OUR HISTORY OF SALVATION AND CALLING

I was a police officer for 16 years before the Lord called me into the ministry. Kim was a secretary for a local water company. While a police officer, there was a local motorcycle gang in the mid-west called "The Cloven Hooves" which my cousin was a member of.

One day my cousin which was on the opposite side of the law came to my door. Because of our position on both sides of the spectrum, we seldom had anything in common. As I opened the door I noticed he looked different than I remembered. He had a haircut, didn't have his gang colors on and presented himself as a changed person. As he spoke to me, he said "Tony, I love you" and I want to invite you to Revival at Calvary Baptist Church. My cousin had accepted Christ and wanted me to do the same. He had a compassion and concern for my soul. During that Revival I realized I was lost and a sinner. I realized because of my sin, I was condemned to death. I repented of my sins and received Jesus Christ by faith. A short time later, Kim also accepted Jesus Christ and we both began serving the Lord with our lives. 

After being baptized by emmersion and becoming a member of Calvary Baptist Church, we began serving in any way possible. For five years we served there and trusted the Lord to guide our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit and by God's Word. We grew during those five years. A short time later God began to move in our hearts and utilized a conference with national pastors to begain to plant seeds in our hearts concerning missions.

God used two short term mission trips which began to water the seeds in our hearts for missions. We both surrendered for full time service on August 9, 1992. A short time later I began Bible College and graduated in May of 1995. We began to seek God's direction and through a mission trip to Jamaica, God put a call in our hearts for the country of Haiti. We arrived in Haiti in December 1998. God has blessed our ministry and continues to use us in the area of missions to reach Haitians and the world for Christ.
