The Open Door Encounter

The Way, The Truth, The Life

By Rupert Henry

Overview

From the opening pages, Rupert Henry- affectionately known as Bredda Rups Invites us into a childhood shaped by rhythms, colors, and Ingenuity of Jamaica. His story begins not with privilege, but with imagination: kites flown during school recess, toy cars fashioned from polish can lids and mop sticks, drums beaten from paint cans and coconut barks beneath a backyard tree. Alongside that playful creativity was a quieter formation-watching his father, a master shoe designer, working faithfully at a drawing table. Those early moments formed more than memories; they forged a world view where discipline and Joy, craft and calling, faith and creativity all belong together. Wade Mumm, PhD Pastor, Greeneway Church (Evangelist Rupert Henry's pastor)

Description

From the opening pages, Rupert Henry- affectionately known as Bredda Rups Invites us into a childhood shaped by rhythms, colors, and Ingenuity of Jamaica. His story begins not with privilege, but with imagination: kites flown during school recess, toy cars fashioned from polish can lids and mop sticks, drums beaten from paint cans and coconut barks beneath a backyard tree. Alongside that playful creativity was a quieter formation-watching his father, a master shoe designer, working faithfully at a drawing table. Those early moments formed more than memories; they forged a world view where discipline and Joy, craft and calling, faith and creativity all belong together. This book is worth reading because it is honest. Bredda Rups does not tell a polished success story detached from struggle; he tells a testimony shaped by grace. Readers will trace a journey from humble beginnings to a life of artistic excellence, teaching, design, music and global gospel ministry. Along the way, we see how mentors, spiritual fathers, and obedient, perseverance shaped a man who learned to steward His gifts for God's purposes. His reflections remind us that vocation is not accidental, and that God often develops His servants quietly, patiently, and overtime. Most of all, this book will challenge you to listen to God's voice in your own seasons of transition. The repeated council to "Finish Well" echoes throughout these pages-not as a slogan, but as a spiritual posture rooted in humility, obedience, and trust in Christ. as you read, you will be encouraged to open your heart to Jesus, to value Godly relationships, to walk faithfully through the doors God places before you. Bredda Rups story is ultimately an invitation: to reflect, to believe, and to live your own testimony in a way that honors, the One who is the way, the truth, and the Life. Wade Mumm, PhD Pastor, Greeneway Church (Evangelist Rupert Henry's pastor)

About The Author

Dearly, beloved. My name is Rupert D. Henry, affectionately known as Bredda Rups, I'm an evangelist, missionary, preacher, fine artist, recording artist and author. I was born on the beautiful Caribbean island of Jamaica, W.I., I'm now residing in Central Florida with my wife and family. I thank God for the opportunity to write this book entitled "The Open Door Encounter - The Way • The Truth • The Life" The soul purpose of this book is to encourage God's people, the body of Christ, leading souls to Almighty God from every nation, age and tongue that have not yet accepted Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Opening the door of a sinner's heart so that they can encounter the Open Door of the way, the truth, and the life through Jesus Christ, surrendering, submitting and receiving His gift of Salvation. He is waiting and knocking at the heart's door of every sinner to let Him in. I pray that the Holy Spirit will anoint the writing and the pages of this book, touching the spiritual heart of the lost and broken, compelling them to invite Jesus Christ into their lives. Christ is ready to love, deliver, set free and to save all people from certain eternal death and sin! The "I AM" Jesus Christ, is here to sup with us, teaching us through the Holy Spirit to be free from the ways of bandage, sin and death that can eternally enslaved unsaved persons in hell. My hope is, by the words of my testimony and life, that it will inspire the unbeliever in Jesus Christ to walk through the Open Door of salvation and to be saved. I pray that the words of this book will impact lives to be free, having a divine encounter with the one and only true door of salvation, the way, the truth, the life, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I want to thank my beautiful wife, my two wonderful daughters, my parents, my biological brothers, family and in-laws. Thanks also to teachers, ministers, business partners, ministry partners, and especially my current pastor, Pastor Wade Mumm of GWC in Orlando Florida for his prayers, encouragement and support for me in writing this book.
