What is Discovering A Better Life?
Let me introduce myself. My name is Ron Bainbridge and for the past 42 years I have been preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in Australia. At present I am a minister with the South Coast church of Christ in Albany, Western Australia. During the past 28 years I have been privileged to co-ordinate a media ministry offering messages of hope and encouragement through both radio and written articles. For many years my column has appeared each week in numerous newspapers throughout Australia

The primary aim of the Discovering A BETTER LIFE articles is to make available positive messages of hope and encouragement to help men and women find hope and meaning for their lives by empathizing with their needs, hurts, and successes. Today, entire families in many cities and rural areas of our nation are obtaining very little satisfaction out of life. In fact, many with whom I 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, I am 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. My wife (Moya), and myself, are 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. Moya and I want each of you who visit our website to experience God's wonderful love. In Him you are safe - more safe than anywhere you could ever be!

The messages we share through written articles are centered in providing emotional and spiritual support on an entirely non-denominational basis. The hundreds of Letters, Phone calls, Faxes, and Emails we receive each year, clearly indicate that some special needs are being met through what we are privileged to share.

A Better Life Ministries also provides and distributes, (at no cost to you), radio broadcasts and audio cassettes as well as printed material. We genuinely pray that the information we shall be sharing through this website will enrich your life. We welcome your comments or questions. Click here to email us.

In making changes with the Discovering a Better Life web site, we will be putting our messages into various topics or categories so that they can be easier to find.
