About
Childhood
I spent the first eight years of my life on a family estate just outside Ashton (South Africa) - consisting of three farms, namely: Stockwell, Karpad and Waterfall. Moving from here with my mother, father and younger brother to, first, Ashton and later, Robertson.
My father, Marius, originally a farmer, now worked for the South African Commandos as a Sergeant. My mother, Rosemary, as a private nurse.
I attended Ashton Primary School (till the age of nine), after which I relocated to Robertson Secondary, finishing grade 7. I also, for a brief moment, attended Higher Technical School Drostdy (HTS) in Worcester. In 1991, however, I returned to Robertson High School, where I would eventually matriculate. It was also here, that my faith first appeared.
Life was full of questions. Some trivial, some serious; and some tremendously important. And it was these questions that drove me to search for answers (like anyone else). Where did we come from? Did we evolve or were we created? Is there a God? And if so, Who? Where am I heading? And for what purpose?
First it was philosophy, then psychology, and finally world religions that occupied my time. The days came and went. Weeks and months passed. All without any, real and lasting, answers. Finally, on Saturday, November 6th, 1993 I had a personal encounter with God which (almost like Spurgeon's) "left my heart strangely warmed".
Education
Ever since my conversion, I earned my B.Th (Bachelor of Arts in Bible and Theology) from Miracle Bible College (formerly, Life of Christ Bible Institute) - the official Training Center of Harvester International Ministries (H.I.M.).
Due to a deep-seated interest in various systems of belief, my most recent accolades include certificates and diplomas from Tygerberg Bible School (The Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa), the Correspondence Bible School (7th-Day Adventists), Lutheran Hour (The Lutheran Church), Bible Way Correspondence School (Baptists), the Tripp Bible Institute, and a Master Course from the International Bible School of Fort Worth, Texas. Yet,
"I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,..." (Ph. 3v8, KJV, p.821)
I am currently pursuing further theological studies through The Seekers Mailbox Club; Rogma International, Inc. (under the auspices of Pastor Frederic A. Carlson [02150]); the Australian Christadelphian Correspondence School (The Christadelphians); the Tripp Bible Institute (under the auspices of Dr. Gilbert Tripp, C.Ed.D., Th.D.); the Net Bible Institute; The Prophetic Voice Institute (An outreach of Gospel Truth Ministries); The Institute for Christian Works (Mount Vernon [USA]); Pillar of Truth Ministries; Truth for The World; the Bible Way Correspondence School (22648), and Sozo Bible Institute (Sozo Ministries, Inc).
"Unteach me all the errors I have learnt In earthly schools; forgive self-will and pride. I would unlearn all falsehood, learn the truth, And with Thy truth alone be satisfied."
Experience
I previously ministered with The Door (a member of Wayman O. Mitchell's Christian Fellowship Churches) in Paarl (South Africa). After witnessing irregularities, I broke away, joining Living Waters Ministries (a former outreach of Philadelphia Christian Church in Robertson, South Africa) as Labor Evangelist.
In 2001, after completing an "apostolic-charismatic" Bachelor of Arts (B.Th) at Miracle Bible College, I launched my very own Wholesale Company, previously known as Real$ave Wholesalers, a registered Close Corporation formerly situated in Kraaifontein.
After leaving the wholesale business, during the same year, I moved to Sandbaai (near Hermanus) working as Continuity Presenter for Radio 7 FM, broadcasting on 88.8 and 87.7 FM. [1] I left Radio 7 at the end of October the same year; again resigning due to irregularities.
For more than a year I worked as Workshop Manager for Launch Out PC, a local computer retailer, after which I partnered with Soho Systems (an Information Technology Firm, owned and operated by my brother).
Activities
I currently functions as a Strategic Intervention Specialist (i.e. Thought Reform Consultant), Author, Conference Speaker, Exceptional Performance Educator, Christian minister, and "cult-snatcher". I'm also a recognized freelance writer for a number of Christian magazines (including, but not limited to The Informer), as well as various Newsletters, and Internet-based News Agencies. I also function as an Evangelist, evangelizing people of other faiths, beginning with the Jews and nominal (non-evangelical) Christians, such as Roman Catholics and liberal Protestants.
I represent the Current Reformational Movement (CRM) - standing against serious doctrinal error where it threatens the credibility of the Gospel or undermines the authority of Scripture. This will be particularly true concerning areas likely to prove detrimental to Authentic Christianity - such as Dispensationalism, Prospertity Doctrine ("Name-It-Claim-It-Frame-It"), Speak-Into-Being, and other such forms of deception.
Influence
This ministry currently attracts the attention of former Jehovah's Witnesses [2], 7th-Day Adventists, Dutch Reformed, Baptists, CFCs, Roman Catholics, Charismatics and Pentecostals.
I am also pastoring an ever-increasing number of fellowships in the Western Cape.
If asked to describe myself, I'd have to say "I'm an iconoclast" - a breaker of stereotypical beliefs and customs (which does not conform to Biblical Revelation).
In resisting The Established Church, I heartily agree with Paschal Baute, that the "Church is only one of the messes we've made out of Jesus". [3]
My primary concern is the Current Reformation of the Church universal, thus the call to - "Pray for Revival! And Work for Reform!" My current perception of the Church at large is expressed best within the prophet Isaiah, chapter 42 verse 22;
"But this is a people robbed and plundered, all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses, they are prey for the vultures, and no-one says Restore!"
Activism
Though easily mistaken as a nihilist (one who rejects all forms of government) I resist, and actively work against, certain departments of the United Nations; the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), as well as the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). [4] I also fervently opposes the World Bank.
As both writer and speaker I suffer from an incurable ailment ... an insatiable appetite for justice! My works are distributed FREE OF CHARGE to individuals at Churches, Missionary Societies, National- and International Intelligence Agencies, Police Departments, Radio Stations, and private researchers:- "for only when free men write and speak truth will the exercise of arbitrary power be exposed and opposed." Otherwise how are the people, especially of our land, to escape the hellish traps set for them and baited with religious morsels, unless they can both, see in cold print, or hear in burning words?
