• A new year for me

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate September 11, 2010
  (I started this mesage almost 3 hrs ago on FB as a 'note'. It is a bit longer and not exactly what I had planned to write. Read on to find out more.)  It was one year ago today that I finally accpeted God's calling and became ordained. At the time I didn't really pay atte...

• A new ministry is beginning

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate August 22, 2010
  What an awesome last two weeks I've had. First a long time, close friend of mine invites back to a social site I stopped using. So I made a new profile making it clear from the start that not only was I a Christian, but also an ordained minister. For the first few days we just sort of...

• A long absence...

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate June 14, 2010
  ...filled with many lessons. To all my friends I say Hello! God is not the only one who loves you without condition. It has been quite a while since I have been here, but God has not kept me idle. More lessons, both joyous and sad, had to be learned by this stubborn, smart-alecky man. And it ain&...

• One event, many lessons

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate November 12, 2009
  Nov 13th, 2005: the darkest, saddest day of my life...I lost my son at 19 days to meningitis after a five day battle. From this one event, God has imparted such understanding and knowledge that He overwhelms me with love. Of course, this kind of learning I would never want even my worse enemy to go...

• Preparing for something...

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate October 24, 2009

• Full time ministry?

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate September 30, 2009
  Its hard for me to believe but God seems to be leading to a  full time ministry. This will mean a lot of travelling and meeting new people. It also means that I will have to come with some way to raise funds necessary. And this, in turn, means I will have to charge for services...which I d...

• Words of Encouragement

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate September 30, 2009
  Here in the last few days as I have been sharing God's plans for His ministry, I have been receiving such great words of support and encouragement. And I also consider myself blessed in that satan has been trying to throw doubt and fear on me, which only lets me know that I must somehow be on t...

• My Ancestors

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate September 28, 2009
  I thought I would share how I came to the full realization of Gods calling for me. I've known for many years that I God wants me to be a helper and teacher, but as for preaching and leading a church...that didn't come until I started searching my genealogy. I discovered my ancestors, the S...

• Back to the Beginning

  by Apostolic Emissary Clifford Crate September 27, 2009
  It looks as if I am not the only one, which is reassuring. God has placed it on my heart to begin the rebuilding of His basic Church with apostolic foundings. Have you noticed how much mans doctrines have taken over control of churches? When you look at my title (whcih I did not choisose...its too w...
