Urgent Vision Ministries International

Pastor at Urgent Vision Ministries International.  Was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1969 and raised in East Toledo.  Raised in Chruch, I heard the Call on my life early to serve in full time ministry; I ran from God had and fast until I came face to face with having to deal with life and death.  Accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior in 1988 on my terms and from there God accepted me and I dealt with Him.  It was a long road.  Graduated from waite High School in 1987 and went on to College at the University of Toledo to become a Teacher.

God dealt swiftly with me and I had to begin to really deal with Him.  Coming to a place of accepting Him I transferred to Grace College in Winona Lake, IN to become a Pastor.  It was at that time that I came home for the summer and God really got a hold of my life.  I once again transfered to another college.  Circleville Bible College(CBC) in Circleville, Ohio while at CBC I experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and it filled my life verty full and I couldn't get enough of God.

Married in 1993, joinging the Church of the Nazarene and after 14 years of ministry in the Nazarene Church I suffered a divorce and was removed from ministry.  I spent the next several years suffereing from the loss of hope and depression.  I didn't understand what God was doing in my life. 

In 2007, I remarried and God reminded me of the calling on my life to serve Him.  It has been with great vigor that I have served Him.  With my wife Cheryl, our eleven children and our grand children we touch many all around the world in many countries.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from CBC.  A Master of Arts in Church Growth and Evangelism and a Master of Divinity in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University.  I have also been trained in many different types of ministry.  It has been a joy to be able to reach so many countries with the Gospel and provide for those who can be reached for Christ.

I  am a full time pastor , preaching Gospel to non-christian , planting churches among unreached, and caring some few orphans.
