Kingdom Minded Ministries

God called me to the ministry at the tender age of 13 years old in New Orleans, LA...I answered the call and began to do His work without delay. My heart's desire/passion has always been to reach this hurting generation and touch the lives of God's people with authencity and relevancy in ministry through spreading the Truth of His Word. Since age 15, God began to use me in a great way to touch the lives of young people just like myself...who grew up in poverty, surrounded by drugs, by showing them there is a reality in serving God boldy and seeking to serve Him over succumbing to the temptations to serve the streets. As a result of giving and devoting my entire youth to Christ, God began to open doors for me to minister to thousands of hurting people and spread the Love of Christ throughout New Orleans and Houston. He placed the right mentors/leaders in my path to help mold me for the ministry mandate God had given me for building His Kingdom. I was licensed and ordained to preach the Gospel in 2005/2006. Because I was serious about the call of God on my life and have a deep hunger for Him and sharpening the gift/anointing He's already placed on my life, I attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma for seminary school where I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Theological Studies in 2010. After finishing my degree, God supernaturally opened the door for me to work in the banking industry...by His grace and favor! I excelled rapidly...reach several promotions...even to the point of being invited to work out of the Manhattan area for the past 3 years. While I've been able to climb the ladders of success in the bank via my "career", I know deep in my spirit this isn't my "calling" by God. Early this year, the Lord began to deal with my heart and spoke boldly to go back to Houston and "Finish the Work I have Begun in You...There's a Need among the people". I wrestled with this for quite some time, to be honest, because God knows that I financially support my mother (who's a single parent of 5) in Houston, TX...after suffering devastation from Hurricane Katrina, I relocated my Mother and siblings to Houston and was eventually able to help provide her the home of her dreams after we loss everything in New Orleans. I support her on an ongoing basis and have made that vow to God that she would lack for nothing as long as I live.

Nevertheless, God has instructed me precisely to return back to Houston to serve His people with undivided attention in the capacity of full-time ministry...He told me to walk away from Corporate America and to go "finish the work He has begun"...Anyone who knows me know I have always been a man of strong integrity and pureness of heart...by God's grace, He's placed an insane work ethic in me to have always been able to provide for my family and work hard without the need of any except Him. I'm blessed to say He has allowed me these past 5-10 years to be a strong support to my precious mother and family while still being able to support myself while living here in the Manhattan area.

However, to start-up this church-plant ministry, it's going to take several thousands to secure a venue to meet on a weekly basis, provide musical equipment, cover the costs for the initial start-up and transition. We have secured a facility that will provide a state-of-the-art sound system, proper seating, and space to accommodate families with effective ministry and meet the needs wholistically. This will allow us to mitigate the costs for at least the first 2-3 months.

We're looking to launch officially in October and move forward with the ministry's inception.

I'm asking those who truly know my heart, my passion and love for reaching His people and ministering to the hurting wounds of so many who are lost and in need of a true/fresh experience of His Spirit, to stand with me as I obey His Great Commission and help meet the needs of His people.

I will also provide every donor with an itemized break down of where every dollar went once funds are disbursed because I believe in always being a man of God who always carries transparency and integrity.

Thank you in advance to all my family and close friends from near and far for your support...please keep me in deep prayer as we begin this unprecedented journey!

May you receive God's greatest blessings in return for your support. #GoBeyondGiving
