This is a ministry relying on the power of God to bring hope to individuals, pastors, communities and churches through teaching and preaching under the power of the Spirit and the revelation of God.
Born in Indiana into a family with two sisters and caring parents, I found my interests in music and writing. By the time I went to university I was planning to be a psychologist and musician. I also studied psychology before I entered university, preparing to be a psychologist. I recorded songs at a studio in Detroit, Michigan. I gave music and Psychology my best efforts, recording two records and earning honors in Psychology but little did I know events in college would re-direct my life.
While a student in college I was confronted with the teachings and claims of Jesus by a music group from out West. It interested me so much I could not forget it. Later I was confronted again by an itinerant travelling evangelist who played the guitar and preached the Gospel. From those two experiences I became a convert and follower of Jesus Christ.
I enrolled in seminary and while there had a charismatic experience. I graduated and became an ordained minister serving churches in USA and Canada. I then became a full time Prison Chaplain, retiring in 2015.Just before retirement I was offered a small church in Western New York where I presently serve.
Mark 16:15 Ministries is a result of praying in an apartment in Lorain, Ohio many years ago and asking the Lord to make the New Testament Biblical verse Mark 16:15 a reality in my life. That prayer would be answered through the ministry, music and literature which is detailed in my first book.
Mark 16:15 Ministries is also the extension of a prayer I prayed in my apartment in Springfield Ohio in the 1970s when I asked God for the one thing I wanted in life: To help people find the will of God for their own lives. I have seen that prayer answered more and more as time goes on as God inspires and supernaturally tells me what to tell people when they need direction.
It's not about me but about a living God and how He works today.
