About

I am a senior pastor with an apostolic calling to the nations. On December 14, 1991, I was supernaturally saved and delivered from a life of addiction, and I received my calling to preach in January 1992 while I was driving home from work one night. I accepted the call to preach and preached my first sermon in December 1992. From the beginning of my calling into ministry, my mission has been to minister to people the message of hope and to help them to see their God-given potential to be successful in every area of their life. And throughout my many years of ministry, I have continued to seek to do just that. I do not ever want to forget where I once was and where God has taken me out of, so I know that God can do it for others as well.

I have taken this message to thousands while serving as a senior pastor in Missouri, Michigan, and California; planting a church; starting Walk on the Water Faith Ministries, a ministry geared to raising and supporting leaders nationally and internationally; serving as a youth director; and having a successful traveling ministry throughout the world. I continue to fulfill my ministry to bring the message of hope for all people. My commitment to Christ and to remaining focused on integrity in ministry and life has made it possible to be loved and respected by others.  I have completed my ministry studies through Messenger College and continued to pursue my associate’s and bachelor’s degrees through the School of Bible Theology. I have authored three books Your New Life Now, The Fire That Speaks, and most recently Picking up the Pieces.

I have been known for bringing the Word of God with simplicity and relevance, helping to bring greater understanding. It has proven in my own life that no matter whom you are or where you have been, God can change your heart, develop your life through his Word, and offer help to discover your destiny. I met my wife Tabatha in Camdenton, Missouri, while we were working together in a restaurant. We have been married for over twenty one years and have five children and five grandchildren. Tabatha is currently serving as co-pastor at Word of Life Ministries, Youth Ministries, and Ladies’ Ministry.
