Victorious Life Fellowship of Clearwater, Florida

Getting to Know Us

We are Henry and Pam Reyenga, married since 1983. We have five children and sixteen grandchildren. Both of us are graduates of Dordt College. Henry was a graduate of Calvin Seminary in 1987. Henry was ordained in the Christian Reformed Church in 1988 and with the Christian Leaders Alliance since 2014. Together we planted four churches and pastored one existing church. In 2001, the vision of Christian Leaders was born, and we founded this ministry, formally recognized as a religious non-profit in 2005. In 2012, we left employment as a church minister and now minister as a fellowship soul center minister in a bi-vocational voluntary calling.

Our Coming to Christ and Calling to Ministry:

We have walked with God since our early youth. Since first courting in the early 1980s, we discerned God calling us to ministry.

Our marriage passage was:

Luke 6:37-38  Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

After our marriage, we grew through the mentorship of many notable pastors and teachers. In our first year of marriage, one of those teachers, Rhea Zandee, introduced Pam to the Victorious Life in Christ. This daily abiding Life in Christ was foundational to set us on a path of daily abiding and victory in Christ as a called couple in ministry. This perspective grounded us through life’s journey and fueled ongoing growth into maturity as Christians over sin and Satanic attack.

We then enjoyed decades of influential mentors who spoke into our lives to foster more growth and ministry! Praise God!

Our Calling to this Soul Center

Inspired by a victorious life connection in Jesus Christ, we minister to those in our lives as time permits. We are grateful that the Christian Leaders Alliance has called and equipped us to minister at this fellowship soul center.

So as volunteer ministers, we minister to our community. We are also members of Harborside Christian Church, and we invite people to attend Harborside Christian Church.

Together, we are interested in helping people walk in a victorious life in Jesus Christ. We believe that the souls of men and women are hungry for a spiritual connection with God, and that relationship is found in Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who We Serve:

While we are busy serving at Christian Leaders Ministries, we love to minister to those God brings into our lives in our condo village, golf course connections, and through serendipitous meetings.

Often, we are called to minister to those connected to the Christian Leaders Ministries.

Our Ministry:

We enjoy raising ministers! Henry is a ministry training professor at Christian Leaders College and Institute in many areas of ministry, including People Smart for Ministry, Pastoral Care and Marriage, Church, and Ministry. He has also taught in many mini-courses. We have taught mini-courses together. Recently, we completed a four-credit college course called “Sex Education and Conversations.”

We share a passion for sharing the faith with those who do not know Jesus Christ or are exploring the Christian faith. Henry enjoys ministering to individuals and families he meets at his golf clubs.

Souls Involved: 25-50

We minister through prayer, Bible study leadership, mentoring, and hospitality. We minister to family members. Further, we have invited many families to Harborside Christian Church, and many have started coming. We have done marriage counseling and post-divorce counseling. Henry has counseled men in accountability ways. Henry also is one of the Bible study leaders at a local Bible study.

Getting better acquainted

I’m Jerry Essex, living in Jenison Michigan.  I am married to the young lady I met in undergraduate school, Phyllis, and we have kept our commitment to each other for 59 years. I thank God every day for the blessing of loving and caring for Phyllis since she has suffered three strokes. We are closer than ever, and I am fully aware of how God brings us through deep waters to learn more and be shaped to become His servant for others. In addition, we provided elder care for my mother and my in-law parents during their declining years. Later in my professional career I provided personalized training for assisted living, nursing home and other professional providers.

Ministry in the lives of older adults and their caregivers

I love finding encouragement for older adults and their caregivers in the Bible. Of course, there are many references I could share here; but here are some examples of the comfort our souls can find.

Psalms 131:2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul…

In the New Testament we find more evidence of how God provides for peace such as Jesus and the Soul.

Matthew 11:28-30 – “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls…

During more than 40 years of my career, much of my experience included managing and teaching in mental health programs, finally working for about a decade in the field of gerontology, teaching caregivers to work effectively with older adults. The highlights of my work are in teaching groups and individuals how to engage others with respect, honesty, empathy, and communication skills to show care and understanding.  Jesus taught us to be known by how we love one another, and this was a primary guiding  mantra for my teaching and helping years.

Chaplain Jerry Essex

You are so loved John 3:16
