Dr. André Roebert has been in ministry since 1991; André married Jenny in March 1992 and together they served first as Youth Pastors, and later on became District Pastors to assist the Senior Pastors at Good News Church in King Williams Town (Eastern Cape, South Africa).

In 1996 God started to birth a deep desire for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in both André and Jenny and they started Revival South Africa, an itinerant ministry that travelled from town to town throughout South Africa, out of which The River Church and Ministry was birthed in 1998 in East London. Just two years later God led them into the first of many business ventures and a 55 000 square meter (670 000 square foot) building was purchased that would become the headquarters of the River Group today.

Dr. André and Jenny are the Founders and Presidents of the River Group, comprising many different companies and ministries. With the group's three satellite channels, terrestrial broadcasts, multiple building investments, a satellite radio channel, multiple associated ministries, a humanitarian aid division in full operation, and The River Hotels Group, they are able to touch millions of people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As part of the group, and key to spreading the gospel is Faith Broadcasting Network, comprising of multiple channels - satellite, terrestrial and digital - broadcasting the message of hope across the world. Drs. André and Jenny, together with many other people that share a heart for reaching the lost preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ both effectively and efficiently across the nations of the world. The entire continent of Africa, the UK and North America is reached through FaithAfrica and FaithUK via satellite; in addition, digital terrestrial transmissions reach parts of Africa (GoTV) and FaithUSA is broadcast in North America. The digital platform FaithNOW, offers digital streaming of all three channels, some radio stations and podcasts, as well as a wide variety of VOD options; since this platform is available on all the major digital stores for download the reach is global. Through these broadcasts, a partnership following of hundreds of thousands around the world, as well as several web broadcasts are now literally taking the gospel to the ends of the earth 24/7.

It is truly a story of grace and God's love for His children that drives both Dr's André & Jenny to continue to do all that He has lead them to do, as they remain humble to fulfil His purpose of seen the lost come to Him until that great day of His return.

Pastor Jenny Roebert, alongside her husband Dr. André Roebert, is devoted to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ reach every nation and creed, across the globe, through the medium of Christian television. Together, they minister to countless people over the airwaves on Faith Broadcasting Network, that covers the continent of Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

When in East London, South Africa, Jenny ministers with her husband, who heads up the River Group, teaching the Word of God, through the power of the Holy Spirit at their home church The River, of which they are the visionary pastors. Having been significantly touched and changed by the power of the Holy Spirit herself, Jenny is passionate in her call to be used by God to share the truth and reality of the power of God with others. She is passionate about the Word and fully believes that it has the power to change every human life, without exception, that willingly receives its truth into their hearts. She is an anointed writer, preacher, teacher, prayer warrior, and mentor called to encourage the body of Christ. With a sincere heart for people and desire to see the person of Jesus made real to them, Jenny doesn't take the calling and assignment she has been given lightly and considers it a Divine privilege.
