My Path - From Abandonment to Adoption:
My path has led me from abandonment to adoption.
My mother went away while I was still a baby, leaving me with a dad who was in and out of jail.
I often had to live with friends or other family members. I was introduced to drugs, sex and abuse at an early age. I began smoking marijuana at age seven. I became a father at 16 and was addicted to crack cocaine by the time he was 17 years old.
A World of Darkness:I quickly slid into a world of darkness; including theft, drugs, homelessness, and doing anything necessary to support his drug habit.
I met Terri in 1992, who shared with him the message of salvation. We were married a year later. On our wedding day, I received a calling from the Lord that he was to be in ministry, but I could not get free of my drug addition.
Running From God:For 10 years I would battle with crack cocaine; in and out of rehabs and often living in the street; eating out of dumpsters, begging for money, and sleeping on benches, in sheds, or wherever he could find shelter. I ran as far as I could from the call of God on My life.
During this time, I also suffered the death and loss of my youngest son. Later, I lost all contact with my oldest son when I signed adoption papers while high on crack. Eventually, I lost my family and my home. In March 2003, alone and in jail, I called out to God for help.
Full Surrender:I fully gave his life to the Lord that day and was adopted into God's family. Since then my own family has been restored and I was delivered and set free from all drugs! I quickly began ministering in outreach to the homeless and the addicted. Now I'm back on the streets, this time feeding and ministering to those who are still trapped.
I attended the college home based Master's Commission program at Southeastern College in Lakeland, Florida.
The past 2 years have not been easy. There were trials and struggles, but through the trials, God has delivered me from low self-esteem and depression. The LORD has given me a deeper hunger for more of Him, and He has healed a broken and hurting marriage!
I am currently building Aiming High Ministries with my wife Terri. I founder of "From Crack to Christ," an outreach support group for drug addicts, and have organized public events to share Jesus with the unsaved.
I desires that my testimony bring hope to the hurting, salvation to the lost, freedom to the addicts, and healing to their families.

Thank the Lord for my wife and my beautiful daughter.
