The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel

I have a love for all people which allows me to be a servant of God

For over 32 years, I served our country in the U.S. Army. Originally from the panhandle of Florida, Jackson County, the town of Marianna, I started my military career in 1987 and my first of six deployments was to the war in the Persian Gulf. The rest of the deployments were in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Haiti.

Currently, I live in Chester, VA and I’m employed by the Department of Defense. I’m married to my beautiful wife, Reinette, for over 31 years, and we have two adult children, Antonio and Katrice, along with two grandchildren, Isaiah and Maya. On this journey called life, I became a soldier in the Army of the Lord, receiving salvation and the Holy Ghost in Seoul Korea, and I preached my first “trial” sermon at the age of 29. The Lord has allowed me to minister in a number of states across the country and even overseas in Germany.

At an early age, God was dealing with me. I remember when I reached high school I would be asking my classmates “what is love?” When I received Christ in Korea, the answer was overwhelmingly and powerfully obvious (GOD IS LOVE!!) He engulfed me with his LOVE and I was able to clearly answer the question I’d posed to so my classmates. I have taught numerous Bible studies in Iraq and stateside at lunch time while serving in the military. The studies varied in titles; i.e. Serious Followers of Christ (SFC), and 30 Minutes of Truth. It was through these studies God spoke “A More Mature Message” to me. This led me to the acronym 3MCWisdom Center – To God be the glory!!

I am currently a member of Truth and Deliverance Ministries, Petersburg, VA, serving as an Elder with Pastor Benjamin Shaw Sr. in doing the work of the Lord.
