Brakpan AGF is a vibrant cross-cultural, multi-racial church that tries it's best to cater to young and old alike. We endeavour to preach the undiluted truth of God's Word and to avoid the modern tendency of trying to be politically correct. We are at the same time very conscious of the grace of God which has reached each of us in our brokenness and given us hope and strength to live a life of victory in Him, through Him and for Him. It has been my privilege to pastor the Brakpan AGF for over 2 decades, during which time I've had the joy of seeing the Lord raise up leadership around me who share my vision and who have been instrumental in the positive changes that have taken place in the assembly in recent years. We have a sense of anticipation for what God has in store for us in the future.     (Pastor Ken Paynter)

The abomination of Desolation Gavin Paynter , 20 May 2012
Matt 24:15-20 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’ spoken of through the prophet Daniel - let the reader understand - then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath.”

Wrongful Conviction in Ethiopia Robs Christian of Children MOYALE, Ethiopia, May 17 (Compass Direct News) – His wife died shortly before he was falsely accused of desecrating the Quran, and by the time he was released from prison in southern Ethiopia, his two children, ages 6 and 15, were missing. Tamirat Woldegorgis walked out of prison in Jijiga on April 25, limping, after spending nearly two years in custody, including months in a small cell with 50 other inmates that left one leg paralyzed. “I have been trying to locate my children, but all in vain,” Woldegorgis told Compass. “My life is ruined – I have lost my house, my children, my health. I am now homeless, and I am limping.” Muslims in his native Hagarmariam village may have taken his children to further discourage him from having any influence in the area, said Woldegorgis, now staying with a friend in an undisclosed town.
