I
began going after Jesus around August 1996 and have continued to zealously
run after Him from that time on. Here
are some of the things which God has prepared me with and used me in to
preach His truth. Leadership Experience & Ministries that I've been involved in Youth Groups in General For over fifteen years,
under eight youth pastors, I have gained much experience in youth groups. This has culminated in years of youth
leadership roles as described in some of the points below… Sweat Youth Group The first youth group in
which I was a leader was Sweat, at First Assembly of God Gainesville Florida.
I started attending just as I was
graduating from high school, and eventually became one of the youth leaders for a number of years. See: www.sweatyouth.com The UpRising Youth Group In 2006, I helped a youth
pastor and dear friend at his youth
group at First United Methodist High Springs Florida. See: www.xanga.com/the_uprising_Youth High School Sunday Schools By leading High School
Sunday School I gained a “small-scale” taste of what it was like to be a
pastor. I faced disappointments as
well as encouragements as I poured out my life to make people into dedicated
followers of Jesus, at First Assembly of God. I did this for about three years, and
worked mostly with high school students, but I also occasionally had middle
school and college students attend. Eventually, I also taught High School
Sunday School at First United Methodist. High School Small Groups at
First Assembly of God First small group: I was going
to a small group, and the leader was soon promoted to youth pastor, so he
asked me to take over the small group because of my influential involvement. Second small group: I was asked
to lead a small group by a parent of a student from my Sunday School class. Youth Pastor of Fireball Youth In 2008 I was privileged to
move up to New Jersey to be a (missionary) youth pastor at Flemington
Assembly of God. See: www.trueconnection.org/fireballyouth Also see this short sermon:
www.trueconnection.org/goto/lawless-etp-p Chi Alpha, College Ministry From 1999 through 2003 I
was especially involved in a Christian club on college
campus called Chi Alpha (or “XA” in Greek).
I served as President, Student Government Rep, and Treasurer at different times throughout my four years
with them. Compare: www.chialpha.com/about Ministry Internship –
“Gainesville Outreach Internship” The internship was made up
of mostly college students seeking what Jesus wanted to do with their lives
in ministry, done through First Assembly of God. I was unofficially
involved with the internship for about three years (with two summers being official) until I went full-time the fourth year. When I went full-time, I moved into a
low-income neighborhood with the interns for a year to preach the Gospel, do
outreaches, including kid’s church (children’s ministry), prayer walking, and
much more, as we prayed for the neighborhood to be changed. During these four years we also did
on-the-road “event-outreaches,” (called SURGE), 6:00 am Morning Prayer at the
church, Intensive Devotional and “Pragmatic” Teachings, Training, Bible
Projects, Meditation Assignments, Scripture Memory, Accountability and much
more. The fourth year was also the year that I
had leadership and responsibilities. I assigned, assessed, and graded Bible
Projects, Scripture Memory, Devotionals, and a few other things mostly
involving Bible training. |

Missions Trips (Short-Term)
Mexico, 2000 – Through YWAM, we went to the Yucatan Peninsula,
first landing in Cancun to do inner-city outreach, and then we went to the
tribes, especially “Las Mayas” (the Mayans),
with real huts, witchcraft and voodoo, and other considerable demonic activity
to fight to see souls saved.
Gainesville Outreach, 2000-2003, (4 years in a row) – This annual outreach was an overflow of
the internship, aiming to reach the city of Gainesville Florida for Jesus. I was a part of it for four successive years
with various leadership roles, including a little preaching, and the last two,
I lead ministry groups (about 15-20 people) on outreaches to low-income
neighborhoods.
Miami, about 2002 – Inner-city Outreach
with local Missionaries. We witnessed on
the infamous “South Beach,” shining the light of Jesus in one of the most dark
and morally corrupt areas in Miami. We
also put on a bilingual evangelistic event called “SURGE.”

Venezuela, July 4th - 14th, 2003 – The best mission
trip that I’ve ever been on, that was originally going to be a vacation for
my friend. Six of us went through
parts of Venezuela, and the whole part of an Island (off the mainland) called
“Las Isla de Margarita” (The Island of Margarita). We preached in an Assembly of God church, two
churches in a profoundly dark prison, and did a short bilingual presentation (that
included the Bible in Spanish and English) in a totally worldly bar. Many things happened, but the pervading
aspect that really made it the best mission trip, was that God’s favor was on
us during the whole trip answering prayers, and even performing miracles. Marriages for life (2006) I helped film this entire
conference. Compare: www.cpr-ministries.org Website (since 2006) I am excited to offer the Truths
that God has given me, to the world: www.trueconnection.org Street Preaching Bible Reading
(since 2003) I try to do focused witnessing often,
but especially when I get to proclaim the Word of God in Gainesville, Florida
at Santa Fe Community College
(where I graduated) as well as the University
of Florida (where I worked for a year), where I read the Bible out loud
and project my voice across the campus.
When I am in a season where God lets me do open air preaching, I make
it out about every other week to proclaim God's truth for hours, and pour out
my life that people would be saved.
The experiences and stories that I get from this are numerous and
invaluable. Present Ministry: Small-group
Discipleship (since 2007) I presently lead weekly intensive discipleship Bible
studies, consisting mostly of college students and college graduates, and
they usually last for many hours, and sometimes last almost all day. Additional Ministry: Preaching from
church to church (Free MP3 Sermons) Sometimes
I have the honor of preaching Jesus to a number of churches across the US. Education Degree (compare Occupational

Spiritual Gifts (from 1Corinthians 12, and others)
– Discerning
of spirits (1Cor 12:10), some Prophecy (v. 10, 28; Rom 12:6; Eph 4:11), Wisdom
(v. 8), often words of knowledge (v. 8), Teaching/preaching/evangelizing (v. 8,
28; 14:26; Rom 12:7-8; Eph 4:11), (and I hope one day Apostleship, v. 28; 2Co
12:12; Compare what I wrote on “Apostles”). And
yes, (Biblical) tongues also (v. 10, 30).
Calling – I have been
called to preach repentance to the church as we know it. My life Goal is, “To call the modern church
to repent and obey Jesus, and to somehow be involved with the purification and
calling out of the Bride of Christ from “The End Times Prostitute,” to meet Her
soon-coming Husband in the air. (see: Mat 23, and Rev 17-19)” I live, eat,
breath, sleep, to be connected and to connect others to Jesus. I deeply want to see real disciples made. I'm
living for God's revolution. The time is far spent, and the time has long
passed… it is time we raised up Disciples instead of looking for converts to
crowd our church buildings.
