2 Whenever a man makes a vow to Adonai or swears an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he is not to violate his word but do everything coming out of his mouth.[a] 3 “Suppose a woman in her youth vows to Adonai or obligates herself by a pledge in her father’s house. 4 If her father should hear her vow or her pledge with which she obligated herself and her father says nothing to her, all her vows and every pledge by which she has obligated herself will stand. 5 But if her father should forbid it on the day of his hearing it, none of her vows or pledges by which she has obligated herself will stand. Adonai will forgive her because her father has forbidden her. 6 “Suppose she should marry, after her vow or a rash promise of her lips by which she obligated herself. 7 Now if her husband hears about it but says nothing to her on the day he hears about it, her vows will stand and her pledges by which she has obligated herself will stand. 8 But if her husband should hear about it and on the day he hears it he forbids it, he thereby nullifies her vow and her rash promise by which her lips have obligated her, and Adonai will forgive her. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Num.+30%3A2-32%3A42&version=TLV |

Seven Woes23 Then Yeshua spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, 2 saying, “The Torahscholars and Pharisees sit on the seat of Moses. 3 So whatever they tell you, do and observe. But don’t do what they do; for what they say, they do not do. 4 They tie up heavy loads, hard to carry,[a] and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them. 5 All their works they do to be noticed by men. They make their tefillin wide and their tzitziyot long. [b] 6 They love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called rabbi by men. 8 “But you are not to be called rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And call no man on earth your father; for One is your Father, who is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Messiah. 11 But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mt.+23%3A1%E2%80%93+25%3A46&version=TLV Luke 13 : 1 - 913 Now there were some present at the same time who told Yeshua about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 He answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans are worse sinners than the rest of the Galileans because they have suffered these things? 3 No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you all will perish the same way. 4 “Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and were killed, do you suppose that they are worse sinners than all the people living in Jerusalem? 5 No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you all will perish the same way. 6 Then Yeshua began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree he had planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. 7 So he said to the gardener, ‘Indeed, for three years I‘ve come searching for fruit on this fig tree and found none. Remove it! Why does it use up the ground?’ 8 “But answering, the gardener said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer. 9 And if it bears fruit, good. But if not, cut it down.’” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+13%3A1-9&version=TLV |

Dr. Christiaan J. de Ruiter, also known as Pastor Chris, was born in the Netherlands as the youngest of six children. Growing up in the Salvation Army, he had a vibrant upbringing, actively engaging in the choir and brass band. When he moved to the United States, his involvement in the American branch of the Salvation Army continued, where he served as a local officer, bandmaster, and instructor.
During his time in the Salvation Army, Dr. de Ruiter embarked on numerous ministry trips across the western US, spreading the Gospel through his powerful words and musical talents. However, a longing to explore more began stirring within him. Prompted by his dear friend, Dr. J.B. Davidson, he started contemplating whether it was time to make a definitive decision for Christ and answer the call to pastor a church. Seeking divine guidance through prayer, he received confirmation from God.
As a result, Dr. de Ruiter and his friend collaborated to establish New Beginnings Christian Center, bringing much-needed ministry in prayer and healing to the community of Murray, Utah.
Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, the ministry had to be dissolved when Pastor Christiaan relocated to Texas in 2007. However, after a period of personal struggle and growth, a small church was born, giving rise to Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International in December 2009.
Over time, the church transformed into the teaching ministry it is today.
Power in His Wings
On December 27, 2011, the first edition of Power in His Wings was published, marking an important milestone in their journey.
In the span of eight years, this ministry has flourished into a respected voice for solid Charismatic Messianic teachings. They have expanded their reach through various websites and an online radio station that showcases diverse styles of music, as long as they honor and glorify YHWH.
Blood on the Door (The Mezuzah)
In 2015, the second book, Blood on the Door (the Mezuzah), was completed. However, it was never published as 
Pastor Christiaan was dissatisfied with the grammar of the first book and uncertain about the second, causing him to continually postpone its release. Additionally, the Dutch translation of Power in His Wings was completed around 2018 with the assistance of his brother Guus and Salvation Army friend Hans Schiedon but remained unpublished.
Website and Radio
On average, the ministry's websites attract six to seven thousand visitors per month. In 2021, the radio station garnered over 30,000 listeners, with 16,000 of them being returning listeners.
Fast forward to 2023, the renewed, updated, and significantly expanded edition of Power in His Wings has been made available to the public. Similarly, Blood on the Door has undergone substantial updates, and content expansion, is set to be released in the second half of 2023.
