Dr. Bob Sawvelle and his wife Carolyn founded Passion Church in Tucson,
Arizona, where he serves as Senior and primary Teaching Pastor. He manages
curriculum development, leadership training, and church operations. Bob
earned a M Th. from Jacksonville Theological Seminary in 1999 and a D Min.
from United Theological Seminary in 2013, with his doctoral research
focused on Christian healing ministry's role in evangelism and church
growth. He is ordained with Global Awakening Ministries, led by Dr. Randy
Clark.
At the start of their ministry, Bob and Carolyn served as missionaries in
Haiti and also as youth and missions pastors in Florida. In 1994, during a
trip back to the US from Haiti, they experienced a powerful move of the
Holy Spirit at revival meetings at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship
(now Catch the Fire Ministries). The next year, they connected with Dr.
Randy Clark at revival and healing meetings in Melbourne, Florida.
Since their encounter with God in Toronto, Bob and Carolyn have yearned to
be filled with His Spirit and to let Christ’s love and power flow through
them, impacting and healing others’ lives. Bob’s deep concern for the poor
and hurting drives him to believe that God wants His people to extend His
love and power beyond church walls to those in need. His passion is to help
Christians grow in knowledge and faith in this vital area of empowered
Kingdom ministry. He desires to bring non-believers to Christ and to reach
others with God’s love and power by training ordinary believers to walk in
Christ’s authority.
In 2001, the Lord led Bob and his family to relocate to Tucson, AZ, where
they established Passion Church. At Passion Church, their ministry
regularly experiences God’s healing grace during prayer. Additionally,
other gifts of the Spirit are often manifested alongside God's healing
power.
Bob has a natural talent for teaching and dedicates much time to
researching and writing to help Christians grow in knowledge and faith. His
latest book, "Lord, Teach Us to Pray," along with his previous work, "Our
Eyes Are on You: Principles to Prevail in Faith and Prayer," focus on
prayer and faith. He has also authored two books on healing: "A Case for
Healing Today" and "Receive Your Miracle Now." Additionally, he wrote an
inspiring book on victorious Christian living titled "Fulfill Your Dreams:
Seize the Day and Be Extraordinary."
Along with his pastoral duties and writing, Bob is a former D Min. mentor
for the Randy Clark Scholars cohort at United Theological Seminary (UTS).
He also previously served as an adjunct professor, teaching master’s level
classes in evangelism, discipleship, and church planting at Global
Awakening Theological Seminary (GATS).
