Convert to Disciple – Course 100

Ben Cerullo has been named by Charisma Magazine as one of the “30 Emerging Voices” who will lead the church in the next decade. Traveling extensively, both domestically and internationally to more than 27 nations, his ministry carries a powerful anointing and prophetic message. God continues to use Ben to reach people with the Gospel, confirming His Word with signs following.

Ben has a rich spiritual heritage. His grandfather, Morris Cerullo, has a worldwide ministry and continues to preach the Gospel as he has for more than 50 years. Ben’s father, David Cerullo, is chairman and CEO of Inspiration Ministries (which reaches more than a billion potential people daily through its worldwide television networks, video-on-demand, online streaming, and other media outreaches).

Ben grew up in San Diego, California with a passion for action sports. Although he sensed God’s call on his life as a young boy, during his teen years, he rebelled and ran from this call. Soon after, Ben’s drug and alcohol abuse became so serious that he was hospitalized. But this hospital experience proved to be life-changing, and sparked his return to the Lord.

Ben renewed his commitment to the Lord, and followed God’s call into full-time ministry. Initially, his primary burdens were the many young people who, like himself, struggled to find their own identity and often felt ignored by the traditional church. In 2000, he started Steelroots, one of the first ministries to blend action sports with Christian music to reach youth.

Under Ben’s leadership, Steelroots sponsored live events and produced groundbreaking television programs that brought an unconventional approach to modern day evangelism. It also crossed cultural and generational boundaries, and reached a broad international television audience.

In 2007, Ben felt the call of God to move in a new direction: To reach to the nations of the world.

Ben obeyed and stepped away from Steelroots. As doors began opening, he felt a particular passion to reach people who often had been overlooked, holding meetings in places such as Sierra Leone, Honduras, Peru, Haiti, Sri Lanka, India, Brazil, Colombia, England, Russia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Taipei, Taiwan, and Mexico.

In recent years, Ben has become more highly visible within Inspiration Ministries, appearing on numerous programs and events.

Ben continues to travel and preach the Gospel, and enjoys spending time with his wife and children.
