My Personal Testimony

I grew up outside of Pontiac, Michigan. Parents divorced when I was three years old, I began to see that I was lacking an important part of a family...a father. I would hear about how the other kids would do things with their fathers and I could not relate to them. I had a wonderful mother, a Christian and everything that a mother could possibly be. The only thing that she could not be was a father. I began to choose friends from broken families. The world would call us problem children. I began to use drugs at an early age and drink and smoke. At the age of seventeen a Christian girl witnessed to me about my savior Jesus Christ and God’s love for me. I saw my sin and asked God to forgive me and to come into my life. I got saved that night, and called to preach. It has been quit a journey from that day. No one ever told me in the beginning the importance of knowing what God’s word has to say, or the importance of prayer and having a good church. Because I did not know these things I gradually began to go back into a worldly lifestyle. But in 1981 I called out to the Lord and he gloriously touched my life again. I have bought the books, videos, and cassettes trying to find truth. I found out that there is very much error out there.

I began to do crusades in Central and South America with a friend and saw the wonderful work of God take place in people’s heart. The Lord called me to Key West, Florida and I have started a ministry here. I have preached in the Baptist, Assemblies of God, Church of God, Presbyterian, Four Square churches. I have preached on the streets, in the jails, in convalescence homes and retirement homes. I now preach the message of the cross. I have a desire to share truth with people through teaching, preaching and now through the Internet. Please keep me in your prayers. I hope that these avenues will help someone not make the same mistakes that I have made.  I hope it will pick someone up that has fallen along the way and become an encouragement to someone who is struggling.

May the Lord bless you today and always.
