Born and raised in Indiana, I was introduced to the United Pentecostal Church as a young boy. My great-grandmother actually donated land to a church so they could build their building. Growing up I can remember somehow talking to a lady who lives close to us about church when I was approx. 7 years old, I told her where I went to Sunday School and she told me how we didn’t have the right teaching according to the Bible. At that time we were living in Southern Indiana, there was a dear old Saint who used to baby sit us and she was at our home often. On this particular day, I ran home and told her what the lady had told me about our church teaching wrong. I told this Saint and she shared the truth with me and gave me a tract. I ran back to the lady and told her what I had learned and gave her the track, this happened several times that day. I didn’t win this lady to the truth that I know of, however I did realize after looking back that witnessing was something God wants to put in every soul even at a very young age.

As I grew older I didn’t stick with serving God, I did all the wrong things a person could do. I was deep in sin and continued to walk in disobedience. It was not until I was at the age of 19 that I tried to turn to God. At this time in my life I was truly hungry for God. When I received the Holy Ghost I got it just like the Bible says! It said when you receive the Holy Ghost ye shall become witnesses! I really started reading everything I could about the word of God and our doctrine and other doctrines. I was fully convinced that the oneness of God is the total truth and you MUST be baptized in Jesus name to make it to heaven!

At first I was not skilled in witnessing I made some mistakes by telling people things that would later be understood as meat, when they were babies…but with a lot of practice I began to see fruits from my labor!

Through out my walk with God I have fallen, I have back slid and walked away from this truth. One thing about living for God, when you start reaching the lost you are going to fight every devil out there. I didn’t really realize why it was so hard to stay in church and serve God till many years later, when I listened to a message by an Apostolic preacher, where he explained that the angels are talking about us, and the devil, being a fallen angel can hear what God is talking about our destiny. The devil hears this and attacks you based on your anointing. I really loved God and wanted to serve him, but I always fell short. Recently I also learned the power of prayer. My Pastor taught on prayer and how to implement a prayer guide into your prayer time. This changed my walk with God forever. If you struggle with prayer, get a prayer guide it will help you learn to pray and how to truly communicate with God. There is a reason the Apostles said “teach us to pray”!

Today my wife Holly and I are traveling across the Country holding revivals and winning souls! We have seen many mighty works of God and have been able to help others learn how to reach out to every person! When we arrive at a church for our revival we begin by hitting the streets reaching for every soul, we have seen many baptized in the middle of the night, many receive the Holy Ghost out on the streets! You can see some of this in our Photo Section of our web site.

Personal evangelism is the key to the end time revival! I know it is Gods will to see this come to pass…God hath not given us the spirit of fear, and fear is what stops people from witnessing! Stir up the gift that is in you, cast down those imaginations and win the lost!

In Jesus Name!
