PASTOR DAN NGAGE, KENYA: Praise the most wonderful name of our Lord Christ Jesus. My heart rejoices as I reflect the fact that all of us share the abundance grace of Christ. I am sincerely grateful unto God for the wonderful work I believe you are doing and involved in during these last days, as you continually sharing the love of Christ with broken world and in the midst of the poorest community. (Isaiah 61:1) - a world which is desperately in need of the saving grace and power of our Lord Christ Jesus. It is with this in mind that I have always been in earnest prayers and in seeking the divine will of God to introduce me with you. I got saved in 1999, and God called me into this great work of the kingdom in the year 2001 and since then I have witnessed the mighty move of God as souls are saved. I appreciated and thank God for calling me among the poor, as poor man to serve the community. On behalf of the servants of God and believers here, most humbly request and appeal to you to allow us to partner together and build up the Lord’s Ministry here in Kenya, so that all of us may be joined with bond of Christ Jesus in the fulfillment of the Great Commission according to the word of Jesus in the book of (Mathew 28:18 – 20) We are therefore more ready to work with you and be directly connected with you in the promoting of the gospel of Christ in Africa. We are bears of the good tidings of great joy.

I

am glad to connect with your team. I am pleased to see that an organizations such as the International Fellowship of Exchanged Life is coming into play. I also look forward to your magazine. The term "Exchanged Life" is used to denote an exchange of one's old life of living and operating in their own strength, for Christ's life. It also indicates an acceptance of the believer’s identity in Jesus Christ. The popular missionary preacher, J. Hudson Taylor, used the term in his personal testimony of how God made him a new man.

I have had an Exchanged Life Conference ministry for the past 23 years. As a result of some deep brokenness as a pastor, I was exposed to the message of the Cross through a conference at Grace Fellowship Atlanta in 1988. The message of Christ as life was so liberating and freeing that I have never been the same since. I later went through their internship program and eventually ended up on staff as a counselor and conference director. Soon after that, I launched out on my own and have been sharing the message of the Cross for over twenty years. I have conducted conferences throughout Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, as well as many churches throughout North America. To me, the message is still as fresh and liberating today as it was over 24 years ago. I am just as passionate about sharing the liberating message of the Cross as I was at my very first conference. I could never go back to performance-based Christianity. I’m sure you would agree.

Only if God so leads: You can help finance the Exchanged Life Global Initiative . The services we provide our partners are costly . We do not charge a fee for any of our services, including books, workbooks, booklets, audios, etc. Our work is all under the banner of: What then is my reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel without charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel (1 Corinthians 9:18, NASB). All gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. It is our policy to meet the needs God lays before us, so that Christ is lifted up and the work of the Exchanged Life Global Initiative is advanced.

I have been influenced by books written by Solomon, Nee, Gillham, Taylor, Sparks, Guyon, and others. I especially focus on the importance of brokenness. For me, it seems for someone to really understand the message of the Cross, there has to be a degree of brokenness. I even believe that the level of understanding of the message is directly related to the degree of brokenness and surrender. It seems to be especially true with Pastors. In addition to a domestic conference ministry, I have been heavily involved in international ministry throughout Eastern Europe, SE Asia, India, Iraq, Africa, and South America. I am continually amazed at the relevancy of the message of the Cross wherever you find genuine followers of Jesus. The Cross truly penetrates every language barrier. I pray for God’s blessings on your ministry and thank you for featuring ours. May you continue to experience the wonder of His grace, and the peace that comes from resting in His life.
