A Better LIFE Ministries is dedicated to helping people find Hope in a committed relationship with God through Jesus Christ. My name is Ron Bainbridge, the Coordinator of A BETTER LIFE MINISTRIES. I was Born in 1938, in Perth Western Australia and graduated from the Sunset International Bible Institute (SIBI) -- (1966-1968).

Since graduating from SIBI and returning to Australia in May 1968, I have been involved in establishing and developing five different congregations of the Church of Christ in Western Australia. Three of those went on to install elders. My work has involved preaching, teaching, youth work, frail-aged care, and a Cancer Caring ministry which has seen me serving as a Pastoral Counsellor with the Albany Palliative Care team for a period of five years.

At present, my wife Moya and I are serving our Lord with THE BRIDGE Christian Fellowship in Albany, Western Australia, which is the largest state in Australia (covering an area of 1,000,000 square miles).

DISCOVERING A BETTER LIFE

For many years, I have been involved in an extensive media outreach which uses newspaper, radio programs, and the Discovering A BETTER LIFE website. The primary aim of our website is to make available the messages of hope and encouragement that are already being distributed in numerous newspapers throughout Australia. I edit a regular weekly column called “Discovering A BETTER LIFE” which has appeared in up to 25 different secular newspapers throughout Australia. Hundreds of responses are received from these articles each year and thousands of pieces of gospel literature are being mailed out throughout Australia and all over the world. Hundreds of men and women have also enrolled in Bible Correspondence Courses, which has resulted in many people being taught about Jesus, many baptisms, and numerous restorations.

Through our A Better Life Ministries website, we are honoured to introduce spiritually inspiring links that communicate the wonderful love of Jesus, along with the Joy and Peace that He so deeply desires to share with all men and women throughout the world. We genuinely pray that many will find inspiration, hope and encouragement as you investigate these sites.

The Discovering A BETTER LIFE web site makes available positive messages of hope and encouragement to help men and women find joy and meaning for their lives as we empathize with their needs, hurts, and successes. Today, entire families in many cities and rural areas of our nation and throughout the world are obtaining very little satisfaction out of life. In fact, many with whom we counsel have difficulty in dealing with interpersonal problems. They are often anxious, depressed and sometimes anti-social, even to the point of outright hostility! Some are even suicidal. However, we are convinced that many people who are burdened by these worries can be helped to live courageous lives in an insecure and discouraging society, if only they are offered some positive encouragement.

The world we live in can sometimes be a pretty tough and cold place and it's often hard to feel safe and loved in an environment where most people fight for their own survival. Discovering a Better Life Ministries is personally committed to helping men and women live courageous lives in an increasingly insecure and discouraging world. We believe that if you know the living God in an intimate way, He can provide for you a place of comfort and safety where you can be yourself and know that you are loved as you are. God doesn't harm you, nor does He demand anything from you in order to receive His love. In fact, He is the only place where you can feel totally safe and wanted, where you know that you count and are special - very special. We want each of you who visit our website to experience God's wonderful love. In Him you are safe - safer than anywhere you could ever be!
