About Me: (Ministry Info, Hobbies, Fav. Music etc.)
In 1980 the organisation was founded by its director, Howard Sands, with a burning desire to both win souls and encourage the church to be active overcomers in everyday life, fulfilling the Great Commission. Born on the Scripture found in Romans 10.15, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of them that bring good news ..." B.F.T.F. is based soundly on the Bible as the Word of God, historically correct, spiritually powerful and relevant for today. We believe that outside of Christ man is eternally lost and that Christ's substitutionary and sacrificial death on the cross of Calvary is the only way which man can find peace with God and eternal life; it is therefore necessary that this gospel be preached to all men, everywhere.
Howard graduated from Life Ministry Bible College, Melbourne in 1976. He founded B.F.T.F. whilst on the ministry team of the Christian Convention Centre at Mildura, Vic. He has been, salesman, sales manager, branch manager and managing director of various business enterprises, Howard was awarded an honours certificate stage 2 from the Life Underwriters Association of Australia in 1987, he completed his Bachelor of Business with a double major in Business Management and Marketing in 1994 and received the Advanced Diploma in Christian Ministry from Hope College Gold Coast in 2000. Howard is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God in NSW.
B.F.T.F. is currently involved in evangelism and leadership training in Asia and Africa, particularly, India and Indonesia, Uganda and Tanzania. Howard has taken many small teams there to minister in evangelistic crusades and leadership conferences. He has ministered in churches and outreach crusades across Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, U.S.A., U.K. U.A.E., Romania, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Malawi, Zambia, South Africa.
Howard believes that the most effective ministry is achieved both in and sent out from the local church. Howard & Joy lived for 7 years in Wagga Wagga, N.S.W. where their 2 children, Kylie & Joshua were both born. Joy graduated from Vision Bible College, Sydney, CRC Bible School Victoria & Psalmody. At Wagga, Howard acted as church administrator and Dean of Part Time Bible School for Wagga New Life Centre. Howard has been an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God in NSW Australia since 1993, and for 2½ years Howard & Joy were the founders/senior pastors of Canberra New Life Centre, AOG. He was a lecturer & founding board member of the Canberra Ministry Training College a multi denominational ministry training college (now Unity College). They were active at Riverlands Christian Church, Penrith NSW for over 11 years where Howard was the Missions Director and board member, Joy was the Senior Pastor’s PA for 7 years. They have since pastored an AOG church in Sydney’s north west and now minister through regular victory services, missions and itinerant ministry.
Howard was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity in Sept 2014 at Chennai, India from Good News International University.
Greatfull fo God for all that HE is using you and your ministry to do, i am sunk in that which we can do as a people to help the lost, there is so much work in the LORD vineyard that goes beyong the gathering of preachers online, i believe there is a lot more we can do in spreading this gospel by increasing our outreach, ministering to already won souls and mentaining their faith is just a part of the job. bless you

Thank you sir. Africa has been my visson in terms of evangelism . how do you intend to help ministers to work effectively in africa. Iam willing to work with you. are you already in africa?
I am greatfl to see people that have the heart forAfrica. Africa is now ripe for harvest,but we are still looking for more savants. Howard, you are welcome. we will like to work with you in Africa.
Hello Pastor, Inmy last mail to you iwas asking how are you going to working Africa, I can see you dont have office here in my cointry.
I have a number of ministries under my leadership and we are working on a simmilar idea for Africa. will you like to come to my country for a crusade and pastors conference in this year. Please do let me know God bless you
AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR INVITATION TO COMMENT ON THE GREAT COMMISSION IN AFRICA. IN FACT SIR, AFRICA NEED THE WORD OF GOD AS EVER. BECAUSE OF THE HARDSHIP PEOPLE GO THROUGH, THEY ARE EMBRACING ANY THING THAT GIVES THEM HELP.ALL THEY THINK ABOUT NOW A DAYS IS HOW TO SURVIVE. SO IF HE IS TO HURT HIS BROTHER OR SISTER TO SURVIVE HE DON'T CARE. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD IS MISSING. MOST OF OUR PREACHERS HAVE BECOME MOTIVATIONAL PREACHERS AND ALL WE HEAR ON THE RADIO AND TELEVISION IS PROSPERITY. THE REASON IS THAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO PROSPER. EVEN IF YOU ARE A REVELATIONAL PREACHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE MEMBERS COMING TO YOUR CHURCH. PEOPLE HAVE FORGOT THAT THE SON OF GOD WILLI BE COMING SOON.MANY OF OUR PREACHERS IN AFRICA NEED LEADERSHIP CONFERENCES AND THE PEOPLE NEED MORE CRUSADES TO PUT THEM ON THE PREPARATION LINE FOR THE RETURN OF THE BRIDE GROOM. AND MANY PASTORS ARE READY IN GHANA FOR THIS IF THE LORD PUT IT ON YOUR MIND TO COME HERE FOR CONFERENCES AND CRUSADES. ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR CONTACTING ME FOR MY OPINION I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.
Calverly greetings sir. Your vision for Africa is a mandate, I know and believe it must be fulfilled. Africa, especially Nigeria my country where I know very. We have a bundle of renowned ministers who can change the entire world in a shortest time but they are handcapped. We have multimillionaire ministers here but 95% of them dont even care to help Pastors under their church talk less of helping those in other churches. God knows the arears He want to use you in Africa. He will acomplish it.
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.The Gospel of our saviour must be preached at all cost irrespective of circumstances."GO YE THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES"is what the MASTER HIMSELF commanded before He was cought up into heaven.MARK 16:15-19. So man of God you are most welcome.Thank you!(SAMBERWOOD)
Greetings and love to you in Jesus' Name. I got your message and I am delighted about your passion for souls. What a beautiful name for your ministry.
I think there is a lot we can do together for the Lord. With time I will let you know more about my work. I shall certainly love for you to visit Accra-Ghana soon for outreach ministry, seminars and conferences for leaders. God bless all your efforts.

This is what God revealed to me;"I SAW THE SEA DRIED UP LIKE WALKING PATH.AND BEHOLD,SUDDENLLY,THE SEA STARTED FILLING-UP FROM EASTING DIRECTION WITH MIGHTY RUSHING WIND". Now this is what it means.The "mighty rushing wind". Represent,A great catastrophy,agony and panic that the world has never experienced in human history.And the "dried up sea like pathway".Represent,the incapability power and strenght of the great nations to control or overcome it.WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS.AND IS TIME FOR GOD'S PEOPLE TO RISE AND SOUND THE TRUMPET LOUD FOR EVERY TONGUES,TRIBES,LANGUGES AND NATIONS TO COME TO THE AWARENESS OF THE GREAT DANGER AND DESTRUCTION TO COME.THIS IS NOT THE TIME WE SHOULD SEEK FOR PROPETIES OR AQUIRE WEALTH.BUT SEEK THE LORD.FOR THAT'S THE ONLY WAY MAN CAN EXCAPE FROM THE GREAT DESTRUCTION THAT IS TO COME.the bible says in (Romans 1:18-20);FOR THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN,WHO SUPPRESS THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,BECAUSE WHAT MAY BE KNOWN OF GOD IS MANIFEST IN THEM,FOR GOD HAS SHOWN IT TO THEM.FOR SINCE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD HIS INVISIBLE ATTRIBUTES ARE CLEARLY SEAN,BEING UNDERSTOOD BY THE THINGS THAT ARE MADE,EVEN HIS ETERNAL POWER AND GODHEAD,SO THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE. God help us all..AMEN(EVG.CHARLES SAMBERWOOD]
