Hi all.

My wife and I, Corinne, have been with Gottalife International Ministries for many years now. We have seen the hand of God move and keep us going through some very difficult times. It is really exciting seeing what God is doing with us as a ministry now. The Lord clearly spoke to Kenny about the organic church, and that this is what we should put our time and effort into. The funny thing is, Corinne and myself have known all these things for a long time now, and the Lord has kept us from going to an institutional church for years now. It was a big sacrifice to us, we couldn't exactly understand it, but we saw all the flaws and shortcomings in the institutional church. Now I understand why we had to leave, and even now there are still certain ideas and philosophies from those days that we have to deal with. We thought God had removed all the nonsense from us, but we see now that this would be a longer process, but an exciting one.

God is busy putting into words that which we have known for years in our hearts, but never fully understood or knew how to express it. My wife and I were obedient to the Lord by leaving our denomination, without having a clear direction forward. We did it in faith. Now, by the grace of God, we see why we had to sacrifice those years of being isolated, misunderstood, and all the things that go with it. We weren't bitter, or disillusioned, or upset with the institutional church. We stayed for as long as what we felt we should, and when God said to us to go, we left. I am saying all of this so that whoever reads this, doesn't have to leave without knowing where to go. As an orphan, so to speak. As a ministry, our big focus now will be to make as many resources in as many media forms available to anyone brave enough to make the plunge into the exciting life and community of church, or at least, as church should be: organic. Our hearts have been longing for true fellowship for so long. It has been especially hard for my wife, who is one of the most loving and selfless persons I know. We want to see the love of Christ through other people, express the love of Christ to other people, and experience the love of Christ in our own hearts. "They shall know we are Christians by our love." We want this statement to be true.

If you managed to read this far, I pray that you will take time to look at all the resources and links that are on this website, and start walking this road with us. It is the road less travelled, but it holds great treasures for those willing to walk in it.

Love and blessings in Christ,
Frankie Joubert
