The most important thing to know about a Pastor is his walk of faith. If he doesn't have it, why follow him? Some call it 'My Testimony'.

I was born three months premature in a time when premature babies did not survive. This was the first miracle.

My father was an upright man, that taught me to be the same. He was related through his mother to Braveheart. One day in my pre-teens, a house blew up up the street from us. My friend, urged me to pilfer it with him. I took something but through it under my

friends porch. I knew it was wrong. As I rode my bike down the hill and into our driveway (something I had done hundreds of times) as I hit the curbing, the bike flipped over in mid-air and I landed on my back on our neighbors lawn. Unhurt but I heard this voice, which I ignored. It said "I'm saving you for something."

In my teen years, I had been attending Church regularly with my father. It came time to decide whether to attend Confirmation Class or not. As I decided, something very hypocritical happened to my father. I decided, if they could not leave the Church Building and do this, it was not the Church for me. So my search began.

Later in life, I went out with the wrong girl. She taught me french kissing. I got Infectous Mononeucleosus Ensephalitis, which is a virus of the brian. It put me in a coma for 72 hrs. 7 out of ten people die, 3 out of ten of those left, have brain damage. (my friends kid me about the brain damage). Again I heard this voice but ignored it, saying "I'm saving you for something".

Just short of 21, I gave my girlfriend, an engagement ring instead of buying tires for the front of my car. I hit a tree and broke my back. Again that voice. I, again, ignored it.

As I searched for the real God, I experienced all sorts of Churches, Denominations, situations etc. etc. I was even baptized twice, just in case. I went with my first family to a Church for 16 yrs. but when divorce came from my wife, I asked for help, and they turned their backs on me. I knew this was not right, but it caused me to dig deeper into God. I even thought of taking my life, but I heard this VERY PROMINENT voice, this time say in a thunderous tone "THOU SHALL NOT KILL". That did that, and forced me into a deep surrender to God. I started a TV Ministry at this time, as prompted by my new deeper surrender and finally hearing the voice of God.

I had been going to a men's breakfast for all types of Christian men, and the Northville Baptist Church became my home, and Pastor George Britt and his lovely wife Dell, my mentors and care givers of sorts. They all loved me through my trials and I realized that love expressed was the most important part of Christianity. 

After seven years, God caused another ready made family to come into my life. Again with two daughters to finish raising. The difference was the amount of love these girls had for me (and still do today). With this new family, we had to find a Church closer to us. It became the Mountain Church of God. The TV MInistry grew as did other ministries that I was doing, and without campaigning for it, the Mountain Church of God surprised me by ordaining me a "Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ". They were used at a tool of God in this respect. Two weeks later, I heard this voice, which I was now getting accustomed to, say "It is Finished". Well, I said, I know God, that you said that on the cross. He said " No!, No! It is Finished". I instantly was shown the previous times in my life when He had spared me and I realized that He was saving me to be a Minister. 

Today, the Mountain Church of God and I are separated in a situation beyond my control where I tried to stand up for Scriptural application in the acts of the leadership. God has indicated, that now, I must be the leader, instead of a position of being 'second man'. This took a summer 'in the desert with Jesus' experience for me to accept. 

Our first Worship Service experience was on Nov. 18th 2012 and has indicated God's Blessings upon me for this venture.
