History
of M.A.D
MAD was an idea that God laid on my heart many
years ago. I remember being in a rehab far away
in Mozambique working in the fields in the hot
sun. I told a few of my friends that one day I
wanted to have a ministry and I would call it Eden
(back to the beginning)
I left that rehab and relapsed many more times,
and somehow the dream was suppressed.
Many years later I was reminded of that vision.
I had attended a meeting at a church and there
was a speaker blessed with the gift of prophecy.
He told us his life story and how he discovered
God. He told us that after he was saved he would
specifically try and find prophetic ministries.
He desperately desired to hear from his creator
and this was the only way he thought he would hear
Gods voice. He told us how he would sit in the
front rows and try and grab the pastor's attention.
He would try to look extra happy or extremely sad
to somehow get noticed. It never happened and so
the one evening the lady sitting next to him was
given a "word" A great prophetic word
of encouragement and motivation. A beautiful message
of hope and promise. On his way home he said to
God, "the bible was written for specific audiences
a long time ago yet it is your word and it is still
relevant to me today. So that prophetic word that
was spoken over that lady tonight, that beautiful
message. I claim it right now"
He then told us that from that evening his life
had never been the same. He shared the awesome
struggles and blessings that he had encountered
with his new walk with God.
As I was leaving this service, this pastor's wife
called me over. And then she said it. The same
words that had been spoken over my life twice before
at different venues and at different times. " you
will be a battering ram for Christ and you will
have a place of refuge for the broken hearted"
I was stunned, and silenced. On the bus trip home
, I also had a conversation with God. I said "in
faith I am willing to do this and in faith I can
only trust you" " I am scared and I don’t
know how this will happen but I leave it all in
your hands"
The next day MAD was born. The next day I received
a phone call from my mother saying that she had
miraculously spoken to an old friend that she had
not seen in many years. He told her that he had
also struggled with addiction for many years of
his life. Eventually he had dedicated his life
to God. Throughout the years he had pastored many
churches and that in the more recent years he was
overseeing a ministry that had many churches on
an international level. He wrote me a letter and
said that he would cover all the costs for me to
study my pastoral studies. One of my oldest friends
who I had been writing to only recently just said
out of the blue "if you ever need a website,
I can help you". And so It went on like that
and still carries on today. Millions of opportunities,
of past people and places, all being brought together
to make this wonderful picture come to life.
In the last six months, I have had the awesome
privilege to speak to over 12000 children and to
help 100's of families and I don’t even want
to think where God will take this into the future.
Gods promises are for everyone and so CLAIM IT
!
Through my many years of battling with addiction,
I was passed from person to person and from place
to place. I realized that there were so many different
organizations trying to help, but there was never
one place that offered a complete solution to the
problem.
MAD is just that. We are a ministry dedicated to
the prevention and the complete solution to drugs
and addiction. I am committed to this cause and
my promise is that MAD will try its level best
to help anyone that needs it.
When God saved me, he had someone else in mind.
And so I feel honoured to reflect that revelation.
