About Me
I have had quite a journey in my faith.
By the time I was 22 years old I thought my life was spent. Because of the reckless way I had lived my life I was convinced that my life was over… that there was no hope for me.
Jesus Christ lifted me up and out of the mess that my life had become. I realize that others have had other experiences that helped them reclaim their life, but as for me, Jesus Christ saved my life and set me free!
I have given my life to help others in the name of Jesus. I was a small church pastor for several years. Now I serve in a Mission. I help men of the streets find their way back to living their lives with dignity and purpose.
I share the gospel with them because I know it can make a difference in their lives as it has in mine.
