I HAVE THE DESIRE TO REACH OUT TO MEN IN MY COMMNITY. I INITIATED THE MEN'S MINISTRY AT THE OPEN CHURCH IN MERRIWA, PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA AND NOW WANT TO GO DEEPER AND REACH FURTHER. WHO KNOWS WHAT GOD HAS IN MIND ;)
I AM 76 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO DOLORES FOR 30 YEARS, HAVE 1 SON AND 2 STEPDAUGHTERS AND 2 STEPSONS, ALL ARE MARRIED. WE HAVE 12 GRANDCHILDREN BETWEEN US. I HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SON AND HIS FAMILY, WITH MY 2 STEPDAUGHTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND CORDIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY 2 STEPSONS WHICH I AM PRAYING FOR GOD TO REDEEM. I HAD WOUNDS WHICH HAVE BEEN HEALED BUT I DAMAGED MY STEPSONS AND NOW NEED TO REACH THEM.
I READ THE BOOK HEART OF A WARRIOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO, HAVE DONE MANY OF THE ZOWEH DEVOTIONALS ON YOUVERSION, HAVE DOWNLOADED SOME OF THE FREE STUFF. LAST YEAR ATTENDED THE HEART OF A WARRIOR EASTERN CIRCLE AND HAVE SIGNED UP TO DO FATHER MATTERS IN THE EASTERN CIRCLE FROM JANUARY TO APRIL 2026.
THE MAN ON THE MIDDLE CROSS INVITED ME AND I GOT BORN AGAIN AT RHEMA JOHANNESBURG IN 1992, WENT TO RHEMA BIBLE TRAINING CENTER IN 1993, 1994 AMD GRADUATED. GOT WATER BAPTISED AND HOLY SPIRIT FIRE BAPTISED THAT YEAR. WROTE A COURSE - TOTALLY WHOLE IN CHRIST IN 1995 AND PRESENTED IT AT WEEKEND RETREATS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. EMIGRATED TO AUSTRALIA IN 2007 AND HAVE ATTENDED 10 CHURCHES IN THE LAST 20 YEARS. I AM NOW AT THE OPEN CHURCH AND INTEND TO STAY THERE.
SINCE SEPTEMBER 2024 I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH MEN'S MINISTRY AT THE OPEN CHURCH AND HAVE FOCUSSED ON BEING VULNERABLE SO THAT OTHERS CAN FEEL SAFE. I WALK ALONGSIDE MEN ON A ONE ON ONE BASIS AND AM CURRENTLY ENCOURAGING A YOUNG MAN WHO I LED TO CHRIST BEFORE HE WENT TO PRISON. I SEND HIM MY EXCERPTS FROM THE HEART OF A WARRIOR NOW THAT HE IS IN PRISON ;)
OKAY, WOUNDS ARE THE TIMES WHEN I HAVE BEEN WOUNDED BY AUTHORTY FIGURES WHO SHOULD HAVE NURTURED ME. THOSE WOUNDS IF UNTREATED DO SUBMERSIVE WORK IN MY LIFE UNTIL THEY ARE HEALED BY JESUS. VOWS ARE THINGS I SPOKE OVER MYSELF SUCH AS, I WILL NEVER TREAT MY CHILDREN LIKE MY FATHER TREATED ME (AND THEN ID DID THE SAME THING). AGREEMENTS ARE THOSE TIMES I HAVE AGREED WITH THE WHISPERS THAT TELL ME I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH. THE LYING VOICE OF THE ENEMY AND OF MY FALSE-SELF.
I WAS ABOUT 16 YEARS OLD WHEN I BROUGHT A YOUNG GIRL HOME FOR DINNER WITH MY FAMILY; FATHER, MOTHER AND 2 YOUNGER BROTHERS. DURING THE COURSE OF THE MEAL I SAID WHATEVER OFFENDED MY FATHER AND HE THREW HIS KNIFE AT ME. I TOOK THE YOUNG LADY HOME AND NEVER SAW HER AGAIN.
PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF MY FAMILY, PRAYING FOR THE BLESSING OF THE CHURCH I ATTEND, PRAYING FOR REVIVAL IN OUR CITY, PRAYING FOR THE SCHOOLS MY GRANDCHILDREN ATTEND, PRAYING FOR OUR GOVERNMENT, PRAYING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO PREVAIL IN MY COUNTRY - ON A DAILY BASIS.
SIMILAR TO THE SWORD OF ARAGON STORY - I ASKED TO SHOW ME THAT HE LOVED ME. i ASKED HIM FOR A PAIR OF TYPICAL SOUTH AFRICAN SHOES - VELDSKOENS - WHICH IN AUSTRALIA IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. A SHORT WHILE LATER I WAS SHOPPING WITH MY WIFE IN K-MART WHEN AT THE END OF THE RACK THERE WAS ABOUT 30 PAIRS OF BLACK SHOES AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RACK, ABOUT WAIST HIGH, WAS A PAIR OF WHAT LOOKED ALMOST LIKE VELDSHOENS. BEIGE, WHEN I LOOKED, MY SIZE, AND THEY HAD BEEN MARKED DOWN TO A FEW DOLLARS. I BOUGHT THEM AND WEAR THEM AS MY CONFIRMATION THAT GOD CARES ABOUT THE DETAILS OF MY LIFE.
SO MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE COUNSELLED MEN TO ENCOURAGE FREEDOM FROM PORNOGRAPHY, ADDICTIONS, BEING SPIRITUALLY LOST, TAKING THEM THROUGH THE RECOVERY FROM EMOTIONAL TRAUMA. MY WIFE AND I ALSO DO COUPLES COUNSELLING FOR BLENDED FAMILIES, SINGLE MOTHER FAMILIES.
