About Me
GOD BLESS AND WELCOME TO MY MYSPACE PAGE! FIRST AND FOREMOST I HOPE THIS PAGE MAY BE A BLESSING FOR YOUR LIFE AND THAT MY MUSIC MAY MINISTER TO YOUR HEART PROFOUNDLY! AT THE AGE OF 12 I MADE A DECISION TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST IN MY HEART AND WALK IN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. AT THIS AGE I BEGAN TO WRITE SONGS WITH MY COUSIN "KALE" AND IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED MY TALENT FOR MUSIC AND POETRY. FOR 2 YEARS MY COUSIN "KALE" AND I MINISTERED SONGS AT OUR LOCAL CHURCH, AND WITH OUT KNOWING, THOSE TWO YEARS HELPED TO MOLD MY TALENT AND CHARACTER FOR A LIFE IN MINISTRY. AT THE AGE OF 14 MY COUSIN "KALE" DECIDED TO JOIN THE MILITARY SO I CONTINUED THE MINISTRY WITH MY BROTHER J.C. TOGETHER WE FORMED A DUO CALLED BEN-AMI, A HEBREW WORD FOR "SON OF MY PEOPLE." IN SEPTEMBER 2005, BEN-AMI RELEASED THEIR FIRST ALBUM TITLED "INSIDE OF MY MIND." BEN-AMI MINISTERED AS A GROUP FOR 6 YEARS IN PRISON MINISTRY, REHAB CENTERS, FOSTER CARE CENTERS, JUVENILLE DETENTION CENTERS, HOMELESS MINISTRY, CHURCHES, ETC. DURING THOSE 6 YEARS I LEARNED TO GROW AND UNDERSTAND THE JOY AND PAIN THAT COMES FROM A LIFE IN MINISTRY, AND THAT IN MANY OCCASIONS WE MUST SUFFER TO GROW AND MATURE. DUE TO DIFFIFULT EXPERIENCES IN MY PERSONAL LIFE I BATTLED WITH DEPRESSION FOR 3 YEARS. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I ALLOWED CHRIST TO BE MORE THAN JUST MY SAVIOR, BUT ALSO LORD AND GOD OF MY LIFE. LIKE THIS I PLACED MY ENTIRE LIFE AND MINISTRY IN GOD'S HANDS. THIS YEAR, 2007, BEN-AMI DECIDED TO SEPERATE FOR A SEASON TO PURSUE INDIVIDUAL DREAMS, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD WILL WORK IN BOTH J.C. AND MYSELF IN DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE MINISTRY. SO KEEP YOUR EARS AND EYE OUT FOR MY SOLO ALBUM RELEASE "FROM DA SOUL" COMING SOON. THANK YOU TO ALL FOR THE SUPPORT, LOVE, AND PRAYERS TOWARDS MY MINISTRY.***************************************************

DIOS LES BENDIGA A TODOS Y BIENVENIDOS A MI PAGINA!! PRIMERO QUE NADA ESPERO QUE ESTA PAGINA SEA DE BENDICION PARA SU VIDA Y QUE MI MUSICA PUEDA MINISTRAR A SU CORAZON PROFUNDAMENTE! A LA EDAD DE 12 ANOS TOME LA DECISION DE ACEPTAR A JESUCRISTO EN MI CORAZON Y CAMINAR EN UNA RELACION PERSONAL CON EL. A ESA EDAD COMENZE A ESCRIBIR CANCIONES CON MI PRIMO "KALE" Y ALLI DESCUBRI MI TALENTO POR LA MUSICA Y LA POESIA. POR DOS ANOS MI PRIMO "KALE" Y YO MINISTRAMOS CANCIONES EN NUESTRA IGLESIA LOCAL, SIN PENSAR QUE ESOS DOS ANOS ME AYUDARIAN A MOLDEAR MI TALENTO Y CARACTER PARA UNA VIDA DE MINISTERIO. A LOS 14 ANOS MI PRIMO INGRESO AL SERVICIO MILITAR Y LUEGO YO CONTINUE EL MINISTERIO CON MI HERMANO JUAN CARLOS , J.C.. JUNTOS FORMAMOS EL DUO BEN-AMI, UNA PALABRA HEBREA QUE SIGNIFICA "HIJO DE MI PUEBLO". EN SEPTIEMBRE DEL ANO 2005 BEN-AMI LANZO SU PRIMERA PRODUCCION TITULADA "INSIDE OF MY MIND." BEN-AMI MINISTRO COMO GRUPO POR 6 ANOS EN MINISTERIO DE PRISION, CENTROS DE REHABILITACION, CENTROS DE DETENCION JUVENIL, MINISTERIO PARA EL DESAUCIADO, IGLESIAS, ETC. DURANTE ESOS 6 ANOS YO APRENDI A CRECER Y ENTENDER EL GOZO Y EL DOLOR QUE PROVIENE DE UN MINISTERIO, Y QUE EN MUCHAS OCASIONES SE REQUIERE SUFRIR PARA CRECER Y MADURAR. DEBIDO A EXPERIENCIAS DIFICILES EN MI VIDA PERSONAL SUFRI UNA DEPRESION POR 3 ANOS. NO FUE HASTA QUE PERMITI QUE CRISTO FUERA NO SOLO MI SALVADOR SI NO TAMBIEN MI DIOS Y SENOR DE MI VIDA, ASI DEPOSITANDO MI VIDA COMPLETAMENTE EN SUS MANOS, QUE FUI LIBERADA DE MI DEPRESION. ESTE ANO, 2007, BEN-AMI DECIDIO SEPARASE POR UN TIEMPO PARA REALIZAR SUENOS INDIVDUALES, CON EL ENTENDIMIENTO QUE DIOS TIENE UN PROPOSITO PARA LOS DOS EN DIFERENTES ASPECTOS DEL MINISTERIO. ASI QUE ESPEREN PRONTO MI NUEVA PRODUCCION COMO SOLISTA TITULADA "FROM DA SOUL," "DESDE EL ALMA." MUCHAS GRACIAS POR SU APOYO, AMOR, Y ORACIONES HACIA EL MINISTERIO Y QUE DIOS LES CONTINUE BENDICIENDO.
