Our Ministry

There are many different titles for the jobs within the kingdom: Shephard, Vineyard Attendant, Prophet, Husbandman, Crier, Reaper, Sower, Light Worker, Peace Maker, Herald, Servant (Angel) and many others. We give them titles of Pastor, Minister, Reverend, Father, Rabbi, each one has a special job within the kingdom - each with the respect of the other, each son's and daughters of Gods.

Many voices, one message, some days I will feel like listening to an inspired sermon, other days to experience the peace of heaven.

To hear a firey sermon or experience the gentle praise of a butterfly being born, they are all one under God. Jesus said "If you have done it unto the least of them, you have done it unto me".

If you want to experience life, just don't look for it in one place, look for it in all places.

Amiel: The French Philosopher said about religion: "Religion is not a method, it is a life: a higher and supernatural life, mystical in its roots and practical in its fruit, a communion with God, a calm and deep enthusiasm, a love which radiates, a force which acts, a happiness which overflows".

Consider this when you look at your life, have you a personal relationship with God?

Our Ministry will help you find God in your heart, your mind and soul.

Do you think you have what it takes to be a Minister?

Children's Charities

Each day we celebrate the birth of a child. We plan for this childs life, we see the Child's looks in the face of the father or mother, we wonder will they grow up to be good and worthy of the title of "A Child of God". Genesis 4:9, "Am I my brother's keeper?" We are indeed are our brother's keeper. Like a Father who cares for His Children, we are "One People under God".

Consider this when you look at your life, have you a personal relationship with God? Does that relationship have many people in who you rely or they rely on you, extended family, friends, people who rely on your skills? Or simply just yourself, you need to feed and care for yourself.

Our Ministry will help you find God in your heart, your mind and soul. This can be achieved by giving " And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God". When you act from your own Christ like nature, even He must smile with joy.

Our Ministry will help Children with shelter, food, clothing, education, medical care and joy, giving them the opportunity to enjoy their life to the fullest they can.
