In the mid 1990's, God spoke audibly to me and instructed me saying, "Feed My sheep". After a couple of weeks of pondering what God had spoken, I accepted His appointment to ministry. I began to enhance my biblical knowledge by taking courses offered by my church. Upon completion of those courses, I enrolled in a Bible college and completed seventeen credit hours. God again spoke audibly to me and instructed me to go to a specific seminary and get a master's degree, which I completed in December 2006.

In September 2000, while in seminary, I suffered what has been called a massive heart attack. During that heart attack, I died. The medics worked extremely hard for a long time to bring me back to life. When they brought me back, I remained in a coma for three days. All my major organs were losing their function as I lay in a coma and afterwards. Doctors told my wife, Pauline, to expect the worst. But her faith in Jesus, the Christ, saw a different outcome. She believed in her heart of hearts that God loved her husband as I had told her so many times in the past. In spite of the doctors' hopeless prognosis, she was convinced I would recover. In the hospital, the nursing staff called me “the miracle man”.

During the onset of the heart attack, God came to visit me in my home. Unlike any other experience with God in the past, God's all-encompassing presence came to my house to visit me! His presence filled the room. It permeated my whole being. I can tell you with certainty that when you are saturated with the presence of the Almighty, loving God, when you are one with Him, the only thing that matters is God. That experience and the grace of God, along with much prayer and supplications, has given me a much deeper appreciation for the reality and the person of God.
