About Us

I/We are a small community which has just established itself in Chester Maryland on kent Island. We have traveled the East coast over the past few years and are attempting to build a community on this Kent Island. Do you believe the words of Jesus Christ? He said, 'no one comest to the Father but by Me!', if you do then we are in agreement .

We are Celtic in tradition, this means that;

We do not believe in the celibacy of our clergy and that includes the Bishop, although celibacy may be of one's personal choice, it is 'freewill' allowed by Almighty God and not required.
We do not accept the idea of 'Original Sin' in the sense that we are all born guilty of the sin of Adam, but that the ability to sin is embedded in us and is a matter of chioce whether to sin or not in the flesh.

We are Orthodox in our worship, this means that we are liturgical because the church was established this way. It means that we follow the teachings of Holy Writ as well as the teachings of the Apostolic Fathers who expounded on the scriptures for us, there is no need to re-interpret the Written Word of God.

Join with us in our struggle to bring Christianity back to the basic truth as taught by Jesus Christ, stop the killing, stop the murder of abortion, stop the hatred of the many factions towards one another. Let us all, each and everyone of us examine ourselves and our group and see where we could improve or change to become one with the church started by Jesus Christ.

Did our Lord not pray, 'that they may be one as we are one, I in you and you in me that they may be in us?' if you believe in the prayer that Jesus Christ prayed for us and you would like to become a part of the movement to correct the wrongs, join with us. We are here to help you grow spiritually, mentally, physically and intuitively by guiding you according to Jesus Christ and the church. Remember Jesus prayed for all of His people to live as and to be one, one with each other and one with Him. That is to say not 'one' for the sake of oneness but 'one' in truth and the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Apostles and the church.This is our mission, re-unite the church; we need to become one again as we were in the beginning, do you agree with this?

Man's church is not the Church of Jesus the Christ which was started by Jesus the Christ Himself and handed down through the Apostles to Bishop and to Bishop throughout the generations of the church.

History

We started out as a small self-defense school in Baltimore, Maryland teaching school age children self-defense against the many acts of violence that are a part of most school age children's lives today.

Adults began taking the courses along with their children. Some parents were police officers which led to specialized training for them. Mothers began wanting rape prevention training.

Somewhere in the mix of it all we became mentors for children helping them in their spiritual growth, and then helping their parents as well. Along the way the healing began to take shape with the prayer ministry.

We are now in Chester, South Carolina, where there is a very high unemployment rate, possibly the highest or close to the highest in the nation.

There are many children who need adoption or care. We are here to help, help us to help them. Please be generous.

Testimonials

Hi Brother,

Thanks very much for your continous encouragement through your combat site. It has been very inspiring to me and I so much liked the design that was on during the Easter period.

I am thinking of becoming a missionary, with my skills in building I can build churches, schools or hospitals in the morning and preach the word in the evening and Sundays. So you can be building spiritually and physically as well, what do you think?

Have a blessed weekend.

Shalom,

Yours in-Christ,

Jacob Asah

I also still have this about Christ not being God. I just cannot see how you can think they are the same person. Maybe you can explain it to me so I can understand your thought. He prayed to His Father, He talked to His Father when on the cross and I just don't comprehend that they are the same.

Hi Gary,

I've been wondering, but how can I practice"Fighting technique" when no one will train with me? (PS: That manuals pretty nice. Keep up the good work).

Hi,

I must say I am pretty impressed with your weekly newsletter. But can you put more actual "Self Defense" things in it?

Regards,
