Restoring the Living Stones of the Kingdom
Welcome to Lapidarist Stone. Your place where faith, restoration, purpose, and honest conversation meet. At Lapidarist Stone, we believe God shapes His people much like a master lapidarist shapes a precious stone. Through patience, pressure, precision, care, and intentional craftsmanship, rough stones are transformed into something beautiful and valuable. In the same way, we believe God works through every season of life, even the painful and uncertain ones, to reveal the beauty of His purpose within us.
Who Are Dewald & Angelina?
Dewald and Angelina walk together not just as husband and wife, but as co-labourers in the ministry of restoration. Their shared path has been one of rediscovering God's gentle hand amidst the pressures of leadership. They understand the weight you carry because they have carried it too, and their heart is to see every Christian with kingdom purpose find a safe harbour where they can be seen and healed.
Dewald
For over 25 years, Dewald Koch has served in ministry, missions, leadership development, and cross-cultural church work with a deep passion to see people restored to their God-given identity and purpose. His journey has taken him across cultures, churches, and communities, planting and strengthening ministries while walking alongside people through seasons of growth, transition, healing, and rediscovery. More than titles or positions, Dewald carries a burden for authentic Kingdom culture — helping people encounter the transforming reality of Christ in everyday life. His teaching combines biblical depth, practical wisdom, pastoral honesty, and a conversational approach that invites people into genuine spiritual formation rather than performance-driven religion. Much of the heart behind Lapidarist Stone was shaped through personal seasons of brokenness, restoration, and rebuilding. Through those experiences, Dewald discovered that God does not merely use polished people but often restores and reshapes lives in the hidden places before revealing His purpose through them. This conviction now forms the foundation of his ministry: empowering people to uncover the beauty, calling, and identity God has placed within them. Together with Angelina, Dewald now ministers with a holistic vision that integrates spiritual formation, emotional health, leadership restoration, and Kingdom purpose. Their shared heart is to strengthen and encourage those influencing the world around them — whether in ministry, business, missions, family life, or everyday service to the Kingdom of God.
Angelina
Angelina is a qualified Medical Doctor (MD), psychiatrist, creative artist, and ministry leader whose work integrates clinical expertise, artistic excellence, relational insight, and spiritual depth. She continues to practise medicine within both private and government healthcare settings in the United Kingdom and internationally, bringing extensive experience supporting individuals through complex emotional, psychological, relational, and personal challenges.
She holds a Medical Doctorate (MD), a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, a formal teaching qualification, and has research experience connected with the University of London. Her multidisciplinary background across medicine, education, research, the arts, and Kingdom service has equipped her with a deep understanding of emotional wellbeing, interpersonal dynamics, identity, and restorative healing.
Angelina has an accomplished background in the performing arts, with professional training and experience in drama, music, dance, and creative performance. Her artistic journey includes agency representation, recognised creative achievement, and award-winning scriptwriting honours within international screenplay competitions and respected film and script festivals. A prophetically gifted communicator, she is known for combining spiritual depth with creativity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence.
Angelina is especially recognised for her ability to bring insight, wisdom, and restoration into complex relational and personal situations, helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional wounds, identity struggles, and life transitions with compassion, discernment, and care.
Much of the heart behind her work and ministry was shaped through her personal experiences through life’s challenges, which became a profound journey of healing, restoration, and spiritual growth. These experiences cultivated within her a deep commitment to creating safe and restorative spaces where people can encounter encouragement, healing, renewed identity, and freedom without fear of judgement or performance-driven expectations.
Today, Angelina combines psychiatric expertise, creative excellence, and spiritual discernment to strengthen emotional wellbeing, restore relationships, and help people flourish in both life and Kingdom purpose. Together with Dewald, she co-leads Lapidarist Stone, empowering people from all walks of life through a ministry centred on healing, restoration, transformation, and renewed purpose in Christ.
We offer a confidential space for leaders to be heard and held, providing deep pastoral wisdom for those carrying the weight of ministry.
Pastoral Care
Our calling is to come alongside those shaping the Kingdom of God — whether in ministry, missions, business, family, counselling, outreach, or leadership — and help them rediscover passion, health, identity, and mission.
This calling is not limited by geography. Our heart has always been for the nations. We long to see communities of believers strengthened, table fellowship restored, and the Body of Christ becoming wholesome, healthy, and fruitful again.
We believe healthy ministers and servants help build healthy churches. Healthy churches build healthy communities. And healthy communities carry Kingdom impact into society.
At the centre of everything we do — whether through Lapidarist Stone, church planting, pastoral care, consulting, or table fellowship — is one passion: to see the culture of the Kingdom of God established and re-established through the Body of Christ.
We believe some of God’s most beautiful work is revealed not in perfection, but through the refining process.
Our Calling
Restoring the identity of 'living stones'. We walk through the process of healing and rediscovery, ensuring you flourish in your God-given calling.

THE FUTURE
Building a Flourishing Kingdom Community
We envision to help build a flourishing community of Kingdom influencers in every walk of life. From ministry and missions to business, healthcare, education, family, and the creative arts, we believe God works through ordinary people who carry His presence extraordinarily into the world around them. Our heart is to encourage, restore, and strengthen those advancing the Kingdom of God. We believe that failure, wounds, burnout, or difficult seasons do not automatically place a person beyond the grace, healing, and restorative work of God. While restoration requires humility, accountability, repentance, and a willingness to walk in truth and community, we believe many people can, through wise support and spiritual care, recover strength, rediscover purpose, and continue flourishing in the calling God has entrusted to them.
