While attending college at the West Indies School of theology, Maracas Valley, Trinidad in 1971, I met my wife Marilyn. We enrolled in the institution the same year and were students of the graduating class of 1974. Wedding bell rang just after graduation and we took up our first pastoral appointment at Pares Village, Antigua from 1974 to1980. With a vision to promote righteousness and godly rule in the lives of all who will listen, it became an arduous task. With encouragement from members and brethren of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the West Indies on the island, we plough ahead and laid a spiritual foundation by tilling the fields with the undiluted word of God.
During our tenure, we were able to erect the first church building in the village and won the hearts of members and villagers. We were blessed with three wonderful children Wilton, Marcia, and Alliston, who migrated with us to the United States in 1980.
I became a credential minister with the Assemblies of God and served in the Upper Room Assembly in Miami for several years, under the direction of Pastor Bruce Klepp. This was a training ground and a blessed experience to be acclimated to a new dynamic culture.
In 1995, I graduated with a BA degree in Human Resources Management, from Trinity International University.
In 2000, we established “The Fountain of Life Outreach Ministries” in Miami. The sole purpose was to be a facilitator and accommodate those who lack spiritual guidance and a way to charter their lives.
The journey is all-uphill with no rest for the weary. Every conceivable scenario has shown up in our quest to point people towards God. It is a continuous fight in the trenches, which require firm commitment and dedication to win the battles. Spiritual battle is hard, long, and consuming but not overwhelming.
