Branch Ministries

"… A branch of which he threw into the waters, and the waters became sweet…" Exodus 15:25 AMP

.

Branch Ministries was established in 1996 by Robert and Mary Grindley after they traveled to Botswana Africa as independent missionaries. The work now expands beyond Botswana and includes Church planting, a Bible Training Program (one-year) in both English and the local language of Setswana, Healing Seminars, Marriage Seminars, Powerhouse Sports (after school faith/character based discipleship program for children), and an HIV Prevention Program (faith/character based) in Junior and Senior Secondary Schools. Also, Cogent farm is in its early development and Children of Promise Orphan Center is seeking licensing so that full-time care can be provided. A Teaching Outreach on YouTube is also available.

Project Updates

Children of Promise Orphan Center

The long-awaited opening of Children of Promise Orphan Center is now in sight. We have completed the installation of the solar power systems, and now wait for the occupancy and licensing permits! Please consider partnering with us to support the Center monthly!

Cogent Farm

Cogent Farm is a 44 hectare farm (109 acres) obtained to help provide long term sustainability for Children of Promise Orphan Center, as well as other community projects, and to help the needy on a greater scale. We now have 2 boreholes (wells) for crop irrigation, livestock and clean drinking water for our farm workers. Currently we await the installation of our solar pumping system for the irrigation, as well as our system for drawing water from the river. In December we plowed the first 10 acres (raw land) and we planted our dry crops; two and a half acres of Lab Lab (cattle fodder), and five acres of maize/corn. May God be glorified!

News and Events

Churches

Currently our churches are allowed to gather (up to 100 people), have two meetings per week, not to exceed two hours in length, but following strict covid-19 protocols. In addition to these two meetings, we are publishing teachings on-line on our new facebook page called Branch Ministries teachings for our different churches as well. We also launched a youtube channel with Bible teachings named "Branch Ministries International". God continues to do great things as we see people be saved, healed and growing in their faith. In the last few months, two of the village churches were able to secure plots of land. God is great and greatly to be praised!

We eagerly look forward to when our four congregations can celebrate together, have our next water baptism and a family fun day celebration!

Ministry and Itinerary

Teaching

We have posted many teachings on our Branch Ministries International YouTube channel to reach beyond our current sphere and encourage others in the Body of Christ. Also, we now post teachings on our facebook page titled "Branch Ministries teachings". We invite you to join us! These 5 to 20 minute teachings we believe will be a blessing to you.

Books

It is projected that Robert's first book titled The Gospel of Healing will be available on Amazon by mid May. Final editing is also taking place on his book titled Gods Blueprint for Marriage which will follow.

Bible Courses

Also, let us know if you would be interested in our online Branch Ministries International Bible Courses (BMIBC).

Evangelism

We look forward to getting evangelistic outreaches underway again soon. We are pursuing alternative methods of evangelism in the face of the current Covid-19 restrictions. We look forward to seeing what miracles will accompany the preaching of the Gospel and the souls that will come to Christ!
