A brief Background

 Hello, my name is John. On the day of my conversion (15/11/1986) I entered a conservative church group and have served in pretty much every function that one can serve in the local church. I have 27+ years experience with the Bible. I graduated from bible institute in the year 1998. I was ordained for this ministry in the year 2000.
I am conservative in character and preservative in purpose.

During the early 90's as I studied church history, I saw the impact that the 'pilgrim' people of God have made on our history, and I sought to emulate their example. The Pilgrim Band was conceived in 1995 as a vehicle to preserve ethical values and comment on social trends. In the winter of 1997 the ministry was officially launched, beginning in my home city and extending to reach out to the towns in out-lying areas. Accompanied by my companions we engaged in street ministry in the bigger cities.

During the year 2000 the letter-writing part of the ministry began to take shape, sending off letters to places of disrepute and to political leaders who were seeking to pass policies of disrepute.

From the year 2007, our publications were converted into E-Book format for download off the Internet, we converted our letter ministry to email communications, revamped our core website and we condensed our projects. The ministry continues today committed to the values which once made western nations great empires.
We seek to address personal and national complexities.

In this site's Member Area, we have the E-Books, 'Memoir of a Pilgrim Preacher' which traces my journey in this ministry, and the mini-sequel to my memoir entitled, 'My Health Journey'. Access these E-Books via the Log-In page.

 

What We Believe


1: THE SCRIPTURES - The Holy Bible, consisting of the 66 books of the old and new testaments, is verbally inspired of God, infallible, inerrant and is the supreme and final authority for life and practice. The Word of God has been preserved through the line of the 'Textus Receptus' and is available today in many languages, and in English as the 'King James Authorised' bible. 

2: THE GODHEAD - God, an infinite intelligent spirit, maker and supreme ruler of the universe, consists as three entities in the unity of the Godhead - Father, Son and Holy Ghost, who are equal in every way and fulfill different roles in regards to their relations with mankind.
Jesus Christ, the eternal Word, became flesh and dwelt among men for thirty-three and a half years. He died on behalf of mankind and His blood makes atonement for mankinds sins, fully satisfying the justice of God. He was resurrected bodily. He ascended into Heaven to intercede, being the only mediator between God and man. He shall return to rapture His church at the Second Advent and then He shall reign on the earth in His Kingdom.
The Holy Ghost indwells believers, guides them and imparts to them all the provision of God for life and practice.  It is the privilege and obligation of all believers to be 'filled with the Spirit' and to co-operate as the important work of sanctification is worked out day by day.

 3: THE CREATION AND FALL OF MAN - The Genesis account is to be taken literally. Man was created in innocence, but by voluntary transgression fell into a state of spiritual death. In consequence, all of mankind are sinners by first birth and by choice. Sin is the transgression of God's moral law.


4: SALVATION - Jesus Christ was sent into the world (by virgin birth) to be the only saviour of the world. His work upon the Cross is an atoning work. Jesus Christ arose from the dead to be the living Saviour of those who repent and believe on Him for salvation of the soul, and thereafter to walk the path of sanctification until the day of redemption of the body. 
A sinner must be 'Born Again', which is a work of the Holy Spirit of God, imparting God's life into the human spirit. This is instantaneous upon repentance and obedience to the gospel message. The saint has a new position before God's eyes, being 'In Christ'  and walks the path of sanctification.

 5: PRINCIPALITIES AND GOD'S KINGDOM - Satan and his angel followers in the dawn of time rebelled against God, and now seek to take people away from the light of the Scriptures. The blood-bought, Spirit-filled believer has experiential victory over such Principalities. 

Only those who are born from above can enter God's Kingdom, having been saved from sin's penalty and power by the blood of Christ. The souls of the redeemed will be in conscious bliss forever in Heaven and in the coming Kingdom of God to earth.

6: THE CHURCH - A visible local church of Christ is a congregation of born again, baptised believers, covenanted together to propagate the gospel, worship God and uphold the true faith of the Scriptures.  Jesus Christ bought the Church with His own blood and gave to the Church the authority to evangelise and disciple.

 7: CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY - All believers are to live a life of separation in the world: not being conformed to this world's anti-god philosophies, ideals and fashions. Believers are told to look up, ready for the soon return of Christ, who shall establish His Kingdom on earth. Therefore we are told to be working for Christ until He comes and He shall reward every one according to their works.
