Relationships built on truth can last, grow and endure.
- Giving, serving, helping and mentoring wherever God calls.
