Testimony
Continued :
In 1997 I transferred to Corry Station in Pensacola, Fl for a
Navy school, while there I wanted attend the Brownsville Revival. I am
glad I did, it changed my life!
When I first went to the Brownsville Revival, also known as the
Pensacola Outpouring, I felt such a heavy guilt about the sinful life that I
was leading that as soon as Evangelist Steven Hill started to speak I knew
that he was talking to me, Charity James started to sing "Mercy Seat" and I
had to run to the alter. I gave everything to Jesus and I felt such a peace
and power come through me. I knew that the Lord was calling me to get
re-baptized as an act of obedience to God. I did and I cannot begin to
describe how my life changed after that.
Obedience is better than sacrifice!
After attending the Revival for almost 2 years, I received
orders to the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) that was being moved to Yokosuka, Japan,
from San Diago.
I knew that I was being called overseas to be a Missionary Evangelist.. Before
transferring I asked Rev. Steve Hill, and Rev. Carey Robertson to pray
for me and during this I was told that there is going to be a great outpouring
in Japan and I will be a part of it. I was given 3 words from God,
1) Find the Pentecostal Chaplain on the
Kitty Hawk, 2) Find the Men's Ministry on the Kitty Hawk, and 3) Revival is
coming and I would be a part of it. Well to put a long story short I thought that he missed this
because in 10 years in the Navy I had never seen a Pentecostal minister in the
Navy, as soon as I got to the ship I met the Chaplin and then I found out that
there was a Men's ministry just starting and the other one has just started to
happen but they all came true. God was moving in an awesome and mighty
way and I was so humbled and fired up to be being used in this.
While the Kitty Hawk battle group was in the Arabian Gulf doing
Operation Southern Watch, God really moved! On the USS Kitty Hawk, there were
over 100 souls saved, or who returned to Christ during that deployment. God
allowed me my first opportunity to teach and preach on that deployment. It was
an awesome experience.
Early in 1999, I started praying, asking where the Lord wanted
this ministry to go. The Lord showed me that the Internet is a wide open
ministry, and I am to claim it for Christ! After about a year of this I
felt that God had told me to expand this ministry, so in September 2000, God
had me found For This Time Ministries. This ministry is commissioned for
the purpose of evangelizing the lost, helping the hurt and delivering and
restoring the
spiritually oppressed, and as always, going after
"Whosoever will"
accept Jesus Christ as Lord.
