God loves, He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without a cheerful, joyous, "prompt to do it" giver whose heart is in his giving. And God is able to make all grace, every favor and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation." (2 Cor 9:7-8)
"For in the Law of Moses it is written, You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the corn. Is it only for oxen that God cares? Or does He speak certainly and entirely for our sakes? Assuredly it is written for our sakes, because the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher ought to thresh in expectation of partaking of the harvest. If we have sown the seed of spiritual good among you, is it too much if we reap from your material benefits? (1 Cor 9:9-11)
"For the service that the ministering of this fund renders does not only fully supply what is lacking to the saints, God's people, but it also overflows in many cries of thanksgiving to God. Because at your standing of the test of this ministry, they will glorify God for your loyalty and obedience to the Gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous-hearted liberality to them and to all the other needy ones." (2 Cor 9:12-13)

Help Restoring the Church of Jesus Christ
Let him who receives instruction in the Word of God share all good things with his teacher, contributing to his support.
SUPPORT US
We commit to serve and help and raise up a new standard of follower of Christ Jesus, and for that we would like you to commit to help carry and make our burden, in terms of financial support, lighter. When people do an excellent service, they expect to be paid for the services rendered. We expect our spiritual leaders to invest in our lives! But excellent mentorship takes time, and time in the sense of the word truly is money.
We are also committed to not sell anything the Lord Jesus has revealed to us for profit, but will make all material, just as we have done the last 12 years, available for free, because Jesus said: “Freely you have received, therefore freely give!”
Paul also makes it very clear, that God is only pleased by a generous giver and do not want people to feel under compulsion to give. He also says people are not obligated to give according to what they do not have, but rather according to what they do have. Jesus was more pleased by the woman who gave two minas than many rich people who gave out of their abundance. God looks at our hearts and our loving, generous giving is a pleasing aroma to God who sees the heart of every man.
All teaching material, DVD’s audio teachings, even books in this ministry will be made available for free to the kingdom of God. Therefore we are dependent on your financial support to carry us, because have resolved not to turn the work of God into a business for profit, as Paul once warned the churches, saying: “We are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.” We would rather go hungry and live below the standard, than using people’s money to advance ourselves for our own sake. And that we have done the last 12 years since God had called us.
Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the wheat. Jesus needs an ox to pull the threshing sledge in order to do His work, separating the chaff from the wheat. But when the ox is muzzled by hands that are clenched and not generous, insensitive to what the Spirit of Jesus Christ is doing in this hour, or even prompting them to do, the ox will not be able to complete His work in preparing spiritual food to give to people at the proper time.
Just like in anything, if we want to accomplish the work that needs to be done it will take time and money. Paul the apostle, who did not make use of his right, wrote most in the New Testament about financial support for those whom God had truly called to commit helping advance His kingdom. It takes time to truly spend time with people and invest in them. The more committed time we spend with others, helping to equip and mature them, showing them the love of God for them, equipping them in their true identity and authority in Christ, the less time we have to do a secular job to provide for our own families’ needs. It takes a generous and even visionary heart to help someone else financially so that they could do the work of the ministry.
Therefore Jesus said: “the labourer is worthy of his wages.” Paul taught, saying: “…the plowman ought to plow in hope, and the thresher ought to thresh in expectation of partaking of the harvest.” Paul explained: “If we have sown [the seed of] spiritual good among you, [is it too] much if we reap from your material benefits? If others share in this rightful claim upon you, do not we [have a still better and greater claim]?” Although Paul did not make use of the rightful claim, he said the minister of the gospel threshes in hope of financially partaking of the gospel.
Paul the apostle said: “Do you not know that those men who are employed in the services of the temple get their food from the temple? And that those who tend the altar share with the altar [in the offerings brought]? [Deu. 18:1] 14 [On the same principle] the Lord directed that those who publish the good news (the Gospel) should live (get their maintenance) by the Gospel.”
How can I Support you?
Jesus made a promise, which still stands for those who gives from the heart to those who serve God, saying: "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward." Jesus said this so that He could reward us, when we would always give support to Him personally by serving and supporting those whom He sends to us.
God made an awesome promise to His friend Abraham, saying: “I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you]…” God had made Abraham a blessing so that He was a blessing to all those around Him who blessed him. Later Paul speaks of the blessing of Abraham saying: “14 To the end that through their receiving Christ Jesus, the blessing promised to Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, so that we through faith might all receive the realization of the promise of the Holy Spirit."
May God bless those who are sensitive and obedient to the Spirit of God, being generous to give to the support of the work He has called us to do. As the apostle Paul promised the cheerful, joyous giver:
“And God is able to make all grace, every favor and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation. As it is written: "He, the benevolent person, scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever!" And God Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your resources for sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness, which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity. Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and [your generosity as it is] administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God.” (2Cor 9:8-11 Ampl)
When we bless others God make us blessing to others, showing His love through our giving and support. You can support us in the following ways:
Prayer Support
The Word of God says the prayer of the uncompromisingly righteous has great power. The apostle James commands all believers to pray for one another because the prayer of faith is powerful. Paul simply says to the church in Thessalonica: “Brothers, pray for us!” Prayer forms a shield of protection around those for whom we pray. Paul even mentions how Epaphras wrestled in prayer for all the churches of Jesus Christ.
We would really appreciate your continual prayer for:
-
This ministry so that it would be an excellent representative of Christ Jesus, His character and nature and of His Church
-
That we may be a blessing that always freely can bless others
-
Pray for open doors so that through the Spirit of Jesus Christ we may touch the world around us and the Church of Jesus Christ
-
Pray that we may always live and demonstrate the kingdom of Light and life to a dying and corrupt world
-
Pray that more people will catch the same vision Jesus had for His people and His Church
-
Pray that we may effectively equip all believers to do what Jesus had done
-
Pray for open hands of love that can give financially to help advance the kingdom of God through this ministry
-
Pray for many new leaders to be raised up, equipped, trained and sent out into the harvest field
Financial Support
Thanksgiving is a natural outflow of the heart when we appreciate something that is dear to us. The apostle Paul said that it was not that he wanted or needed support, but rather that he was eager that they will have an account open in heaven before God for their willing financial support. He goes even further to say that to God, who accept not according to what we do not have, but according to what we willingly want to give, our gift of support and contribution as a “…fragrant odor of an offering and sacrifice, which God welcomes and in which He delights.” (Php 4:15-19)
We want you to prayerfully consider to commit in helping to financially carry the burden of spreading the gospel and equipping the Church of Jesus Christ through this ministry. You can give once off or become a partner with us in proclaiming the goodnews of the love of God to all mankind. See the top of the page for our banking details. God bless.

Partnership Support
When you partner with this ministry, specifically called to help restore the church of Jesus Christ to its original relationship, purpose and power in Christ Jesus, opening a debit and credit account financially supporting this ministry, God will also bless you: “19 And my God will liberally supply, fill to the full your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory forever and ever, through the endless eternities of the eternities. Amen, so be it.” (Php 4:19-20 Ampl)
God had made us co-heir with Christ and heir of all the promises in Christ Jesus. God made us total partners to share in everything He was pleased to give to His only begotten Son. God held nothing back: “He who did not withhold or spare even His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all other things?" (Rom 8:32) God calls us into partnership with Him, who has already given us all things.
God, through the Holy Spirit, spoke to us and confirmed that He desired many people to come into partnership with us as we do His work, in order to help lift the financial burden upon us and so advance the gospel of Life in Christ Jesus.
This He confirmed by the words of the apostle Paul, saying: 15 And you Philippians yourselves well know that in the early days of the Gospel ministry, when I left Macedonia, no church or assembly entered into partnership with me and opened up a debit and credit account in giving and receiving except you only.” (Php 4:15 Ampl) Paul is not only saying a debit account, but also opened a credit account of giving. Thus by giving they could also expect receiving from him.
By partnering with us you can also expect receiving freely from us all that we have to give spiritually from God our Father, through His Son.
When God called me many years ago, to leave my job, saying: “Be strong and courageous, and do it. Fear not, be not dismayed, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail or forsake you until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord…” (1 Chron 28:20 Ampl) 12 Years ago, 4 months before I became 37 years old, God, through prophetic word, showed favour to me, promising us, speaking kindly to me, ranking me above the kings and called me to come and dine regularly at His table for the remainder of our lives, giving us our “…allowance, a continual one…”, “…every day a portion, for the rest of our lives…” (2 Kings 25:27-30) At that time I would never have known what an effect the pressure of finances would have had upon our family and my commitment to finish the work to the house of the Lord. I truly needed to be strong and courageous and not to fear. Little did I know that I would also become dependent on what people bless us with, although God had promised He would support us the rest of our lives through a regular allowance. This shows the words of Jesus, I was hungry and you did not feed Me so clearly. Those who bless someone in ministry must realize that they do not support them and their family, by they actually feed and support Jesus! Jesus once said the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. I want to add, the workers are even fewer and ineffective, because they are not financially supported to help doing the work.
We want to ask that you also would help carry this burden and dream to see the church of Jesus Christ restored to is orginal intent, of which Jesus Christ is the only head since the beginning. Therefore we bless you with the same prayer the apostle Paul blessed the church of Jesus Christ in Ephesus with:
For this reason seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ, I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name:
May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the Holy Spirit, Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality. May Christ through your faith actually dwell, settle down, abide, make His permanent home in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints, God's devoted people, the experience of that love, what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it; that you may really come to know practically, through experience for yourselves the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge without experience; that you may be filled through all your being unto all the fullness of God. May have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself!
Now to Him Who, by and in consequence of the action of His power that is at work within us, is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams.
To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen, so be it. (Eph 3:14-21 Ampl)
Greetings and love in Christ Jesus,
