My story with God
I used to be a drug dealer and a gang banger growing up in the city of chicago. I was constantly in trouble with the law until a Chicago Police Officer witnessed to me. My life was nothing but dysfunction and chaos. I finally gave my life to the Lord especially when the Lord used this officer who cared about me and my going to hell. I went to a Christian University overseas and returned back to the US to finish up my Doctorates in Church Management and Church Administration. Without the love of Jesus I would not be where I am today. I acknowledge that without him I am nothing but a lost soul. The Lord used me to create a missions program to build up the kingdom in 3 ways. 1.) Food Pantry/Soup Kitchen 2.) Outreach Evangelism in the form of discipleship and meeting the needs of an impoverished countries. 3.) Training future leaders of the church to be effective and wise through several resources that keep the kingdom growing and duplicating.
Other stuff about me:
My blessed wife Aileen works side by side with me and others to develop grants, fundraising programs, and other financial outlets to keep the ministry alive. I am glad that God is on our side. Not that this has any relevance, I am a Half Filipino-Half Guyanese (my mom is from Georgetown Guyana). My wife is also Half Filipino and Half Haitian. We honor God for his heritage in our lives through his son Jesus Christ.

    Finally back from India and full of jet lag. Just wanted to say God Bless to my Brothers and Sisters in the Lord.

    Hebrews 3:6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

    Hebrews 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

    Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

    Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end.

    Father God we come before you and thank you for the wonderful salvation that is ours through Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit help us to hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. Help us to us hold fast our confession and draw near with confidence to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in our time of need and may we realize the full assurance of hope we have until the end.
    In the name of Jesus we pray.

    In the love of Jesus
