In 1951, as a young boy of five, together with my mother and grandmother, I had the wonderful opportunity of seeing God's prophet at the Durban City Hall and at the Greyville Race Course. But later in years, when I was a deacon in the Full Gospel Church of God in Durban South Africa, my wife and I were among a small group that found copies of two of Brother Branham's books - "An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages" and "The Revelation Of The Seven Seals" - in our church library.
To our astonishment and delight, we came to find that there was a greater Message beyond Pentecost. We promptly and unhesitatingly came out of denominationalism, never to return to the fetters of bondage again, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
In 1989, our Lord undertook for my family and myself to leave Durban for the eastern parts of Southern Africa, where we established ourselves as a family in Christ in the city of Nelspruit. The mid 1990's saw the blossoming of mission outreach in the areas of the Eastern Transvaal Lowveld, Swaziland, and eventually into the Mozambique sub-regions. To this day, my wife - Sister Elmarie, and I as a missionary minister and elder find ourselves fervently working for the Lord amongst more than 420 Message assemblies in this sub-region.
My family and I worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth in Nelspruit itself, together with a small number of very dedicated families. We assemble in cottage meetings, and we love to come together every week to fellowship under the anointed tape Messages left with us by God's 20th-century Gentile prophet. We, as an assembly in Nelspruit, believe EVERY Word in the Bible to be the Truth, and we also believe EVERY Word that was uttered by God's prophet, from 1947 to 1965, to be the Voice of God. We also do not take from the Word or add to the Word. We endeavor to live the Word of God for this hour to the best of our ability, as given to us by God through His prophet, looking forward to the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
My involvement with Voice Of God Recordings started in the mid 1990's, and in 2001, I became the manager of the Nelspruit Office. Today, by the grace of God, the VGR team has worked together to establish hundreds of Christian Message libraries in this part of Southeast Africa, in the English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho, Tsonga, Xhosa, and Portuguese languages.
To our Creator we give all the honor, praise and glory, blessed be His Name.
