This is a ministry relying on the power of God. 

I was planning to be a Clinical Psychologist, studying Psychology even before I entered university.  

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 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 was then called into the ministry in 1968. I did not want to go into ministry as I thought it was most unappealing. That was my image of ministers. But after reading the book The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson I changed my mind. I saw a different side of ministry that was for those who were sincere and bold to preach. That event changed the direction of my life for a second time (the first was conversion).

I enrolled in seminary and while there had a Pentecostal experience.That was the third event that changed my life in the year 1970. After that I was given a fervency to study the Bible. That led to my first and strongest gift from the Spirit: Teaching. I was able to read a verse or more in the Scriptures and supernaturally preach on it with insight, understanding and anointing beyond my natural ability. 

That was the third event that changed my life. I have been consumed with Scripture since.

Just before retirement I was offered a small church in Western New York where I presently serve as Pastor.

I am serving the Lord Jesus in healing ministry he called me to many years ago in a vision (1972). The Lord has graciously added teaching and pastoral work to that calling.
