I was born in Leesburg, FL. I later moved to St Petersburg, FL, and from there to Bradenton, FL. I grew up with my two brothers and eleven sisters.
I attended Manatee High School where I maintained good grades. I got along well with others and worked an after school job.
In 1980 I went to work at Manatee Memorial Hospital. I stayed there for four years. After leaving there I worked for the City of Bradenton about fourteen years.
I met and married my beautiful wife Flora in 1981. She was born and raised in Bradenton and attended school here also. She moved to Boston, MA, where she lived eight years and worked as a telephone operator. Upon returning to Florida, she got a job at D&S color where she was employed in the photo business for twenty-two years. We will celebrate 22 years of marriage in August, 2003. We have no children.
While working for the City of Bradenton, I was injured on the job and had to retire. While recuperating from back surgery, God gave me the vision for the "Living By Faith Mobile Bible Study Ministry". The vision of our ministry is to take the Word of God to people who are unable to attend Bible study classes, for whatever reasons. My wife and I currently go to several assisted living facilities in the Bradenton and Sarasota areas, teaching the Word of God to the residents. It is a very fulfilling and rewarding experience. To God be the glory!
My wife and I attended Revealing Truth Ministries in Tampa, FL, under Pastors Greg and Debra Powe for several years. From there God led us to Consuming Fire Deliverance Ministry in Sarasota. While there we were able to minister to the homeless and learn a lot about the deliverance ministry.
God has now connected us with Joel 2:15. We were licensed through this ministry School and currently also co-pastors at FAITH Int'l Christian Center. I am also Vice President of Joel 2:15 INC.
We continue to take the Gospel out to the people during the week and we fellowship at our church on Sundays.
Our will is to do the will of God. Where He leads we will follow. Pray for us as we pray for you, and come and visit us when in Bradenton area!
