What is God Made Self Driven? |
It is a Catholic-Christian ministry that allows Dustin to share Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and help develop a missionary heart in everyone. Dustin's foundation is rooted in Catholicism, but he operates out of God's binding love for unity. Therefore, He has partnered in the past with other denominations to reach the multitudes.
A unique aspect of his ministry is that He invites others to partner or give aid through their time, talent, and financial resources to continue his work toward a global outreach. |
WHY DOES DUSTIN DO WHAT HE DOES? |
"In our times now, more than ever, people are being misguided by modern culture and technology.
The internal brokenness in people is the silent killer that is destroying lives. We have so many avenues to bury our pain or hide our vices that we are silently destroying the life of joy God promises us. I can no longer sit back as we are constantly losing our youth to suicides, families to divorce, and communities to hate. We must give the world the Truth, the saving love of God, and His purpose for all of us." - Dustin Bertrand |
HOW WILL DUSTIN REACH OTHERS? |
My approach to evangelization is the E.T.A framework.
Encounter: It is important to foster an atmosphere where the person of Jesus can be encountered in an intimate way either by preaching, testifying, exhorting, witnessing in love or gifts of the Holy Spirit. Teach: It is essential once an individual encounters Christ, that Truth becomes the bonding agent of the encounter. Thankful for the history of the Church, Catholic Tradition and Sacred Scriptures gives us an abundance of that Truth. Accompany: Following the model and command of Jesus to make disciples of all nations. Believers are to accompany each other in their journeys as we bear each other’s burdens. No man is an island and we have an obligation to help form disciples once we have become one! “I have taken this framework in combination with the gifts God has given me and implemented them during conferences, retreats, missions, presentations and discipleship. The experience is I have seen supernatural fruit in many lives and humbled to be used by God in this endeavor! The Holy Spirit is what fosters the efficacy of this framework and devotion to the power of the Spirit is a non-negotiable in all the ministries work. “ -Dustin Bertrand |
