About

In 1987, as a new Christian, I was given *Shadow of the Almighty* about missionary Jim Elliott, whose life and sacrifice deeply stirred me. A year later, I was on the streets of New York City with NYSUM and Houghton College, sharing the gospel and visiting David Wilkerson’s church in Times Square. Influences like Keith Green, Leonard Ravenhill, and Last Days Ministries inspired me toward full-time ministry and missions.


In the late 1980s, after seeing a photo of an aborted child, I was moved to grief and joined the pro-life movement. Evangelism and ministry outside church walls became central to my life. Between 2000 and 2010, I discovered Living Waters and *Hell’s Best Kept Secret*, learning to present the gospel biblically through street evangelism, the “good test,” and gospel tracts.


From 2011 to 2021, I stepped away from ministry while involved in a false charismatic church. In 2020, the Lord opened my heart to Christ crucified and Reformed doctrine, with Isaiah 53:10 becoming a pivotal scripture for me.


In June 2022, I attended my first George Whitefield Program Fellowship conference and knew the Lord had called me to full-time evangelism. By His grace, I now serve as a committed evangelist with SFOI and continue developing my preaching through the George Whitefield Preaching Academy.
