Sorry for the long absence everyone! There has been so much happening in our busy lives but that is no excuse. Let's get straight into an update;
- Our long battle with Government has paid off at last concerning official recognition for faith based therapy. I received a personal answer back from the Minister of Health in which Dr. Motsoaledi confrimed that we do not fall under their mandate and are therefore free to operate under alternative legistlation. We are now officially registered under the Natural Health Practitioners Act as Theological Counsellors and our Centre at House Regeneration is also an accredited Faith Based Therapy and Training Centre. The National Biblical Counseling College is also the officially recognized institution through which all future Bible based Therapists and Counsellors are to be trained and registered.
- Our centre is almost running at full capacity with 50 inmates currently on the program.
- Thirty eight students enrolled at NBCC (link www.nbcc.za.com)
- We will have a brand new website up and running at www.xf.co.za before mid January 2012.
- Annatjie is about to receive her Phd. in Biblical Therapy which is an historical landmark in SA.
- I won the SA Benchpress Competition in my age and weight class in Stellenbosch in Oct 2011.
A very dear friend and fellow warrior in Christ, Paul McFarlane joined our full time team in the TLC department at our therapy centre. We go back 30 years where we were both pastors of different Invisible Church congregations. He also represented SA twice in the USA in bodybuilding during those days. It was so amazing to see how that God had kept both our insights into aspect of Christian identity and growth along the same lines. It was almost as if God had prepared him to join up with us in these days as so many of his acquired skills fit in with our needs. At the same time he says it feels to him like a long outstanding homecoming! How great is our God!
Please explain the following comment on your facebook cause "Biblical Counseling College!
ReplyDeletePosted by Ado Krige on October 11, 2011 The college is now up and running and open for enrollments! Only 150 allowed next 12 months. We r registered & accredited by SANHPB, a legal body appointed by Government to enlist & control the services of Traditional and Faith healers. We may now train, accredit & register certified practitioners. Our centre & college are both now registered. www.nbcc.za.com go there! We made it! Pass the message on! Praise Jesus!
SANHPB has nothing to do with legal accreditation of any institution in SA, nor do they have the authority to do so. This is a scam started by Marius Herholdt and friends. See the links and connect the dots:
http://www.synergeticaacademy.co.za/synergetica%20academy_004.htm
Even Filadelfia is FAKE as they claim accreditation by both MINTS, and SANHPB, both http://www.filadelfiaopleiding.org.za/filadelfia_home.htmlof which have NO legal Government accreditation.
This is the same Marius who stole thousands of rands from students by enrolling them on FAKE degrees, http://online.degree.net/accredited-unaccredited-state-approved-diploma-mill/t-commonwealth-open-university-1915.html
Your courses have ZERO value unless they are accredited by the Department of Education and/or SAQA.
Why dont you guy's get an honest job and work for a change, and stop stealing innocent people's money?
If you really want to help people, close your fake institutions, stop counseling and start ministring: http://www.psychoheresy-aware.org/bksonline.html
This makes me sick!!
Sorry about your discomfort at being sick.You really need some help. Please come and visit our centre and speak to the people who are being helped by us fakes! Also speak to their families and go and meet the Minister of Health and ask him if his letter to me is a fake and if the Health Practitioners Act of 2004 is also fake. What is sickening is the ministry of criticism to which you belong and which has no Biblical basis. What are you doing regarding the families who are losing their members to drug overdosis and what are you doing to combat drugs effectively except by critisizing people who have put everything on the line including our lives to help save some. Have you gone into the streets to face druglords to rescue those in their grips. Get a life whoever you are.
DeleteHi
DeleteI studied with Therapon, I learned everything that you would learn at any other university, I got a job as a lecturer in Australia, I lecture finance and Business.
God also don't like people who scold and scream at others. Why don't you try a course or two? also if you don't like the University, don't waste your time surfing our website, my dear, maybe you should take a time management course at our university. Oh yes it has a lot to do with South Africa I did my course in Pretoria. At the same time I started a church in The Middle East! God Bless all the fools on earth! Your input is valued if it has any value otherwise we will pray for you. We look forward to your enrollment and value your interest.

ReplyDeleteAlso, why do you call yourself Dr. your PhD from Therapon University is a fake, and anyone can get a fake degree. God is not a respector of persons, titles etc. Stop ungodly counseling and start Godly ministering!

This will answer the above two comments by "Anonymous". Obviously you spend a considerable amount of time "researching" your attacks on fellow Christians, I assume you are one. Biblical Counselling per se is not a recognized subject in any secular education system. Theology is but then few theologians ever become a threat to secular mental health workers. Your ignorance of how the system works is obvious and your lack of understanding addicts and their problems is even more aparent. Many of the people we have helped with our fake knowledge of the Bible have come out of churches where they have been born and raised. Some of their parents have even been in Ministry. Still they became addicted to all sorts of life destroying habits. We have spent as much time and energy studying the Bible through various Universities in order to help them, as people in other disciplines who have an earned PhD. You need to study your Bible concerning the basic teachings of Jesus regarding being judgmental. Please find something better to do than looking for Christians to critisize out of ignorance.
DeleteIt is sad that uniformed persons like "Anonymous" make remarks on people that do something for the Lord and live out Matt 28:19, I wonder what is he doing for the Lord, It is actually a coward hiding behind the word "Anonymous". I myself have a PhD working since 1995 on it can gladly say it is no fake. Ado keep going bru I am all the way behind you! Hennie de Jager 082 968 7310 or john8.36@vodamail.co.za
DeleteToday most Christians wonder how to help troubled people without some form of counseling, from psychological to some form of biblical adaptation. Too many see the luscious-looking grass on the other side of the fence as being good for food, pleasant to the eyes, and desirable to make them wise.
ReplyDeleteJesus is the good shepherd who leads His sheep to good pastures. He has given new life and sustains it through the Holy Spirit working in that new life. He has given His sheep wisdom from above through His Word, which is living, life-giving, and powerful. He is the one who searches the hearts of mankind. He is trustworthy to complete that which He has begun and to fulfill what He has promised.
Believers need to return to the old paths rather than sniff and nibble the grass on the other side of the fence. They need to stay close to the good shepherd and they need to be wary of those who through erudite speech would entice them to another pasture. They also need to watch out for those who would plant hybrid seeds that look even better than the real thing but starve the soul.
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein (Jeremiah 6:16).

I doubt that the above comment was posted by the Bobgans themselves. "Anonymous" is quoting people with whom I am quite familiar and to a large extent in agreement concerning their stand against intergrationalism. We also do not believe that anything should be added to God's Word in encouraging and healing one another or in bringing sinners to Christ. These are clear commandments by our Lord. We do differ in the approach that Biblical Counselling should be raised to a level in society that it not only competes with but supersedes the work of secular mental health professionals. Graduates from most seminaries who enter into the church as ministers do not receive training in dealing with mental and emotional issues. Hence many refer even their church members to psychatrists and psychologists. They perceive that they have not been trained in that area. We believe that this gross anomoly must be eradicated by training people in biblical therapy and counseling. The true testing ground is in faith based centres where some of the worst emotional and mental trauma is found.It is fine to critisize if you wish but then come forward with some practical solutions. People just do not approach churches for help when a loved one is addicted. This can and will change if they know that they will find suitably qualified and trained people in the church who can really help them. This is the ultimate aim in our ministry.
DeleteIn future I will not bother to answer someone who remains behind a cloak of secrecy with the title "Anonymous". I might be having an argument with a pharisee or even worse the devil in disguise.
I have posted the truth - why did you delete it?
ReplyDeleteThen you should delete the lies and heresies you posted as well!
I guess you need the urge to justify your ideologies!
Hennie de Jager, your saw your profile on Therapon University, sorry to inform you, Therapon University is as fake as a R10 coin my friend! The so called accreditation body AAATI is run by Cecil Johnson from his back yard..its a accreditation mill!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not against good works and Godly mninistry, but please do not name or claim anything which is fake, this is damaging to thebody of Christ!
The entire damacus and other ministry pastors posted on Therapon's University with titles such a professor is a joke, I had a great laugh! Mmmmm...maybe this year I will become a professor....its just $300 or so and a few pages hogwash!
Good luck boys!
Everyone these days buys degrees for different reasons - even people in government. Dr Ado Krige might or might not be one of them.
ReplyDeleteI've known Dr Krige for years, although somewhat controversial in his teachings, he remains human and makes human mistakes.
Maybe it is a good idea for those people who question your Phd, to publish the facts in public as to which legal institutions recognises your qualification(s)
My objections are:
Why must students attending your rehab, (whose parents pay a fortune to keep them there) buy toilet paper at the tack shop?
Nowhere on your website do you publish your success rate.
As a family owned business, what qualifications do the rest of you have? (Your boys working there.)
Are all of the additional buildings where people stay, compliant to the national building regulations and are there building plans for all of them??
All the best with your great work- God Bless
Ons vertrou nou dat Anoniem se sooibrandaanval verby is en dat ons weer kan hande vat en Vader dien soos wat Jesus self die voorbeeld gestel het. Addo Krige is 'n gerespekteerde Koninkryksdienaar wat doen wat die Heilige Gees aan hom openbaar. Enige-iemand wat dit bevraagteken as onkonvensioneel, bevraagteken ook die Opdraggewer daarvan... Mag daar reuse seën op Addo se werk wees en mag hy 1 Petrus 2:20 en 21 ter harte neem as die goggageeste sy aandag so probeer aftrek van sy roeping.
