"IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN CHANGED FOR LIFE...
YOU REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN CHANGED AT ALL!"
About me hmmmmm? These few little spaces cannot even hold it all but I will say that my life is an open book for the sake of Gods Kingdom. God has spent the last 11 years of my life putting back together what I allowed the enemy to rip apart. I am born again for sure, and not afraid to make it known to the world for I understand why even God allowed Christ to be an open book to the world. It is for the witness to others that we live in him and have our being. My life didn't start off in the streets, but that's where it ended up. I can tell you a 100 reasons why I should be dead, strung out on drugs or in prison. I stand today as a man of God, only because of God's Grace. I realistically should be physically dead...
"BUT GOD"!!! I now see the world through the eyes of God as He was looking upon my messy, messy, messy life. It helps me keep things in perspective and definitely keeps me balanced in how I handle others who are still struggling. I love the lost more than I do "churchie folks" because the lost are so very, very real about their present plight. They are easy to show the way, and don't have to be convinced about it like "churchie folks".
I am the father of 10 children my boys are Dehron, Tony D., Jonathan, Anthony W., and Lena'vince (aka Buddy).
My girls are Santana, Jaszmin, Toniesha, D'Maitland, and Loren.. I know WOW!!!!!! Only four of them currently live in the house with my wife Tresha and I, however they all are loved and know that they have a place with us. I must also give much credit to the mothers of my children who are not with us for without them standing in the gap while I went through my life dealings I do not know where my children would all be. I bless them for their roles as women who make a difference even when a man is absent.
I also have several grandchildren Makala and Meleke who are an inspiration to their grandmother Diane, and a blessing to be around for me. Thank God, for all the women of God who are taking the honor to help raise their childrens children. I look forward to spending many hours, days and years with those little munchkins and many more to come I am sure. Get Ready Get ready Get Ready!!!! My wife Tresha and I have been married for 10 years now, and known each other for about 13 years. We have witnessed the power of transformation in our lives and we are certain that it had to be GOD and God alone who transformed us.
We understand hard times and good times both while we were single as well as in marriage, yet we are able to say that weve.. never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. God has been very faithful to watch over His word concerning me. I have served as the Campus Pastor for Teen Challenge International of SW Florida, where I Pastored 40 to 44 men in a 12-month residential rehab facility. Teen Challenge is a completely faith based program, when I say that I do not mean from the perspective of how we raise or get money. We preach and teach a man or woman that enters our doors the WORD of God every single day for 12 months, PERIOD!!! We believe that Jesus is the cure for the drug epidemic. We have an 86% success rate to prove it.
I have served as Assistant and Associate Pastor of Mt Hermon Ministries, specifically overseeing The Ministries of Help and Recovery. I served in this ministry for the past 10 years as a leader in one capacity or another under the leadership of Apostle William Glover, one of the greatest kingdom secrets coming forth on the earth. All I can tell you is keep your eyes and ears open and room on your bookshelf available for this Man of Gods ministry. He has been an inspiration and a Spiritual Father. I was so close to death to many times without a savior, so I dare not allow others who are now going through to not know there is a God who cares, came, died, and rose up for them. The streets truly are my pulpit and it is my intent to be there preaching the gospel every chance I get.
We have made it to the "A" and are looking to continue the fulfilling of a prophetic word spoken at the church of a Pastor Green on the corners of Bouldercrest and Flatshoals Road, some 20 years ago. This prophetic Word further shaped in my spirit while I was a member of World Changers Church International. It has taken this long for me to get into the right position so that God could perfect things in me and purge things out of my life for this ministry ahead. I believe we have entered a time of sweatless victory, where the favor of God will overrule the plans of satan, in fact I am confident that we are there already.
Listen, my wife has written an awesome and instrumental tool for kingdom development, which is a blessing to men and women in the kingdom. The book title is A Woman any Man Can Love . When you get a chance check it out. Click the book title to preview a few pages.
I hope to see all of you on the front lines, if we can help you out do not hesitate to contact us.
Watch out Atlanta, we are in the "A" and bringing a new realness to the "Dec". We make no apologies for this except to say that God has raised up a Lazurus Generation who are the sons and daughters of the Joshua promise. We are coming to make Disciples for Christ. Keep us in your prayersPeAcE
