At Pure As Gold Ministries, we want a Spirit, Soul and Body approach.
  • The Spirit- Establish and conduct the Bible School in Busia, Kenya.
  • The Soul- is to train local Kenyans in life skills, such as professions, i.e. carpentry, masonry, etc., and handling finances, starting a simple business, etc.
  • The Body- Meet physical needs, food, clothing, shelter. This will primarily be accomplished through local churches by utilizing resources provided from churches outside of Kenya.

We at Pure As Gold Ministries are determined to be a people of vision, and infusing vision into others.

We are about Kingdom building not Empire building.

Pure As Gold Ministries

God has told the church to "Go and make disciples of all nations...teaching them." (Matt 28:19-20).

This is the church's primary mandate and why I believe we Christians are still here on earth. God loves people and does not want one of them to perish. He has given us everything we need to "Go". It is not something he will make us do though. We have a choice.

Acts 1:8 says we shall be his witnesses locally, regionally and globally. But how can everyone "Go"? We can go by financing others. We can go by praying daily for those who physically go to other nations. We can even go by going on a short-term mission trip.

What an exciting commission. We are all able to go, whether by physically going, by going via prayer and financial support.

We at Pure As Gold Ministries are called to physically"Go", but we need everyone's help to do it. We are the body of Christ, and each one of us has a different part to play in the Great Commission. We are called to help fulfill the church's mission globally.

Our first project will be in a small rural area of Africa called Busia, Kenya. We are called to establish a network of "Training the Trainers."

Would you consider being a part? Individually, we will never fulfill the purpose of the Church. But together, as the Body of Christ, we can. We ask for your help to begin this project. You can read more about the how, when, where, who and why on this website, but we cannot do it without you.

Please consider being a part of discipling the nations. Already, there are over 450 Africans (not just Kenyans- many are from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and other African countries) who desperately need and want training in the Good News that God loves them and that God wants them to "Go" to a dying and hurting world.

It's only together as one body made up of many different parts that we will fulfill the great commission of loving a hurting and dying world.

This is where we are heading to: Busia, Kenya, Africa.

Success!

What a packed but profitable trip. From the day after I arrived in Busia, to the day before I left, I was kept busy teaching and preaching, sometimes 3 times a day. The response was fantastic. 2 ladies were saved, several others were healed instantly- headache which was caused by eye problems, and another who had vision problems received instant healing. Praise God for his goodness!

We had a couple of 2-day discipleship conferences, and four 1-day conferences. We went deep into the interior a.k.a. "the bush." You would be amazed where a 2-wheel drive Toyota sedan can go! But, we were able to go to these remote churches and love and encourage the pastors, some of whom have as little as 10 people in their congregations. What a blessing! They received us warmly, and were so enthusiastic about the teachings.

I taught on several different subjects, such as "Righteousness by Grace", "God's True Prosperity", Spirit, Soul and Body", God's Word is Your Foundation, God's Love- The Key to Unlocking the New Covenant, How to Meditate on God's Word- Psalm 23, The Lord's Prayer, Don't Worry, Put on God's Armor, and more.

I also held a meeting with our Kenyan staff who will be working with us. They are Sabastian, Silas and Vitalis, all whom I have known on all three trips starting in 2006, and have proven themselves to but faithful and trustworthy men of God. I have heard nothing but good reports about them from many people.

Sabastian and I were also able to make many more plans about the Bible school, and we can really see how this is going to work. We have developed strategies on using video curriculum to reach very remote areas.

The majority of people would never be able to attend a traditional Bible School, due to financial, distance and time reasons. However, by going to them, we can make it available to the "front-line pastors" who are doing the work of God, but lack the proper training to teach the God's Word.

I was excited to hear the reports of what Sabastian is doing with the pastors' fellowships in the different areas. He has been like a Father to them, helping them to organize and get into unity. These are pastors from Pentecostal, charismatic, Baptist, Anglican, and nonaffiliated churches. The things that are happening there, would never happen here in the U.S., but God has supernaturally gifted Sabastian to network and bring people together.

To all who helped support us, a BIG thank you! We still have some costs, such as the airline tickets ($1500) and the laptop and Bible software ($700) for Sabastian, so if you could help with that, it would be a great investment into God's Kingdom!

Our Plans:

Our family is believing to move in the Summer of 2009 to Busia, Kenya. We are going to rural areas starting in Busia, where the people are largely forgotten. Busia District would be similar to a US county. There is about 268,000 people there. They have no Bible School.

The Evangelist has gone to Africa. Many Africans have heard of Rhinehart Bonke, or T.L. Osborne and their massive crusades in the 1980's and 90's.

However, the Teacher has not gone, except in some of the larger cities. The Africans in the rural areas have been left to starve spiritually. There are many churches and pastors that are struggling to feed God's people, but the pastors have little to no training. It is like a huge tidal wave that sweeps in and wipes out the old broken down buildings (in a good way), but then flows back out and leaves a mess, because there is no one to rebuild. Hosea 4:6a says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."

We believe that God has given us a 3 part answer in order to meet the district of Busia's needs, at all levels. We want to see the hearts of the people and leaders turned towards God, and so see nations changed.

We are ultimately believing for the whole of the African continent changed. That may seem lofty or too far fetched, but without a vision, we are like a boat on the ocean without a map and rudder. Proverbs 29:18a says, "Where there is no vision, the people perish."

Please pray for us. Pray for our team. Pray for the harvest. Not everyone can "Go", but everyone can help through pray and giving.

Our plans, goals and needs are as follows:

  • Develop our team
  • Raise monthly support for our family ($3,000)
  • Raise monthly support for the project ($2,000)
  • Raise moving support ($37,000)
  • Prepare to move in late summer or early fall 2009
