To introduce myself, my name is Alex Tinson, and I am a disciple of Jesus Christ and author of this website. My life has been a journey, a pilgrimage of faith through the wilderness of this life that has had its fair share of setbacks and ups and downs. But a journey that has been marked by a pursuit for the truth. The truth that is contained in God’s Word. To try and understand this truth, and to then try and make these truths known to the Body of Christ.
From a young age I was drawn to the Bible, and would spend hours reading it. Initially thumbing through the pages of my big children’s Bible and marvelling at the pictures contained in it. Before I then went onto a Gideon Bible given to me at school, and then to a proper leather-bound Bible given to me as a teenager. This desire for God’s Word carried on when I came to the faith in 1984. God gave me a hunger for His Word, a hunger which has continued to drive me throughout my life.
I have experienced some wrong turns in this pursuit of truth, mistaking the enthusiasm and energy of the faith prosperity movement for the true Biblical gospel. A curve in the road that cost us much time, effort and resources. But God has been faithful and He delivered me from it. And I now spend my time searching out what is the truth of God’s Word. Whatever that truth actually says. And whatever demands it puts upon us. Seeking heavenly treasure within the pages of the Bible. A treasure which is the revelation of Jesus Himself.
This pursuit has now developed into a ministry, that seeks to enrich God’s people with some of the treasures that I have discovered along the way. To feed His Living Bread to whoever will listen. To make Christ known and to hopefully help people avoid the same mistakes that I have made in my Christian walk. And to hopefully express something of what the Spirit is saying to the church in these days. To this end I speak at churches and fellowships, and we run pastor’s conferences in Africa as the Lord enables us. I truly hope that the ministry contained on this website will benefit your walk with the Lord.
God has blessed my wife Tanya and I with five children and three grandchildren.
May God’s abundant grace be with you all,
Alex Tinson
