Welcome to the Desert Warrior Ministries Crowdfunding Campaign.  My name is Bert Amsing and, together with my wife, Veronica, we want to thank you for your interest in this ministry.

Desert Warrior Ministries is an idea, the idea that in the desert, in difficult times, we can learn, by God´s grace, to become warriors.

Jesus Christ is my Desert Warrior.  He fought for me in the desert of his suffering,  pain and hell on the cross.  The Bible says that while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me.  He seems to have a preference for the losers, the lost, the least and the last.  What others discard, he gathers up.  When we are weak, he is strong.  In fact, it is when we are weak, and know it, and learn to depend entirely on him, that his strength in us is revealed.

I don´t understand it all yet but the past five years has been filled with furious scribblings and thinking, reading and praying and now it is time to share it with you.

This crowdfunding campaign is specifically for launching our first book which is called Jesus was an Alien (and Other Stories of Faith).  Yes, I know it´s a crazy title but you´ll like it.  It is a collection of ten short stories about God and his perspective on our lives and I want to share it with you.
