Jesus is my Lord and Saviour and I wish to glorify His name.

As a Christian who is active on the internet,
I hold myself to certain standards of conduct. These are:

* I guard my online relationships
* I am careful to visit websites that do not compromise my life in Christ
* I take care that my written communications reflect Christ in my life
* I guard my time and ensure that my time online is kept in proper balance with the rest of my life.

I was born in East London South Africa on 16th June 1935 and moved to Fort Victoria Rhodesia in January 1956.

I was Born Again in Umtali Rhodesia in February 1958 in an Assemblies of God congregation and immediately started ministry as a Prophet and Evangelist. Operating in youth work and opening new bible based churches.
In 1970 I pastored a church in Queenstown South Africa after which I returned to Rhodesia pastoring and pioneering churches for the next ten years.
I was also used in the founding of CBMCI and FGBMFI in Rhodesia and represented CBMCI Rhodesia at the first international conference in Korea.
While at this conference I met the Australian representatives of CBMCI and at the request of some of them I moved to Australia at the end of June 1980. Since coming to Australia I have pastored in the Assemblies of God Australia and am currently pastor of a small Assembly in country New South Wales.

MY NEWS
Almost 20 years ago I came close to leaving for home (heaven) and spent two months in intensive care, but was miraculously healed.
I have recently been given opportunity to share the good news on Community Radio in our local area, on two stations.
I want to share my experiences of God's power during my life, through the written and spoken word. It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words but Jesus showed that a word picture (parable) cannot be valued.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
  • Before entering ministry and while pioneering and evangelising in Rhodesia I obtained a diploma in Accountancy in December 1969.During this time I initiated 5 churches and ran a teen church and youth fellowship.

  • I also earned a Diploma in Theological Studies with the Theological College of South Africa December 1970. These studies overlapped my accountancy studies and ministry.

  • Since being in Australia I have also earned an Associate Diploma in Applied Science while recovering from my illness as well as assisting in pastoring an Assembly. This led to my being involved in environmental research in natural waste management for a period.

  • With my varied skills and experience in business and theological circles I was able to set up Adult training programs in India and Bangladesh for a missions organisation, while assisting with a church in Sydney New South Wales.
