"No matter what the day may bring to you, Keep On Praisin'!" - Fred Hammond
Never knew the path I was on while writing a sermon for my Uncle when I was twelve, but God did. Who am I? Your brother; Minister and Apostle unto God. I am the one who was entrusted with the vision of God's Grace Ministries, a ministry determined to "Manifesting the Vision; Giving Sight to the Body of Christ". It is a ministry of mentorship to ministries and ministry leaders who want to come together as one for a common purpose. That purpose being to do ministry according to the Word of God, and not the word of man.
My name is Apostle Kelvin Pendleton. My ministry career began at Covenant Missionary Baptist church, Florida City, Florida, where I assisted in many areas of ministry. Seeing my dedication, Pastor Joseph G. Sewell saw fit to train me to be a deacon. I began my training in 1997, and later participated in the planting of a new church, Greater New Covenant M.B.C in Homestead, FL. There, I was ordained a Deacon, and appointed Vice President of the governing body. While there, I played drums, sang tenor in the choir, setup A/V ministry, participated with transportation ministry, finance committee, clerical staff, and so much more.
After a challenge by God, I preached my first full sermon from the pulpit at the turn of the century. Most knew at that point where my path was leading me, as mid 2000 I was licensed as a minister. Following that, I was then appointed Assistant to the Pastor where I served in the role until God called me to move. I said I'd never leave Miami, but found myself on the midnight train to Georgia. It was there that God gave me the vision for God's Grace Ministries. This vision is way beyond who I am and it's going to take the combined efforts of many who want to bring healing to the Body of Christ. In 2002, I met Apostle John Davis at a leadership meeting who saw my vision, and believed in me enough to immediately ordain me an Apostle.
This long and tedious walk I've had so far, I thank God for it. With all the various ministries and auxiliaries I've assisted, it's given me a great perspective on how ministry is ran. I've seen so much in ministry, and grieve much for most of what I've seen. It's time to lay aside our traditions and self made doctrines and do the ministry Christ left us with. Let us come together on one accord and edify the Body of Christ!
If you are interested in participating in this vision, or if you live in the Atlanta Metro area and wish to be a part of the new church that will be planted in 2008, please contact me so we can talk more. I look forward to working with YOU, yes YOU! Be blessed, again I say, be blessed beyond belief in Jesus' name!1 Corinthians 13
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
The greatest message I can give you is not one of a prophetic revelation, but a historical fact that Christ still lives, and waiting for you to accept Him in your life. If you have not, now is the time. You don't need a fancy service, nor a sacred ritual; all you need is a contrite heart and spirit, and to believe. Your journey begins with a willing spirit to believe that He was born, He was crucified, He was buried, He was risen by God, and He is still alive! I offer Christ to you, while you still have time. Don't wait for all the predictions of the day He is coming back to come true, for tomorrow is not promised to you. Find Christ while you have time, right here, right now.
Tell me, what can I do to help? I try to answer every email so feel to write. Remember this, let no one tell you that you are a nobody. You became someone significant when God breathed the breath of life into you. From the dust you were formed and fashioned into the likeness of His image, and were gifted and anointed for your destiny and for your purpose. So it's not up to the person who says that you are a nobody, it's between you and God. Believe in God: and believe in yourself as I believe in you!
