In 1975, at the age of 12, I received my calling into the ministry by the Lord. During this time, I followed other ministers to tent revivals, Brush Arbor meetings, house prayer meetings, and various churches as they preached. When the opportunity presented itself, I would stand up in these meetings and give my testimony of what God had done for me. Three years later, I left my call at the age of 15 to pursue my interests and goals. Living this life was one of misery and mistakes, but through it all, God protected me. In 1995, during a Pentecostal revival service in San Diego, California, I renewed my dedication, experience, and call to the Lord and returned to the ministry. Two years later, I received my ordination and began Travelling 4 Christ Ministries, performing outreach ministry to homeless shelters, prisons, senior living centers as well as on street corners. During this time, I was married, and my wife and children were a massive part of my ministry. Still, in 2008 we went our separate ways, but my service to the Lord and his people continues today.
Today, I am currently an assistant to the Pastor of a Baptist church. Part of my duties is assisting the media department as well as the public relations department. With the assistance of the PR department, I create the weekly church announcement media. With the media department during the COVID pandemic, I assist in setting up the cameras for the virtual services to be placed on social media for the church members and others to view. I also travel to other churches of all faith, beliefs, and denominations and wherever the Holy Spirit leads and guides me, speaking boldly as the spirit gives utterance.
In 2010, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. Nine years later, I graduated with my Master's of Divinity Degree with a concentration in Pastoral Care and Counseling. From 2018 to 2020, I completed my internship and the year-long Chaplain Residency program earning five units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at a Level One trauma hospital. With the outbreak of COVID in March 2020, I remained at the hospital as a temporary hospital Chaplain until August.
Acts 2:38 (NRSV) - Peter said to them, “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 7:55 But he [Stephen], being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
Though there be many denominations and churches, we need unity through Jesus Christ, for there is no other way to God, our Father.
Ephesians 4:1-6
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
