Hope For Our Youth:4 New Youth Business Owners Empowered through Dare 2 Be Different Mission Mobilization Project

4 New Youth Business Owners Empowered through Dare 2 Be Different Mission Mobilization Project

"I am proud of your hardwork, your determination and continuous efforts to NEVER  GIVE  UP  ON  YOUR  DREAM of using your talents to make your own dollar. Thank you for taking advantage of yet another creative effort of our ministry, to empower our youths.

 Dare 2 Be Different Int'l is proud that you have made it this far. You are actually officially launching your businesses tomorrow." Those were the words of Dare 2 Be Different Int'l President, Khrystus Wallace on Thursday, 19th April, 2012 as he officially prayed and launched 4 Dare 2 Be Different Mission Mobilization (http://www.mmskn.org/) participants into the world of business.

The team was working together to do final touches on each of their businesses and remained totally excited that they had reached this far. "Work together! Stay together! Let us as Black Youth change the perception that exists. Black People can work as a team and can accomplish great things."

Wallace plans to use his business successes and failures to guide participants under his Mission Mobilization project. He stated that he wants young people to get the EXTRA help and guidance that he never got from organizations who boast and claim they are there to help young businesses. Certainly Far fromt he truth.  Wallace stated that he had to learn the hard way and doesn't want them to experience  his business mistakes at all, but cling to his triumphs.

Dare 2 Be Different Mission Mobilization Presents:

22 Year Old Joy "Lady Smilez" Codrington, who just two weeks ago had the privilege of taking over The Print Shop Franchise at KVK ENTERPRISES, used her god-given wisdom to open a store front business at Five Way, Central Street, Basseterre, St. Kitts. A smiling Codrington said, "in business, you have to be smart. I wanted my clothing business to move from my home and I also wanted KVK to have a presence in town again since I took over The Print Shop. Since I am at the head of the two busineses, I went searching and God provided just the right spot."

 

Codrington therefore opened her store called TAGDOWN SKN. It will be an agent for The KVK Print Shop and would allow customers to get instant prints in Basseterre again. Codrington plans to make some extra dollars braiding and styling hair on a small scale which is what she has been doing since she was 9 years old. Customers can have a glimpse of her Mission Mobilization Sponsored Webpage at http://www.tagdownskn.com/

Curtis Mulley, another Mission Mobilization participant and a professional artist by profession, joined the program to gain marketing exposure. Dare 2 Be Different Int'l was able to sponsor Mulley's website and help him establish a name for his business which is The Art Depot. http://www.theartdepotskn.com/. Since his start, Mulley has been getting more jobs to paint Murals on stores and Larger Businesss have been buying his Canvas paintings as gifts. It is Dare 2 Be Different's HOPE to assist Mulley in opening his own Art Gallery in the future as God provides the Capital.

See Mulley's picture on his webpage 

Dare 2 Be Different Int'l Mission Mobilization, a gospel based Non Profit Organization certainly didn't discrimate when Joseph "Ilas" Butler, a Rastafarian, wanted to join the program to put some sort of structure to his many skills.

Mission Mobilization helped Butler form HANDYMAN  SERVICES, which provides carpentry, masonary services to clients interested in getting smaller quick jobs done at a reasonable price. A smiling Butler, who at the time was cutting board for Joy's TAGDOWN store said, "This thing is good man. All I wanted was a GODFATHER - Someone to help me organize myself."

Wallace was keenly interested in his final Mission Mobilization Client, 11 year old Cavetha Yearwood of The Bronte Welsh Primary School, Baseterre, St. Kitts. This little girl remained helpful around http://www.kvkenterprises.com/ and could be called on to do help at anytime. Little Ms.Yearwood is now the proud owner of The SnackBox - a little business that would sell snacks to her friends and family in the community. Wallace plans to take her hand in hand because he remembered venturing into the world of business at age 11 too.

He hopes, that she would see this start given to her as something with great possibilities for her future. The team cheered when they learned that The SnackBox owner was already making her own money during the Easter Season and learning how to calculate profit and loss.

Each Mission Mobilization participant wins a Free Webpage at the end their training and guidance and Wallace goes on to start with new batches.

In closing, Wallace said, "This is how you turn a Global Economy in Crisis around, by empowering the young people to use their skills and make their own money in their own businesses because Small Business Enterprise contributes significantly to the growth and development of any economoy"

Wallace hopes that the government, private sector and/or accredited investors would see Dare 2 Be Different's efforts and chip in and help his Mission Mobilization Project both financially and with materials. Dare 2 Be Different raises its own funds to carry out many of the projects and activities it conducts. A simple way persons can support is by Emailing: information@kwforchrist.com to order a Dare 2 Be Different Shirt  - Adults - US$11.04  - Children - US$7.36

Wallace took the time out to recommend the four business owners to his international clientele and hoped that someone would see their simple ambition and probably partner with them or sponsor them materials or products at the start of their business.

Wallace's dream is to attract an international funding companies / accredited individuals that would be fully dedicated to offering outside the box alternatives to Youth Entrepreneurs across the Federation, Regional and the World who are apart of his Dare 2 Be Different Mission Mobilization Network.

Don't Let Another Wounded Soldier Die

Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. (Deuteronmy 28:31  KJV)

How much more must die or give up on life while we merely look on?

Friend, I just rolled out of bed from having my morning devotions with tears coming down my eyes. I am burdened. I really can't tell the last day that tears fell from my eyes, but they did this morning.

It's just the middle of the week today and my appointment list is filled with clients. There is also a waiting list from weeks before. I try to recommend them to other ministers or Godly people, but they all want to talk to me.

These clients don't want help starting a business through my consulting firm, http://www.kwconsultingskn.com/, but rather they are hurting individuals, young and old from different cultures and from around the world. I have to chat with some on my Whatsapp, or call on my US or local line, some are requesting personal visits. Note, no visit or talk takes five minutes or less because people are hurting and want to talk, need advice, empowerment, assurance and salvation.

One of my constant listeners to my Saturday morning Youth Rap program on Dominion Radio 91.5FM was adamant that we meet. The person had tried to get an appointment with me for several weeks. So, the other day, while going through the list, my mom told me to go on that particular day and not forget. To tell the truth, during that week, I was extremely busy embroidering and screenprinting shirts and sweaters. I did go though.

When I pulled up and called, the person seemed to recognize my voice and seemed quite shocked that her radio friend really came to see her. She broke down in tears and went back inside a bit to get a hold of herself. She could have been my grandmother. I wondered what she was actually doing listening to my program as I always get bashed by my mom for not playing music for the older folks.

She said, "Young man, your words keep me going. I wish you were on radio everyday. Since you aren't, I wait patiently to hear your hope devotionals once per week. I don't have internet like others. I don't know how to use a computer and I don't have anyone to read from your website, but I want you to know that I was SECONDS away from committing SUICIDE when I found your program on radio."

I was humbled and amazed. I also thought about the many people who recieve this devotionals and don't even pass them along to help someone else. She continued. "To see a busy little boy like you show up at my gate to talk, means the world to me. I have sons older than you. It's been years I haven't gone to church. No one remembers me like you have today"

I felt a bit ashamed inside, because had my mom not told me to go that day, she would have been probably overlooked like many other appointments I never get to fill. God had used me to save another life again.

Friend, why do we continue to let wounded soldiers die, as we selfishly remain in the backseat of life doing nothing? I have to talk with my pastor soonest because I vow from today, to do things differently. I vow not only to reach the world with technology alone, but I vow to take church to the ghetto and to the shut-ins even on a Sunday when, according to "proper church ethics," I'm suppose to be in the FOUR WALLS of a CHURCH. I can't do that all the time anymore - forgive me. I vow to help prevent another wounded soldier from dying by just being different.

While we go to church weekly, and ensure that we are always apart of the midweek service and then spend the rest of our time at home behind the computer and in front of the television, our young people are killing themselves and older ones live confused. Many of them just need a word of HOPE that would help to re-direct their path.

We stand in the hot sun hosting bake sales and dinners to raise money for events and to build churches and to travel for camps while our members and villagers lay sick on hospital beds or hungry at home or burdened due to financial problems and we smile to the world like all is well with everyone. When last have you told your unsaved friend or co-worker about Christ? You're probably reading this and you don't know Jesus. When last has someone personally told you about turning your life over to Jesus? And they smile and laugh with you everyday right?

I think I'll be called the ghetto preacher from today. I know that other fellow church ministers may say that I want to have my own way from today. (They did say that when I founded Dare 2 Be Different Int'l in 2008 - look at what God has been doing with our ministry).

I will be ridiculed because of my charasmatic and down to earth way of carrying the gospel. I'll be called a 'poppyshow,' when I drop the Jacket and Tie and dress differently to get a message across. That's OK - I refuse to be named among the crowd that continues to sit around and watch wounded soldiers die. Care to join me?

Haven't you noticed? While we sit by, Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, (Our young people are being killed before our eyes) and thou shalt not eat thereof: (Our people of value are going to the enemy and we are not getting to see their fruits) thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, (Precious lives are being lost to discouragement and confusion and depression and suicide) and shall not be restored to thee: (Many who are turning away from God are not coming back )thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them (As the unsaved grow deeper into sin, their hearts have become harder and we, as christians remain on the sidelines, watching on and not doing anything to save a wounded soldier) . (Deuteronomy 28:31  KJV)


Friend - I hope you feel my burden - Please - Please - in what ever way you can, how ever you can evangelize or encourage, don't remain unconcerned - Join with Dare 2 Be Different as we spread the good news of hope and salvation, on foot and via technology - DON'T  LET  ANOTHER  WOUNDED  SOLDIER  DIE!

Before I close, I want to share with you a quick word that God has been repeating in my spirit. He has told me that if we take care of HIS BUSINESS, He'll take care of ours. That's the simple formula to reach your destiny!


Hope is Ahead!

God's Company is Great Company

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. (Psalm 27:4  KJV)

I have been hurt, disappointed and let down many times. It is God's company that keeps me standing and keeps me going.

I am sure that you may agree with me that people have very strange tendencies. They change on you suddenly and instantly. It happens so fast at times and sometimes leaves you totally shocked. I know just what you mean and how you feel. I have gone through so many shocking experiences with people in life, that they don't shock me any more. So, if you're my best friend or girl friend today and my deepest enemy tomorrow, that's ok - I understand.

If I employed you and gave you and your family bread today and then when you get another job tomorrow, you tell everyone that I was the worst person on the face of the earth. It's ok! Been there! Done that! Employees have done that to me too. People did it to Jesus too. Family did it to Joseph - REMEMBER?

I remember having close church friends who would pray with me, pray for me, share experiences to empower me and encourage me and I would do likewise. One day, out of the blue, all communication suddenly stopped. The persons stopped answering my calls and texts. I wondered what I had done.

This has happened to me many times through out my life, so I had developed a whole lot and it didn't hurt that much this time. I had read through the Bible that the best way to deal with situations, is to forgive even though you don't know the problem and you may not be in the wrong. So I heeded Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

I always like to ask forgiveness of people who take off their mouth speech and break communication with me. For two reasons. 1. To let them know that I know what they are doing and  2.To clear my conscience. So I am always quick to say it, or text it or email it, "I notice that there seems to be a breakdown in our relationship. If I have wronged you in any way, I ask for your forgiveness."

After my conscience is cleared, I DO  NOT  WORRY. You shouldn't either!

Many times, good  relationships that end suddenly like that are not restored fully even with much effort. Have you noticed?

Friends come and go. Family members disappoint and foes do what foes do, constantly try to pull down, talk badly about you and try to tear your name apart EVERYDAY. There is one thing I know for sure about God though. When we enter into a relationship with Him, he's ALWAYS  GREAT  COMPANY.

He is a friend that will be with you through good times and bad. When we disappoint him, know for sure that he will chastise us to make us better, but won't stop talking with us just like others do. He will bless us once we keep honouring him and staying obedient.

God is definitely great company indeed. I can go on and on and on. There is one thing I must say here though, throughout my many experiences with people who just dropped me like that, who stopped talking to me for no apparent reason, who just turned on me and tried to pull down my name, God has always been there for me - fought for me - caused me to come out triumphantly - EVERY TIME.

How can I now afford to fall out of fellowship with him or stop writing and travelling from church to church preaching around the world and being DIFFERENT to many others preachers. How can I stop daring to be different and reaching the unreached? How can I afford to stop beholding God's beauty and checking in at his temple?

Once you stay in company with God, although your afflictions will be many as a righteous person, God will deliver you out of them all. (Psalm 34:19)

Stay in company with God and let Psalm 27:4 be your focus verse, One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

Don't worry about friends, family members and church folk that turn enemies, let those situations make you stronger.

Hope is Ahead! Don't give up!

Becareful With How You Treat People Now

And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;  And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. Genesis 37:23-24 KJV) 

And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck. Genesis 41:42  KJV

Becareful with how you treat people now because you may just happen to need them in the future! FACT!!!!!!!

He said, "Young man, I found you on the internet. I wanted to view a church service somewhere from the comfort of my home and I found your Internet Church - The Victory Centre - http://www.thevictorycentre.com/ . WoW - That is truly innovation. Your brother plays well. I was blessed!"

I smiled and the gentleman continued. "You're a very wise guy - you know that right? You must be reaching people all around the world, especially with your http://www.hopeisahead.com/ ministry website and http://www.d2bdifferent.com/.  Great work! I bought one of your books online already. I have to keep those devotionals with me all the time."

He continued, "Each person who reaches your network, helps to grow it expansely because word of mouth and technology are a great combination. Your wisdom certainly came from God. Once someone finds you one place on the internet, they'll instantly find out everything you do. That's how I found out that you can help me. I'm happy to meet you."

The gentleman wanted to use my Consulting Service at http://www.kwconsultingskn.com/ to purchase a business idea, along with a business plan and allow me to use my access to technology to market the start of his business. When he had contacted me via my website, he wanted to purchase a business idea that was unique and carried a different approach.

After meeting him shortly after landing in St. Kitts, we sat to discusss the document and my proposal. He said, "Young man, you're amazing. You did this? How old are you? How can you just think of workable ideas like that, lay out such a spectacular plan with startup capital and projections like it's a piece of cake. My money has been sitting on banks in fixed deposits making 4% -6% per annum for years. I wish I met you sooner."

I smiled and he said, "Can I take you with me?" I chuckled a bit. He said, "No, I'm serious. Your country would never know what they had until they lose you."

The gentleman continued. "You know sir, I'm a believer too and I see alot of potential in you. Just like Joseph, you're going to go through some trying times before you reach the top. You will go through some serious struggles. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. Before I reached where I am today, I had hells getting there. NEVER  GIVE  UP."

The gentleman continued. "I was around 25 years old when I wanted to get a loan from the bank I banked with all my life. I had a business idea of opening a grocery shop in my state. They saw the money I was making from my salary, they saw I was saving and they declined my application. I immediately removed all my money from that bank and tried somewhere else. I was approved after my 3rd or 4th try at other institutions. They kept saying that the bigger groceries wouldn't let me survive. I had a different idea and approach and I NEVER GAVE UP until I got an investment from someone who believed in my dream.

After ten years of runnning it, I was able to buy four properties and put them up for rent, sell my grocery store and just cruise through the rest of my life."

I opened my eyes and was awed as I thought about my http://www.theinternetgrocery.com/ idea and how clients were rapidly starting to use this service.

He continued, "Don't act surprised. I don't have 1% of the brains that you have. You have ideas! You're a quick thinker. You do all these amazing things with technology yourself. You don't have to pay anyone to help you. Do you know what a company would have to pay to get this type of technology into their business? Do you know what advertisers would pay to get their product/service advertised on your network?

That is Wealth at your finger tips if you use it wisely. Never give up! You'll reach very far. Every trial and circumstance that you are going through or may go through, thank God for it because you're YOUNG. You'll know how to handle the future."

He started prophesying some things over my life. "You know what, we all have to becareful with how we treat people in life because you don't know where they'll end up. You to! Treat people well all the time. Mark my words, even make a journal. Many of those people who say bad things about you or call down your company now and not try to build up and encourage, they'll need you in the future."

"With your outside the box thinking, I can see that in the near future, with all your ideas, you'll be one of the biggest employers in your Federation. You'll help dozens of young people start businesses with a technology focus. You may probably open KVK  FINANCIAL and bring 2% - 3% loans to the table just because I feel your passion when I visit http://www.mmskn.org/  . You just want to help. Your energy and enthusiasm will draw accredited investors from all across the globe. You probably won't need a banker again.

"Wallace, you know what amazes me? It's just how you can stay by your PC or use your blackberry and stay connected. You help clients sell things. You help clients source better prices for any and everything and you ship through your own shipping service http://www.shopandshipskn.com/ with very little overheads. You truly have God's wisdom."

"You'll grow St. Kitts - Nevis alot!" He laughed and continued, "That's if someone doesn't steal you or buy you out before. It may just be me."

"Many people don't see the potential in people until they get to the top. Remember Joseph? He was hated for his dreams and had to suffer alot. He never lost his faith in God and he reached the top. Do you see how his situation changed in Genesis 41:42?"

"Mr. Khrystus Wallace, DON'T  GIVE  UP during these tough times, for someday, you'll receive just what Joseph received - his Miraculous Breakthrough. I'll tell all my colleagues about you and grow your network again. Never forget the small people who helped you, who invested, who stuck with you during rough times and didn't go elsewhere. Jot them down now and bless them in the future."

Friend, those words gave me another boost and more encouragement to NEVER  GIVE  UP. May I encourage you to treat everyone around you WELL now, because you just may not know where they'll reach in the future.

That child you may be abusing now School Teacher, he/she may be the one who has to cut you down on the operating table. That new entrepreneur that you simply rejected BANKER, you may just happen to need a job at his/her firm in the future when you're fired and still have obligations to meet. The worker that you don't treat well supervisor or bossman/lady, you would probably wish they sing a song for you while doing hospital visits when you're laying in a medical centre somewhere. Husbands and wives, treat each other WELL  NOW.

Friend, even when people treat you bad, still do good. The Bible says in Proverbs 25:22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

Let's change our mindset from today. Let's becareful with how we treat people now. I need you, you need me. With a new mentality like this, our world would be a much better place.

HOPE  IS  AHEAD - NEVER  GIVE  UP!

The Return of My Prodigal Father

For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ( Luke 15:24 KJV)

Daddy has come home!

From the very onset, permit me to wish my worldwide audience - Happy Easter 2012. Since Good Friday, I've been seeking God on what I should write about at this particular Resurrection Celebration time. He didn't respond until the wee hours of this morning - Saturday 7th. April. God told me to share about my current family situation because it will create a stir and enact change when it is heard and read from this day forth.

You see friend, it's always nice to read about forgiveness in the Bible and also to hear about many of the great stories penned in that God inspired book. What means so much more to me though, is when I live through certain experiences for myself.

There is always much talk about how God died on the cross and forgave us of our sins every Easter. Pulpit ministers and teachers usually use this time to also enforce the importance of forgiveness too. As human beings, forgiveness is usually easy to say but hard to do.

I watched the GOD in my mother operate this Easter Season. I watched her meek, gentle, forgiving spirit allow my father a place in her home again. I actually helped him move his items back into an apartment in my mom's house. Truly, it's the return of The Prodigal Father.

You see friend, my mom had to endure years of marriage pain as my father committed adultery. She had the stressing and trying time of divorcing my father and battling for marital assets for which she prevailed. She had to live in a society where the man she gave her heart to when she was 20 years old, married the woman who helped to wreck our home.

Now, as my father's second wife, is divorcing him, he's prostrate at the feet of his first wife - my mother - begging for mercy. This Easter Weekend, I saw my mom's heart, filled with bowels of compassion, hand an entire apartment in her house, over to my dad for FREE.

I listened quite attentively as she said how she felt about the hurt and the pain over the years, lay certain rules down and then place some hot meals in front of him to eat. She wasn't walking around with her mouth pushed up, or filled with anger. She was still doing what a virtuous woman does. When I woke this morning, she was doing some washing for him already, and it hasn't been 72 hours as yet.

I preach about forgiveness quite often, but to see it before my very eyes, from the woman who has raised me and taught me much about my faith, is truly a living testimony. Honestly, as I type, everything still feels like a cartoon. I've instructed my mom and dad to write their entire story in two separate books so Dare 2 Be Different can publish them. Having done that, I'll take experiences from both of their books, add my persperpective from a child's point of view and then seek funding to have our entire life story produced in a movie in the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis to help to save relationships and marriages all across the globe. This is our latest Dare 2 Be Different Project, so some of you locals will get a chance to be in a movie that will go international to help to save marriages.

This Easter, just like my prodigal dad has come home, may I appeal to husbands and wives who are caught up in adultery to ask forgiveness of their partners and go home. Save you marriage, save your family, save your generation. Forgive as Jesus Forgave.

Daddy has asked us forgiveness and we've forgiven him. I know it'll be hard to forget the pain and nothing can compensate for the missed years of an absent father, but just as God forgave, we too have. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. ( Luke 15:24 KJV)

Boyfriends and girl friends, aim to start and build your relationships on God as our website, http://www.loveshouldlast.com/ says, so that your family doesn't end up like mine. You'll hear full accounts in the future in my mother and father's books and in our Family movie that I'll be sure to direct.

Hope is Ahead.

Thank God for A Mother Like Mine

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6  KJV

I wish every young person had a mother like mine. A mother like Mrs. Yvette Wallace

While thousands of feet above ground the other day, I scribbled this Hope Devotional about my mother. I write them all over the place. I believe one day, you may probably find one lying around somewhere - cherish it, it may be intended to empower you.

Before flying, there is always much preparation needed to ensure everything is in order. A couple weeks back, while moving around here and there before leaving for the airport, my mother stopped me and said, "make sure you eat." Mothers know their children well. I guess she knew that sometimes I get so caught up, I really forget to eat.

When I sat at the table, she had already brewed me a cup of tea and placed a well prepared sandwich in front of me. I was grateful. My mind then went back through the twenty five years of mommy's care. We never understood some of her rules and oft times we thought they were a bit too much. We are grateful today. Let me run through a few.

* We were always to do what was RIGHT. If we did something wrong, she would sit us down, give us a long talk as to why she was going to spank us, then make us repeat Provebs 22:15, Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.  This was so intimating, but today we're grateful.

* STAY  POSITIVELY  OCCUPIED. After dinner, to teach us to stay positively occupied and be industrious, we were to go and care for the rabbits, dogs, sheep and pigs, do our homework and set for bed around 9pm.

* Look Professional - Stay Humble. We always had to wear our shirts in our pants even if we were dressing casually. She was teaching us to be professional all the time.

I can go on and on and on with dozens of other rules. Many we didn't understand and agree with, but we now are grateful today.

* Take Care of Your Teeth and Body. Mommy wanted to break the generation of Dentures, so she never gave us candy until we were seven or eight years old and brushing our teeth became like breathing. Today, none of her four children have dentures, well at least not yet. (SMILE). If we get, it'll be our fault.

Mommy constantly taught us the importance of saving and not keeping all our eggs in one basket. She carried us to open accounts and started small fixed deposits that she handed all over to us at eigteen years old. She told us that what we do with what she saved for us will help to determine our destiny and we can never say that she didn't give us a start. She taught us about the importance of real estate and we should never let our land grow wild with bushes when it can work for us if we farm it.

We were some rich 18 year olds. She gave us a good start indeed. We always looked forward to turning eighteen as she promised to get us what ever we wanted to start life. At 18, my twin brothers asked for a car each, and she gave them. My younger brother asked for an advanced keyboard and I asked for a US$299 t-shirt printing machine that has brought me to where I am today - http://www.kvkenterprises.com/.

She had it tough, having to train and manage four growing boys herself and struggle with the pain of a home being ruined due to adultery. I always admired her stance. It was a must that we be at church. Thus, we were there for the 11am service. We had to go back for 2:30pm Sunday School and return for 7:30pm church. I guess she had in her mind, that with the absence of a father, the church was to assist in our upbringing.

Today, we are all still actively involved in church work. Time won't permit me to go through everything. I am grateful to have shared this 0.1% of my Mother's Impact on our lives, with you. What ever her four boys do in life, that may not be right, we can never blame MOMMY because she trained us RIGHT - She played her ROLE.

She was firm in being both MOTHER  AND  FATHER. She ensured that we became independent men by teaching us both male and female things. So, yes we can use a sewing machine. Some of us better than some. Yes - we can cook nearly any and everything - so our wives won't be burdened with that. We honestly shouldn't be buying bread and cake and pastries because mommy showed us that too. She prepared us well for our future.

Mommy reminds me of the Virtuous Woman talked about in Proverbs 31:10. She was always doing something outside her regular Teaching Career to make life. Sewing ironing board covers, making sugar cakes, jams, coconut fudges, decorating dolls for clients, teaching one on one reading classes to children and adults. (http://www.alteritskn.com/)

That's simply why I always say, I want to marry a wife with traits like my mother.

I'm happy I'm giving my mom her flowers now, while she's alive because I just don't know when she'll be called home to Glory. You should too. Thank God For A Mother Like Mine.

Parents - Train up a child in the way they should go: and when they are old, they will not depart from it.  Proverbs 22:6  KJV

We've erred as sons, many times. There is one thing we know though, is that we'll never forget the teachings of our mother. They will not depart from us. Even if we would have gone far away from them like the Prodigal Son at times, there is still HOPE for us, there is still HOPE AHEAD because mommy ensured that she planted GOOD  SEEDS  from the moment her four sons were born. Good Seeds usually yield Good Fruit.

These words from our mother's mouth continue to take us throughout life, "Children, try your best to always do right. When you slip and fall, don't stay down. Never give up. Keep on pushing. God will never let down those who trust in him."

Hope is Ahead once we Train Our Children Right!

Lord Please Save Our Marriages

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. (Hebrews 13:4  KJV)

I've reached a point in my life where I'm a bit scared about getting married.

Our fully dedicated ministry prayer and support line rang (869-465-5914) and I answered. The lady on the other end confirmed that it was me and she was overly joyous. I wondered what was causing such an elaborate outpour of excitement.

We get calls, emails, texts, blackberry and facebook messages from all across the world with people going through different experiences. There is one thing I always reinforce with my team, that is to do what the Bible says in Ro 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. So I started rejoicing somewhat, until I heard what she said.

Her words, "Brother Khrystus, my husband left the other day. We were married for 30 years you know and he left me. I'm soooo HAPPY and I would NEVER take him back because I had 30 years of HELL." She continued rejoicing.

I felt a bit awkward that I was rejoicing with the lady for what she was rejoicing about when she started rejoicing over the phone. In the back of my head, I said, Lord, Please save our marriages.

You see friend, I'm not married as yet and having to talk with and encourage so many married couples going through varying challenges, it scares me when I think of my future as a wedded man. With the worldwide divorce rate SKY  HIGH, the devil seems to be certainly enjoying this particular job of wrecking homes.

While I recommend doing all you can to save your marriage, I won't spend this time counselling. I prefer to use it wisely and guide other singles as they consider making that step. I gladly welcome your questions and responses for I know they are many.

Friend, always remember, what starts wrong in a relationship would NEVER end right. Many times you see the bad characteristics in your male or female partner and you still get married with high hopes things will change. From my dozens of marriage talks, things seldom change after marriage. Don't expect to marry an unsaved man or woman and then get angry when they don't want to come to church regularly.

. . . and the list goes on.

If he's lying now, he'll lie tomorrow. If she likes to flirt with men now while she's with you, and you always feel uncomfortable, what makes you think she'll change? While I do believe in privacy in a relationship, I also believe in couples being open too. So, if he / she get's edgy when you take up his/her Blackberry or Iphone, it's probably true that your other half is not being faithful. Yes, he/she may be having an intimate conversation or even be sharing different types of pictures.

I am a very firm believer that although technology is good, it contributes highly to the breakdown of many modern relationships (another topic by itself).

Singles, I believe once we follow God's word and aim to build our relationships on God and put our future in His hands, things have NO  CHOICE  but to work out. Dare 2 Be Different Int'l (SKN & KENYA) continues to place much emphasis on building LOVE and relationships that LAST. We always recommend to our international following to keep visiting and revisiting our simple GUIDE  WEBPAGE at http://www.loveshouldlast.com/

I know that I can't go through life being fearful about love and relationships or I'll end up single. Something I don't really want.

So, Honestly, deep down inside, I always dream about how I plan to live my life to ensure that I save my marriage when God gives the O.K for that special someone.

I write and stay fully occupied in ministry NOW because I know when "The Mrs. Wallace" probably comes by, I'll have to spend alot of time with her cuddling, loving, providing, giving her attention and keeping her happy 24-7. I know that it would be a crime to forget to go and cheer on Khrystus Jr. when he enters the Spelling B Competition or plays soccer in the Little League.

I know when I'm seated by my computer, just as I am now, and my wife comes and gives me an intimate kiss, I would have to leave everything else undone and. . . .

I know no matter how tired I am after a long night, I'll have to rise early to ensure that I keep family devotions and give my wife and kids a spirit filled send off every day.

I know, that although my middle names are "Work and Ideas," I'll have to make time to show up at my wife's office for no apparent reason just to give her a hug and some flowers and tell her I love her. I'll also have to make time to talk with my teenage daughter so that she knows for sure that her dad has her covered and she knows that if she is disrespected by some out of order gentleman, daddy is just a call away.

Saving my marriage would be saving a home, hence saving a generation.

I long to be The Father that I wish I had when I was a little boy. Marriage is honourable in all  - Hebrews 13:4a. It was ordained by God to last. Once we build our relationships on God and work at making them last, God will surely Save Our Marriages. Look and See!

Hope is Ahead for Marriages and Relationships built on God!
