           - A Genuine Spirit of Love -


     I arrived to the Island of Mauritius back in the year of 2013. Meeting people has never been a problem for me. As a matter of fact I am always looking to meet new people while getting to better know the ones that I've previously met.

     I admit that with some people it is 'Extremely' easy to connect with, while with others it does take a little work and maybe even a little (or a lot) of prayer. Alvin was definitely one of the easy ones. From the start, it was an absolute connection of 'Brotherly Love' and instant trust. To which with time did it prove to be of genuine, biblical proportion.

     Alvin was not part of the church group that I was assigned to assist, but rather a childhood friend from two of the members of the group. When I met him for the first time, he happened to be having car trouble. To which I quickly found the issue and corrected it. Of course this only heightened my credibility with him as one who was worth having around. It is a special and unique feeling to 'Be Welcomed', which is why it is so important as Christians to 'Greet one another with a holy kiss'.... Especially in a church setting where someone may be attending church for the first time....








- Romans 16:16 'Greet one another with a holy kiss. The churches of Christ greet you.'

1Corinthians 16:20 'All the brethren greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.'

2Corinthians 13:12 'Greet one another with a holy kiss.'

1Peter 5:14 'Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.'

     I do understand that the 'Kissing Part' is not the literal action for today. However, the 'Genuinelove and affection that comes from a pure heart most certainly was the motivation used which came out of the first Holy Spirit led church. A quality that is still to be applied today. A genuine love and affection which is an unfortunate lost method of church function that I continue to fight for and challenge the church to visit once again.  

     The Living God of the Bible really does have a way of working things out for the good of all that are in line with His perfect providence. Seven years later, as I find myself with the task of getting the business of proper ministry up and running. Incrementing all of its tools of today with 'Social Media'.... My having to learn about Computers and their function has never been my strongest desire. We can all come to a point where we just don't know why 'It's Not Working'.

     I give Alvin a call to see what he can do for me. As he is a computer technician (or something like that).... Alvin comes over to my home and just like that, my computer worked perfectly with nothing to report as a failure....Though he did not have to do anything to my computer. He gave me some great advice on what to do about upgrades to my laptop. We were also able to catch up on where we were with the LORD and it was nice to see a genuine spirit of love in him. I look forward to working with him in the future.

  'From The Inside Out & From The Outside In'

- Here on the Island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. As I am coming up to my 7th Wedding Anniversary- January 29, 2021. I sit back and say, 'What Have I To Show For It ??'....'What Have I Done In Seven Years To Show How Great Is Our God, The Living God Of The Bible ??'....

- It was at this moment that a tear wanted to come from my eye, but was stopped to make room for the realization of the moment....I go to the floor, head bowed down- "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." (James 4:10)....

- Just as The Lord has cleaned me up from The Inside Out, so has He been the one who did and is continuing to do, all the work. I had done nothing but watch for Him to move as I follow behind....

- I was sent to an island where the inhabitants have a different lifestyle than what my 40 years of living in the United States of America have taught me. A different method of operation. A different way of thinking, in order for them to move forward in life....

- The first three years of my planting consisted of the Living God of the Bible at work in establishing my stay, here on the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Having a woman prepared, for me alone. I would be married within 6 months- And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." (Genesis 2:18)....At that moment, by and with permission from the Local Governing Authorities, no one could legally tell me to leave the island. I was here to stay....A child was born to us soon after....

- Along with the challenges of learning about a woman I did not know, who is now my wife. The Lord also brought me to learn about a People I did not know....Though the Mauritian people are a beautiful people, as a whole. I came to see very quickly how those of the church that I was surrounded by, advanced in their way. As I was not used to and much less in favor of the methods used, I stepped away from the group that I had once started with great excitement to come and help. I would spend the next one year searching the Island, looking for greater integrity within the Church. Exhausted from my search, what I did find was the Lord waiting for me to return, and like Martha before me, to sit at His feet....

- As I continued to maintain the method of 'Reading Through The Bible', did I come to a passage of great interest- "Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it."       (1 Chronicles 28:10)

- "Pack Mule for Christ Ministries" ® was launched to assist in my search for those Members of the Body of Christ that would have the Spirit of God lead their way, and not their own hearts- "I say then, walk by The Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of The Flesh." (Galatians 5:16)....It is possible for the Christian, to have The Living God of the Bible lead our lives. It is possible to refuse to follow our own hearts....Listen to my Warning: It is also possible to follow our own heart, only to be deceived into believing the Spirit of God is leading our lives. The Living God of the Bible told the Prophet Ezekiel about this very thing and even told him what the Lord would do about it- "For when anyone from The House of Israel or from the aliens who reside in Israel separates himself from me, setting up idols in his heart and putting his sinful stumbling block in front of himself, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of me, I, the LORD, will answer him myself. I will turn against that one and make him a sign and a proverb; I will cut him off from among my people. Then you will know that I am the LORD." (Ezekiel 14:7-8)....The people of the Lord are led astray by the teachers of the Lord, who themselves have been led astray. Only for the simple reason of following after their own desire, which came from their own hearts, the flesh....

- As I come up to my 7th Wedding Anniversary here on the Island of Mauritius, I look forward to watch the Living God of the Bible use this Ministry to bring those from The Outside In. I look forward to "Helping Others To Carry Their Cross" ® and remain in the Center of God's Will for our Lives....That we would all finish the race with excellence and honor....  

- "As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. Instead, his anointing teaches you about all things and is true and is not a lie; just as it has taught you, remain in him." (1 John 2:27)
