I was saved in 1976 by a sovereign move of God. A dream in the night
revealed the way of salvation. Upon awaking I responded by dropping
to my knees, repenting, and calling out to the Lord. I immediately began
attending a full gospel church and within 5 months was leading a prayer
meeting and bible study in my home. During a crisis time in my life,
I had to have surgery; my oldest son, who was 2 at the time got severely
burned; my income was greatly reduced, yet as I went through this Job
like experience I sought God through the night for a word for my life.
About 4 AM he spoke through Isaiah 58:1-12. I knew that he was calling
me to the full time ministry and I responded.
I began teaching and
evangelizing, working with Catholic Charismatics who were being touched
by God during the Renewal, then in 1982 with the encouragement from my
pastor Dr.Benjamin Crandall and his son Douglas, I planted a church called
New Jerusalem Christian Church (now New
Jerusalem City Church) in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn,
New York.
In 1983 I organized
the first pastors prayer meeting for charismatic leaders in Brooklyn.
This group is still ongoing.
In 1985 I began working
with an inner city group of Black ministers in what was called New Day
Ministries, a vision of a young Black pastor. God reminded me of my call,
which was not just to the ministry but gave me specific instructions to
bring unity to repair the breach and to restore streets
with dwellings. As the first Caucasian brother I opened the door
for others to follow and God blessed mightily.
In 1991 I was an inaugural
member (there were 4 others) of a pastors covenant group which was
the vision of a friend in ministry,
Pastor Joe Mattera.
In 1994 I was used
to organize the first citywide communion service.
In 1995 I was asked
to organize the first March For Jesus in the Borough of Brooklyn which
I did and our first march drew 7,000 worshippers and over 100 pastors
and Christian leaders. In 1997 I took oversight for the entire NYC region.
Eventually forming what is now NYC Metro March For Jesus of which I am
Executive Director. In 2000 a march rally along Park Ave and into New
Yorks Central Park was used by God to build relationships with others
in our city especially Blacks and Asians. Racial reconciliation groups
like EAR and WHEAR have been formed to foster healing through repentance
and relationship building between White/Blacks and White and Hispanics.
In 1999 we assisted the nation of Nicaragua in gathering 50,000 for a
March For Jesus in Managua.
In 1997 Co-founded P.A.S.S.I.O.N Network of churches and ministries along
with Apostle Carlos Lopez who is the overseeing apostle. P.A.S.S.I.O.N.
works in NYC, Nicaragua and Senegal.
The passion to see
the office of the apostle restored currently drives me as well as Apostle
Lopez. We are co-laboring to bring apostles of the city together to both
restore the office and to form rings of leadership around
our region (North Jersey, NYC, and Long Island) whereby we can properly
wage war against the enemy, seeking corporate vision and strategy to advance
the Kingdom of God in this area. In spite of much opposition the Lord
is blessing greatly.
ACTS CDC was organized
in 2003 as a 501 (C) s not-for-profit whose focus is to transform lives
and communities.
Co-founder and member
of Apostolic Council of P.A.S.S.I.O.N. network. Overseeing Apostle Carlos Lopez.
Paul And Silas Strategizing Internationally Office Ministries and Networking
Churches
Responding to the
mandate of restoring God's passion in the heart of His people P.A.S.S.I.O.N.
is responding to the call of apostolic duty by allowing ourselves to
be molded and in some areas perhaps remolded for others to see, imitate
and follow. Cities need to see models.
The vision of P.A.S.S.I.O.N.
is to serve as a joint supplier in the Body of Christ at large. To facilitate
the networking of churches and those functioning in the Fivefold office
ministries regionally, nationally and internationally
