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.
Thank you for the kind words. May God's blessing continue to rest on you and may He continue to work through you as you use your gift of encouraging others.
Precious Brother bratenq:
I hope this finds you well. May God our Father, (I call Him Da Da) richly bless you through Jesus Christ our Lord. I am excited to be here and am looking forward to meeting each of you and sharing the wonderful things God is doing in each of our lives. I hope God will use me to be an inspiration and friend to you all. That new infilling and spiritual touch sounds wonderful as always to be more intimate with Jesus and His children. Please feel free to drop in anytime and share a praise report, or allow me to help you carry your burdens to the Lord in prayer. They know us by our love for each other.

Dearest Brother
We all love you and admire your love for our CHRIST AND MASTER...
I not only uphold Christy in prayer but ou and your gorgeous family.
May God give you strength and courage to carry on! Keep gathering the flock of Jesus and nurture and feed them with the Bread of Life.
I know that God is faithful and Christy is going to be OK... We sincerely pray that she is going to have a wonderful family re-union and that being with her daughter will give her the necessary
healing and comfort.
My dear brother,
You once humbly said to me that you pastor a small church, as if the number were insignificant. But I see you ministering to so many here on the Net. Your words of wisdom, kindness, and faith are cherished by so many around the world. Your pastoral ministry is so much larger than you realize or admit.
I know that your day is done, just as mine is beginning. I hope you have a beautiful and blessed weekend with your family! Give my love to your wife and children! God Bless you Brother!
Blessings on you brother Brateng and your family! I pray that you would be comforted and encouraged in the Lord, I also pray that you will hear from Sylvia very shortly, and do not be so hard on yourself for miss-placeing the phone number, I am sure that she will understand and will be happy as soon as she is able to make contact once again with everyone.
B-blessed;
Michael
Your sister Christy Gabriel will most definitely be in my prayers, and so will you. Please tell her that our Lord Jesus stopped and helped people through out his life here on earth, and that the bible clearly states that we should "walk in the spirit". Our Father would want her to come to her brothers and sisters for any help.
Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you. Exodus 23:25
Dearest Brother Bernhard
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME. You draw all prayers from our fiends here to me so Jesus just have to restore my health... as He's just doing that now... as He promises it in His Bible. Yesterday I had a final check-up for my going abroad this 8th and as you have known the result is just A MIRACLE: From `180/100 went straight down to 120/90 just over one night! IT IS YOUR PRAYERS ANSWER FROM JESUS HIMSELF DEAR!!! I am sooo happy to receive this from His Own Hands! HE is always my ONLY God and Savior!!! HE saved me many times and HE will always save me from my daily burden!!! HE IS SURELY THE ONLY SAVIOR FOR US ALL... I GIVE MY DAILY THANKSGIVING FOR WHO HE IS TO ME AND TO ALL OF YOU!!! HE IS ALWAYS FAITHFUL AND GREAT!!! HIS WITNESSES OF HIS FAITHFULNESS GROWS MY FAITH IN HIM ONLY!!! No words can supply my Love for Him now... I see Him in you always Bernhard and I see Him also in our beloved friends here. I have no ability to "sweet-talk" you all, but my Lord will let you all know that I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY!!! JUST BE BLESSED MY BELOVED FRIENDS.
Thanks for your all-abiding love. Your messages always bless my soul and that of my family. As a matter of fact, we have openned a folder named "RAMONA" in our house where we save all those uplifting messages you share with us.
If you can care to ask my mom Nienie, there are no hugs I cherish more than hugs from sweet down South Africa! I welcome yours and loss myself in them for they are the out-stretched arms of Christ.
I salute you sister for the consistent work you do for the Lord here...and to all of us. God bless you to the hilt dear. Love you-Pst. Bernhard C.
BE BLESSED DEAREST PASTOR AND LOYAL HELPMEET AND WIFE OF BRATENG
IT IS SO WONDERFUL THAT WE CAN SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS AND I AM HUMBLY SAYING THANK YOU FOR CARESSING AND CHERISHING DTHE WORDS OF A "YOUNG" OLD LADY. I AM A GREAT GANDMOTHER (RECENTLY) AND I PRAISE THE LORD THAT WITH AGE - PERHAPS BEAUTY FADES - BUT OUR KNOWLEDGE GROWS AND THIS MAKES US MORE BEAUTIFUL "INSIDE". A BEAUTIFUL EXTERIOR WITHOUT LOVE IS WORTHLESS. I WILL CONTINUE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES AND OUR BELOVED AFRICA (I A PART OF IT).
LET US UPHOLD EACH OTHER LIKE THE ISRAELITES OF OLD HELD UP MOSES' ARMS...
OUR ONLY HOPE AND STRENGTH LIES IN THE HANDS OF OUR FATHER GOD.
HE IS ALMIGHTY AND I AWAIT THE WONDER OF A REVIVAL IN AFRICA WITH GREAT EXPECTATION. (LIKE THE FATHER WHO STARED INTO THE DISTANCE, LOOKING FOR HIS PRODIGAL SON... AND REJOICED WHEN HE SAW HIM FROM AFAR..."
It was so good to hear that the medicine is working for Christy for the glory of praise to the Lord Jesus.
I got a real blessing the other day. A family in my church has 3 boys 18,15,13. The 15 year old named Ryan was vey sick and in the hospital last Sunday.
We went to see him and pray for him Sunday afternoon. My pastor,his wife, my friend Roberto, and myself along with the rest of the family were there.
We had communion at church, so Pastor Bill brought some and we had it right there in the hospital room, then we prayed for his healing.
Praise God he was at prayer Wed. better, with his parents. Praise God! When we left the hospital we prayed for a young girl and she got saved, then my friend Roberto went out to dinner with his wife and led his waitress to the Lord. We are expearencing such a revival in our church, it is a so awesome, sometimes the presence of God is overwhelming when we come together.
We in the north eastern part of the United States have been called God's chosen frozen, but I think we are finally melting. lol
My brother I share this with you to stir up hunger in your heart for more of God.
The Holy Spirit is doing great things these days. I heard a testimony of a youth group who went to central America recently and as they we witnessing house to house they found a women whose baby was still born, they prayed that God would raise the baby back to life for the glory of God.
The baby came back to life. a week later the whole village had a cellibration and most of the village of 90 were converted to Christ. The baby was named after the girl who prayed for her to come back to life.
Wow this is like the book of Acts. Praise to the Lord.
In the love of Jesus.
Bob
My friend,
I understand and appreciate that you do not want to be lifted, so let me re-word my last observation... I am continually amazed at the way that Christ is working through you in this community. It seems at every page I visit I see a comment from you, brother, as you deliver some word of encouragement. I see this also in my friend Bob B. God is using you both to serve this online community, and it is a beautiful thing.
Dearest friend in Christ,
May you be blessed with this message as you open this page tomorrow. I hope you have enjoyed your sunday with your family.
We are praying for Christy's journey that God may be with her and her family too. Love you in Jesus's Name.
Be blessed and be filled with the holy spirit of our Lord.
lorna.
Dearest,brateng,the Lord is certainly working through you in wonderful ways ,I as I know many others will ,shall also be praying that Christy Gabriel won't be needing the medication she is on ,for much longer.Sorry I missed your instant message the other day ,by the time I noticed it and replied you were off line.Any way it is good to write back to you about such good news,Gods speed for now Andrew.
I thank God for you, your encouraging words for all of
us on the AAG.NET. I enjoyed reading your story with God and listening to your choice of music. I am not
very internet savvy yet, but, I am learning and one day
I will redo my page with photos etc. I pray for your success through the Holy Spirit to make millions of desciples and winning souls for Our Lord! This is also
a prayer for myself, I am not as bold as I want and need to be to do God's will to witness to everyone!! I need prayer for this. God Bless You, in all that you do for His sake. Your Sister In His Peace
You will be blown away with this song, the man singing had just been told that he had cancer, and he set down and wrote this song . I have shed a river of tears watching him declare the truth of the word of God inspite of his cercumstances. I know it will bless your socks off. blessings
Bob
Hii Bro.iam fine and family and the Lord is by our side.Want to inform you that ive been transferred to coast region with effect from 1/7/08.will come to report on wed.11th or thur.12th now i will have an opportunity to visit you soon.May His love abound in you and family until we meet.
Yeh the bless your socks off is something I like to say. I have a friend that I ask him if he had to buy new socks lately. Brother you are a wonderful man of God. So I am asking God to bless your socks off all day.lol
This is my new favorite song called open up the sky.
Precious friend bratenq,
My heart rejoices for your friend Christy. God is good and we need Him at every moment's turn. I know this because the enemy is there to seek whom he can devour, BUT greater is HE that is in me than he that is in this world. I remind my friends in the world God is a good God and He doesn't do the horrible attrocities in this world but there is one who does. He seeks to steal, kill and destroy and it is he we battle against not God. i hope the battle is going well with you and yours and as I look at the precious ones in your photos I see smiling precious faces of those children you love. I love the precious ones and I grieve with you when they are harmed. I know because I was a child who satan tried to destroy through some unpleasant circumstances BUT praise God!!! Look at me now, I am a child of the King headed for glory and living an abundant life in Jesus Christ!! What a life!
Love and hugs to a sweet brother in Christ,
Patricia

Hi Dearest Brother Bernhard
I am still preparing the luggage. Last Night I was sooo worn out so this morning I woke with spinning in my head and felt like vomiting. But I am ok now. So Please bless me dear for my Journey that my health will behave well, ok???
How are you, I am very well God is very good to me, I have resigned from this company, I will be going into my own business full time. I had started my own business last yar November, I kept asking God to make this business prosperous as I want to use it for his Glory, he has now said to me Tessa you cant serve two masters. I know that so I have decided to leave my permanent work and go full time into my own business and trust God will do the rest, I will serve him with my whole heart and soul, he is my everything, and I wont necessarily have a church to minister from but I will be telling of his golry wherever I go work, it is a filing business so we go and do filing for companies, I see it as a great opportunity to spread God word in different places.
Thank you for being so loyal to God and keeping in touch with us, I will Glorify his name no matter what he is my King and even if I am not communicating on the net I am communicating around me about God's wonders and how awesome Jesus is and what he has done for us.
Pastor I have experienced a whole new level of his love that my heart overflows with joy and gladness and yet gratetude for everything and everyone, this type of love can only be given by our Father I have never felt so much pure true love, and it endures forever.
Thank you for everything, for shining Gods love over the net.
I am Catholic, and I am shocked by the way you describe the Catholics. So I just found out that this site is not for Catholic? Hm...I thought that Catholic is just denomination, it is still Christian. Why? I'm not trying to offend. I just recently join this net...and there I stumbled at the first person I am courious about.
It is good that you can take a day off and spend it in prayer. I would be very grateful if you would include me and my family in your prayers! I wanted to tell you that I would be very pleased to receive an email, or to chat with you. I often see you on yahoo, but I don't want to disturb you with an IM because I know you are such a busy man! Message me any time, I will be glad to speak with you!
Besides not being well I have been exceptionally busy and dont find the time to even say hello, please forgive me.
There seems to be something wrong with my page, the entire set up is different, can't find the place where I used to be able to access messages and I am unable to see photo's, not sure what has gone wrong. Im also unable to add friends, who do I speak to, do you have any idea?
I can see that as usual you are lifting up the sick and broken people on the net, you truly are a Christlike man
pastor. I have missed chatting to you and Nienie but with my page being all wonky and me being so busy at work I just havent had the time or inclination to battle trying to get a comment or message through to those dear to me.
I hope you get this and that if you do, it finds you in good health.
Son
Our little Faith is growing bigger and bigger. It is so late and I am awfully tired but I can't leave without leaving my footprints on my sons page.
Give my love to your beauty and all the special children.
When you speak to sister Christy tell her she stays in my prayers and she must believe that she is healed in JEsus name. She must enjoy the wedding!!
Have a lovely day my son.
BLessings and much love Mom

Thank you so much for the comments. Sometimes i wonder if i could do without you on this net. Dont even think again about the villa..well i hope you are fairing on well with God's Grace. was looking through all your friends list and i found two patiences so i picked one black and I hope she the one you wanted to introduce to me. I have sent her a short message..actually a friend's request...now awaiting her reply. do not feel like you laying alot on me..I am just hoping that I be able to help..and remember you at liberty to ask for anything..iam always there for you. Patience is already in my prayers..and as i was perusing through her page i realised that friends are already at it. I trully love the solidarity of this page.
I want you to help me and teach me how i can send one message to all my friends. Be blessed.

Hi Brateng,

Dear Brother,
Please continue to lift my mother in prayer. She is home from the hospital today, but there is some infection that has the doctors concerned. Thank you Pastor Bernhard! I hope you've had a blessed day.
DEAREST BRATENG AND FAMILY IN CHRIST
JUST A SHORT NOTE TO SAY I LOVE YOU BUT JESUS LOVES YOU MORE...
I WILL SEND YOU A PHOTO (I AM HONOURED) BUT MY SCANNER IS A LITTLE "SICK" AT THE MOMENT. WILL GET IT INTO ORDER AGAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND GORGEOUS CHILDREN. MAY THE LORD BLESS YOUR SERMONS THIS WEEKEND AND MAY HE GIVE YOU THE MOST POWERFUL MESSAGE TO GIVE TO THE HUNGRY PEOPLE! FEED YOUR LAMBS.
Hey sonny
An hour earlier at home today, since it was my last day and everything is up to date, so now another book is closed and I am about to start the new.
Thought I just stop by to say have a heavenly day!!
Love Ma
My dearest Christ Disciple
I am one of Christy's friends in Jesus. I am so glad if I contribute to your growth... we never become too old to grow. I am a "young" old lady who is prepared to sit at a disciples feet to learn... We can never know enough about God and His son - our Redeemer.
I, like you, am passionate about children and babies and I weep to see how sadly they are treated.
Mari (my daughter married to pastor) helps at a baby home for abandoned babies who mostly are HIV infected. Jessica, my 10 year old granddaughter just loves the babies and it is the highlight of her life when they are allowed to keep one for a week or so to relieve the staff and her greatest ambition is to be a MOTHER to a BABY HOUSE when she is grown up. And I just feel that this is what she will do. She is very much like me - compassionate and kind - even though I say so myself. I weep for people in distress and my hand and heart is always open...
Praise God that we worship together for we all serve the same God and have the same Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Fond love to your darling wife and children

HE IS ALMIGHTY AND I AWAIT THE WONDER OF A REVIVAL IN AFRICA WITH GREAT EXPECTATION. (LIKE THE FATHER WHO STARED INTO THE DISTANCE, LOOKING FOR HIS PRODIGAL SON... AND REJOICED WHEN HE SAW HIM FROM AFAR..."

It was so good to hear that the medicine is working for Christy for the glory of praise to the Lord Jesus.I got a real blessing the other day. A family in my church has 3 boys 18,15,13. The 15 year old named Ryan was vey sick and in the hospital last Sunday.
We went to see him and pray for him Sunday afternoon. My pastor,his wife, my friend Roberto, and myself along with the rest of the family were there.
We had communion at church, so Pastor Bill brought some and we had it right there in the hospital room, then we prayed for his healing.
Praise God he was at prayer Wed. better, with his parents. Praise God! When we left the hospital we prayed for a young girl and she got saved, then my friend Roberto went out to dinner with his wife and led his waitress to the Lord. We are expearencing such a revival in our church, it is a so awesome, sometimes the presence of God is overwhelming when we come together.
We in the north eastern part of the United States have been called God's chosen frozen, but I think we are finally melting. lol
My brother I share this with you to stir up hunger in your heart for more of God.
The Holy Spirit is doing great things these days. I heard a testimony of a youth group who went to central America recently and as they we witnessing house to house they found a women whose baby was still born, they prayed that God would raise the baby back to life for the glory of God.
The baby came back to life. a week later the whole village had a cellibration and most of the village of 90 were converted to Christ. The baby was named after the girl who prayed for her to come back to life.
Wow this is like the book of Acts. Praise to the Lord.
In the love of Jesus.

I understand and appreciate that you do not want to be lifted, so let me re-word my last observation... I am continually amazed at the way that Christ is working through you in this community. It seems at every page I visit I see a comment from you, brother, as you deliver some word of encouragement. I see this also in my friend Bob B. God is using you both to serve this online community, and it is a beautiful thing.

a prayer for myself, I am not as bold as I want and need to be to do God's will to witness to everyone!! I need prayer for this. God Bless You, in all that you do for His sake. Your Sister In His Peace

My heart rejoices for your friend Christy. God is good and we need Him at every moment's turn. I know this because the enemy is there to seek whom he can devour, BUT greater is HE that is in me than he that is in this world. I remind my friends in the world God is a good God and He doesn't do the horrible attrocities in this world but there is one who does. He seeks to steal, kill and destroy and it is he we battle against not God. i hope the battle is going well with you and yours and as I look at the precious ones in your photos I see smiling precious faces of those children you love. I love the precious ones and I grieve with you when they are harmed. I know because I was a child who satan tried to destroy through some unpleasant circumstances BUT praise God!!! Look at me now, I am a child of the King headed for glory and living an abundant life in Jesus Christ!! What a life!
Love and hugs to a sweet brother in Christ,
Patricia

How are you, I am very well God is very good to me, I have resigned from this company, I will be going into my own business full time. I had started my own business last yar November, I kept asking God to make this business prosperous as I want to use it for his Glory, he has now said to me Tessa you cant serve two masters. I know that so I have decided to leave my permanent work and go full time into my own business and trust God will do the rest, I will serve him with my whole heart and soul, he is my everything, and I wont necessarily have a church to minister from but I will be telling of his golry wherever I go work, it is a filing business so we go and do filing for companies, I see it as a great opportunity to spread God word in different places.
Thank you for being so loyal to God and keeping in touch with us, I will Glorify his name no matter what he is my King and even if I am not communicating on the net I am communicating around me about God's wonders and how awesome Jesus is and what he has done for us.
Pastor I have experienced a whole new level of his love that my heart overflows with joy and gladness and yet gratetude for everything and everyone, this type of love can only be given by our Father I have never felt so much pure true love, and it endures forever.
Thank you for everything, for shining Gods love over the net.
I will speak to you again
Love

Besides not being well I have been exceptionally busy and dont find the time to even say hello, please forgive me.
There seems to be something wrong with my page, the entire set up is different, can't find the place where I used to be able to access messages and I am unable to see photo's, not sure what has gone wrong. Im also unable to add friends, who do I speak to, do you have any idea?
I can see that as usual you are lifting up the sick and broken people on the net, you truly are a Christlike man
pastor. I have missed chatting to you and Nienie but with my page being all wonky and me being so busy at work I just havent had the time or inclination to battle trying to get a comment or message through to those dear to me.
I hope you get this and that if you do, it finds you in good health.
Take care and God Bless

Our little Faith is growing bigger and bigger. It is so late and I am awfully tired but I can't leave without leaving my footprints on my sons page.
Give my love to your beauty and all the special children.
When you speak to sister Christy tell her she stays in my prayers and she must believe that she is healed in JEsus name. She must enjoy the wedding!!
Have a lovely day my son.
BLessings and much love Mom

Dont even think again about the villa..well i hope you are fairing on well with God's Grace. was looking through all your friends list and i found two patiences so i picked one black and I hope she the one you wanted to introduce to me.

I am one of Christy's friends in Jesus. I am so glad if I contribute to your growth... we never become too old to grow. I am a "young" old lady who is prepared to sit at a disciples feet to learn... We can never know enough about God and His son - our Redeemer.
I, like you, am passionate about children and babies and I weep to see how sadly they are treated.
Mari (my daughter married to pastor) helps at a baby home for abandoned babies who mostly are HIV infected. Jessica, my 10 year old granddaughter just loves the babies and it is the highlight of her life when they are allowed to keep one for a week or so to relieve the staff and her greatest ambition is to be a MOTHER to a BABY HOUSE when she is grown up. And I just feel that this is what she will do. She is very much like me - compassionate and kind - even though I say so myself. I weep for people in distress and my hand and heart is always open...
Praise God that we worship together for we all serve the same God and have the same Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Fond love to your darling wife and children
