Summary
The Lord began working in my heart at a young age, and I answered my call to preach at 16 years old. Over the past 12 years I have provided spiritual leadership and outreach to congregations and communities with diverse populations. Above all, my passion is to grow the kingdom of God. My prayer is that God uses me and the ministry He has given me, to see souls saved and lives changed.
