I was born and raised in Kearny NJ and it was here in 1974 that I trusted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour. I was raised in a home that was divided, Mom was saved dad wasn’t. I was the youngest of four boys and with two sisters we grew up in a blue collar home. I received my moral compass from my mother and a hard work ethic from my dad and the Lord has used those to guide my life.
In 1982 while a senior in Kearny High school I surrendered my life to serve the Lord. I began working in the church under the leadership of Pastor Harold Elting. In 1988 the Lord led me to Florida where I attended Trinity Baptist College. It was there I met the love of my life;Ann Renee Greaves. We were married in June of 1989. God has blessed us with four children, Matthew, Melanie, Ethan and Evan.
In 1995 I became the Pastor of Gospel Light Baptist Church. We started out with no pay but worked to win souls and build a church for the Lord. in 1997 the Lord impressed upon my heart the need to go full time in the ministry. We went out by faith and taking a large pay cut we devoted out time to the Lords work. God was faithful and blessed and has met our needs all these years. We have seen many people come to know Christ as Saviour and have watched them grow in Gods grace.
It’s my desire to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ Jesus and to reach my home town for my Lord and Saviour.
