My ministry is Uturn4life; I “The Pridigal Son” have had a past much like the Biblical prodigal son. I wasted the first half of my life deeply imbedded in sinful activity. At 18 years of age, I found myself in prison for possessing marijuana and psychedelic drugs with the intent to sell.
My first marriage of 3 ended in early divorce before my first child was 2 years of age. I fell into satans trap, first through alcohol, then through drugs.
While I was in prison my parents sold their home in Maryland and moved to Florida because of the shame that I had brought them. My father disowned me and I never gained forgiveness from him.
I almost died in prison from ingesting the seeds from the “jimson weed” plants that grew wild at the prison farm.
After my release, I fell back into satans evil web and fortunately for me, I asked Jesus Christ to come into my life. I turned away from all my addictions and in 1998 I entered into ministry studies. By 2004 I was ordained by the Florida General Baptist presbytery and in 2007 was installed as pastor of Regency Baptist Church.
I am now Outreach Director for Pasadena Baptist Church in Dade City, Florida.
I have a passion to help the homeless population in our area as well as ministering to two Christian churches in Pakistan.
