S05E030, Halloween – Good or Bad?!? Andy B 2 Minute Video
Halloween – is it a good thing or a bad thing to celebrate Halloween?
I’ve heard both sides of the argument!
I’ve listened to church ministers of the gospel who say we should celebrate it, because it is nothing to fear since we are Christians; putting on a Halloween celebration is good for the church to do as it shows how churches are still relevant for a modern world.
I’ve listened to church ministers of the gospel who say we should never celebrate it, because to do so is invite evil into our churches and into our lives.
So what do I think? What is the position of the BerryBunch.family Ministry – that reaches out to families all around the world? [READ MORE]

I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I DON'T CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN!!!
- Because Halloween, in all its uses, customs and traditions, exalts the kingdom of darkness.
- Because GOD is light, and in HIM there is no darkness. 1 John 1: 5
- Because JESUS is the light of the world. John 8:12
- Because GOD, in CHRIST, has DELIVERED me from the power of darkness. Colossians 1:13
- Because he that follows JESUS shall not walk in darkness. John 8:12
- Because I do NOT want to give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:27
- Because I do NOT want to have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. Ephesians 5:11
- Because I want to PUT ON the ARMOUR of LIGHT. Romans 13:12
I read this yesterday and thought it was utterly brilliant, and superbly penned - so I'm posting it here in full, with permission from Philo Trust and Canon J John.
If you're on the fence, or if you're not, about whether you should be celebrating Halloween, or even what our response should be, I'd like to commend this article to you.

S05E027, Swimming Pool Trinity, Part 1 of 3, Andy B 2 Minute Video
It’s hard to explain the Trinity. For a start it isn’t something you’ll find in your bibles. But the members of The Trinity are very obviously there: it is, at its heart, our human way of seeking to explain the relationship between God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I’ve heard that relationship explained using water as having 3 separate states (gas, liquid, solid), yet still all still being water at their core even if they do look a bit different. I’ve also heard it as a yoghurt being made up of three parts, although that attempt at explaining The Trinity never made much sense to me if I’m honest. [READ MORE]

S02E005, Stubborn as a Mule, Story Time with Dave the Dog
Balaam was a man who had a pretty smart donkey. His donkey, actually, was smart enough to even try and save his owner - Balaam - from a few potential disasters, which Balaam did not appreciate!
Here we have Dave the Dog, and Jo, helping us understand the story a little better. You can read the rest of the story in Numbers 22:21-39.

S05E026, Doing Nothing on Purpose, Andy B 2 Minute Video
Are you any good at resting?
I’m never going to be accused of being lazy. But I could, far more easily, be accused of not resting very well.
If I’m in bed I’m either asleep or pretty ill. Simply lazing about does not come naturally to me, so it can be hard for me to properly rest when I do get the opportunity.
While in Spain my wife and I were not coping with what many other British holiday makers were doing – sitting by the pool seemingly filling the time between breakfast and dinner, day after day.
We do not do well at not doing anything. But, doing nothing on purpose is something very different - there is a world of difference between the two, and we all need times when we can deliberately, and intentionally, do nothing. [READ MORE]

S05E025, The Gift That Isn’t, Andy B 2 Minute Video
It’s good to give gifts to others, and it can be great to receive them. But, some gifts, simply are not what they appear to be and can create more issues than they solve.
We’ve had gifts on both side of that coin - and I’m sure you have too. Many have changed our life for good, even if just for one day. Others, well, they ended up in the bin where they belonged.
We’ve got a whole stack of logs to chop up and a neighbour let us borrow his safe chainsaw. It’s a great idea, but it is rather flawed and ended up at our local rubbish dump. He had asked for some money as he was happy to sell it, and we had offered to buy it. However, we had a go with it and found it didn’t work. Hence why it ended up at the tip!
Some gifts really are not what you think they will be. Some, truly are. [READ MORE]

This is Torben Sondergaard, our brother who is currently sitting in a Florida jail without charges. Could it be that this ministry is the reason Torben is in jail? I think so. You can see the reality of this deliverance ministry in this video.
I Torben's his coolness. He continues to share the gospel with others while doing the deliverance ministry.
Soon the last leaves have fallen off the trees. We're heading towards winter here in Finland. I pray this winter won't be as cold as last winter, since the cost of electricity has increased several times. It will cost us a little more than one thousand euros a month, if we will have the same temperatures. That's too much, since we have a high inflation going on when everything is getting more expensive, but we still have the same income. I have already heard of Finns that have to sell their houses, because they know they won't be able to afford to keep their homes.
S02E004, Bright Eyes, Story Time with Dave the Dog
Jo and Dave the Dog talk Moses coming down the mountain from seeing God. But, having been so close to God, in the real world, his face shone.
This threw up quite a few questions from Dave, which Jo answered as best she could!
Read the rest of this amazing account from scripture in Exodus 34:29-35.

Thanks so much for your prayers for my Mom. TWO HEALINGS TO PRAISE GOD FOR!
I have been praying with my Mom every day, and God healed her roommate’s broken leg! There had been no improvement and she was at risk of having her leg removed, and God worked a miracle!
My Mom was having stomach issues again, every time that happens I pray for her, and it happened again last night ... this time when I prayed, God instantly healed her! She had her hand on her stomach, looked up at me with surprise in her eyes and said “What did you do?!” Of course, God did it ... not me. PRAISE GOD!
PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR HER MIND TO BE RESTORED. I have no wish for a legal battle with my sister and niece/niece’s husband over her. I wish them no ill... I just want to take care of my Mom... please pray that God deals with their heart motives.
If my Mother’s mind is restored, she can make her wishes known and that will be legally honored. 🙏💞🙏 Thank you so much!!!
