Man on a Mission!
Dear Friends,
I am happy to report that I am officially the
Word of Life Missionary to central New York
specifically, Binghamton, Rochester, and
Syracuse! One unique fact about this area is how
“young” it is; in the city of Rochester 28% of the
population is under the age of eighteen and 32%
are between the ages eighteen and twenty four.
That means over half the population is under the
age of twenty four! My vision for the young
people of this area is for them to know Jesus
Christ as their personal Savior, have a growing
vibrant relationship with him and live their lives
according to Biblical principles. I believe this
goal can be reached through evangelism,
discipleship, and Leadership Training. I believe
you and I can reach the world through central
New York!
As a result of this mission, I am currently
building a team to minister with me according to in Florida and that is when the Lord laid it on my

I offered her my laptop so she could watch a
movie and she accepted my offer gratefully.
The Lord was clearly at work in her heart,
because she chose a movie that made it really
easy to start a discussion about spiritual
things. She explained that she believed in
reincarnation, but listened with interest when I
shared the Gospel with her.
As I told her what Christ had done for us on
the cross, she told me that she wanted to
accept His free gift of salvation...she accepted
Christ as her only way to Heaven right there

out loud and I was just blown away. God has
