Statement of Faith
After several life changing events, I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in 1988. From that moment, God has placed His indelible mark on my life. God has allowed me to plant seeds in others, which have caused them to seek the Living God. I believe as I lead others to Christ, I am to feed them the Bread of Life. I became a licensed minister under the tutelage of Kingdom of God Ministries in 2006.
