Kenya

Profile Information:

Gender: Male
Country (not County): Kenya
Occupation:: Evangelist, motivational speaker and HR & Legal Co-ordinator
I'm here to...: Link-up and fellowship with all those who worship God in truth and in spirit...to laugh with those who are laughing and to cry with those who are crying and to not only share their pain, but try to lessen it for them in Christ Jesus!
Interests:: I like everything in life knowing that all that happens is God's will for me and that He will always act for my utmost good according to His divine plan. Many things puzzle me...yes...but nothing takes my happiness out of my hands for I know that Jehovah God is in control. Nothing can ever take the truth He has laid out in Romans8:28 from my heart; ALL THINGS WORK OUT FOR MY GOOD. How so wonderful!!!
I'm passionate about...: Making millions of disciples and winning souls for God! I glory in selflessness for He was selfless...He lived for others and though the owner and originator of all, He chose to live a poor man's life. In the same footsteps, I attach very little importance to material things (which are at best only momentary) and have taught my family to aspire for the secret joy derived from giving. We therefore own so little except the very basic!
My story with God: He is the starter and finisher of my faith through His glorious and wonderful Son Jesus Christ. After spending considerable time chasing the vanities of this world, I have come to accept the fact that there is no thrill like knowing and living for Christ. I was once a Catholic of Catholics...and if there is any one thing I know know for sure, it is that CATHOLISM (AND "RELIGIOSITY AS A WHOLE)" IS THE ONE MOST DANGEROUS weapons satan is using to divide the sheep and lead masses to their eternal damnation. I let anyone who would care to listen know this...those people don't worship Jehovah God the way He has decreed to be worshipped! Let all who have ears listen to what the spirit of the Lord is saying!
Other stuff about me:: I am what one may comfortably label "everyone's servant" and a man for all seasons. I go out of my way to comfort all...more so ladies, who life has treated cruelly, more often than not....in the hands of unconverted men. I cry daily when I see the attrocities meted out on innocent children...even by those closest to them. I am mad about children...I just love kids and spend most of my time with them. I strive daily to be a pillar in prayer...and although I fail repeatedly, I know that Christ looks down on me from His high seat and count all my pitiable struggles for righteousness. I cherish prayers for therein lies my (and yours too) only victory over life's challenges! I adorn daily God's Spiritual armour before I step out as outlined in Ephesians 6:11. It is His WAR...we can only win it through HIS ARMOUR...not our pitiable efforts. He won it already for us, hallelujah!!! Worshiping the Lord in truth and spirit is fun...and truly enjoyable!!! I invite all to give Christ their all. You will never regret the effort.

Good afternoon. God is so good and He is the answer to everything. I like what your said about your relationship with God. I, too, failed to always look to Him as everything that I could want. I thought that the world had something to offer. How wrong I was. The world is nothing. He is everything. God bless you, brother, it's for HIM I live, Anna

Hi Brateng,

Thank you much for that kind of information. I am so glad that i look like someone who impacted your life I hope too may impact people's lives through Christ. there is a common saying that everyone in this world looks like 3people. may be your teacher is one of them.

your request for being friends is greatly accepted. would like to share lots more as we get to know eachother. And also i thank you so much for being a pastor, i have always believed that pastoring is not a simple job but i believe Jesus is your strength, so pliz keep it up. We feel sorry for the political chaos that is going on in your country, we pray for you and I believe soon peace will return to Kenya.

Bye for now and may God bless you so much.

..I believe that everything has a purpose in our life.. even the presence of our weakness too has a purpose. Maybe God will use my weakness to be the strength of other people. My weaknesses and failures will surely teach other youths (one way or another) and How God really proved His faithfullness on me. Thank you for accepting my invite to be your firend. Take care always Pastor.. Godbless!

Your sister in Christ, jhaz. ^-^

This is the first time I have posted this subject. I have talked to Greg about how to present it and he said it would be best to present it in sections. I have about 25 pages to add. keep checking it out, I will add each day until it is all there. I will also give imformation where you will find more imformation. I really liked your comment and am going to place it as a responce on the page. all of us together will be able to provide a life line for abused people and maybe put up a road block keeping people from falling into spiritual abuse. I love you brother and pray for you that God will continue to bless you, your family, and your ministry.

Pastor, i will find mumnienie and make her one of my friends. You are right that as the time draws near to the end, many decievers will go forth in the Earth who will be like Jesus called the Parisees, white washed tomb full of dead mens bones. I was a christian for 12 years when I was drawn into this group. I thought I was careful, I even fasted and prayed and still missed it. I haved learned what makes a man a spiritual man is the fruit of the Spirit in thier lives not the gifts, the devil can counterfeit gifts, but can not counterfeit fruit as easily. In America we have seen what seemed very anointed ministers who were revealed to be liers, imoral, and greedy people. I believe that satan tries to use pride to make them think they are supperior and and above reproach. I think greed the love of money and material thing is one of the down falls.A really good ministry you might check out is lifechurch.tv go to watch message series Hostage. This message is very powerful, they have many messages that can strengthen your faith. God bless you my brother in this wonderful day.

Great!
Thank you for your good wishes and kind words.
Yes! Of course we can be friends and I look forward to our Christian growth as we communicate with each other.
The whole of Africa needs our prayers my brother.
The new world is running away from them and it has started to become impossible for them to catch up.
Even in S.Africa I watch as the 3rd world slowly encroaches. While we do not have "War Lords" we have corrupt politicians and poor government. One of our leaders cannot give an account for 80 Million Rand supposedly for use in his department. Yet the governing body, despite this, has given him the biggest annual increase in salary they possibly can. This,while millions are battling for survival and living in squalor. Part of that 80 million was supposed to help alleviate problems.
Little do they realise that they will yet have to answer to a higher authority for their mismangement and greed.
The Lord Bless you and yes! Save Africa.
Your brother and friend in Christ - Ron

Thanks Pastor Bernhard for your kind words.Did u realize that i even made spelling mistakes on my mail to u?wow..i was in a rush atleast to answer you before someone comes to my office again.The lord is good and He has kept us going.Sometimes its really tempting but the Lord is my shield.i pray that He secures me daily against such people.They do come of course needing 'help' but what i always tell them is that,better solve the problem the way it is even if it takes you 3-4 years to clear your tax arrears and penalties than to bribe cause your problem will not be solved by so doing.They have come to know me as such and liked me as so.Infact when iam on leave i receive so many calls from clients who want to be assisted because they know i give a factual solution to their problems.its really challenging but its better to seek God's counsel to differentiate a gift and a bribe.More so gifts are rare to come by,so you need spiritual discernment to differentiate the same cause i cant say i refuse gifts but gifts maybe come during christmas and such festivities from those who remember my assistance and sincerely appreciate.But still you need to be careful not to be dragged down.Otherwise they know i dont take bribes.Be blessed and do pray for those of us in the profession who are saved so that we can do the right thing for this nation and be a true light to this part of the world.

My brother this song is a song of intercession, let the words of this song flow out from our hearts to the Father to touch this generation. both in africa and here in America. The tears flow from my eyes as my heart breaks before the lord that he might answer and revive this lost and broken world.

Ha Ha!! You can call me Grace! My husband isn't a fan of putting your name on line if you can help it. I'm not another joker in the park. Ragamuffin is a name I choose because of the book Ragamuffin Gospel and I love to sing so Ragamuffin Song it was.

My husband has been to Kenya on a Mission Trip. It was his last trip with his father before his father passed away. His Father went over a number of times and My husband and his mother still keep in touch with them via e-mail. Many of them are displaced right now.

Greeings and Oh yes... Tremedous Blessings. The house project is right on schedule and You know what?? Our Insurance Company was low dollaring us on the home improvements/ repairs but The good lord solved that problem .. When I went to the Home Repair Store, The Kitchen Cabinets I needed were on SALE and 1/2 off the original price and the flooring was being discontinued so I was able to purchase it as well for a 1/4 of the retail price. I tell you what, God shined his loving goodness abundently down on me. So glad you are well, and Yes, Your skills would be a blessing.
You take good care...
Sending you big ((hugs)) across the oceans and Many Blessings...

Pastor -

Thank you for all the wisdom in your comments. They will take some time to digest them. WOW, you sure pack a lot of information into your post. I love it. At the time, my husband and I are seeking the Lord's wisdom and guidance in finding a new church home. We are actually only living about 1 hour and 20 minutes away from our old church. This has made it all most impossible to be active in the women's group and other church ministries. However, I feel God wants us to be involved in a local church where we can fellowship, serve, and be involed. I am not one to just sit on the side lines. Thinking about your comments and things in my past, I guess I am scared about finding a church where I have customers (own a small printing and shipping store) in leadership and attending. There are two leasons I am struggling with: 1) I loved a church I attended. It was not until I started working there 5 days a week (as a christian school teacher) that I discovered the Pastor and other leadership (most of Pastor's family were the leaders) were not anywhere near the Christians they acted like on Sundays. 2) I share God's word and blessings with others as they are in my store, but what if I turn out not to be the Christian I have lead them to be.

WOW! Sorry to lay so much on you. Your comments are so thought provoking and I just feel I can be honest with you and that you will be honest, in Christ's love, to me. Thanks so very much for allowing God to use you to minister to people here on the NET. My prayers are with you and your family, that God may continue to use you in a mighty way. Stay focused in the CROSS. God Bless, your sister in Christ, Sue

Hello, thank you for your offer of prayer for my family, I can't help but every moment of every day being consumed with thoughts and prayers for reunification and healing. It hurts so bad at times to see my loved ones so seperae and struggling instead of being the family God intended. Free will can be a real bumber.

Hi Pastor Bernhard. It's hard to have another church in Indonesia but we're growing rapidly especially "Tiberias Church" with Senior Pastor Yesaya Pariadji STh. Christians is only very minority here. But we've at least 40 branches here and also in America (1), Australia (1) and other country and still progressing. Please pray for us to grow rapidly more until we win all Indonesia for Christ. I myself study christian theology in Harvest International Theological Seminary on my first year. Still 3 years to go. Pray for me too so I can follow your step. JBU. Christy - Indonesia
