A Passion...His life work and passion is all about inclusive ministeries that care, that share the love of their diversity, and truly make a better world. A world that tears down walls, builds hope and brings help when help is truly needed.






In his own words...I have two Christian ministries on Facebook. One of my ministries I have had 16 years, the second for just about 6 years. Our Facebook ministries are in every country of the world, Gay Christian Ministries with about 5,000 members and Gay Christian Men Ministries with more than 3,000 members. We are based here in Laguna Beach.

Both of my ministries have touched many lives all over the world for many that have been shut out, many who didn't have any churches available or couldn't go to a church for fear of being honest with themselves and being who they truly are they would be rejected, or even killed, out of hate and bigotry. We accept all people and love all people. We are tearing down walls and building up hope.

I am proud to say that in my 25 years, I have done my best to stand strong in our community as a vice moderator at Resurrection Beach Church in Costa Mesa for over 13 years and Good Samaritan Metropolitan Church for 5 years. Additionally, while also being a member at large for these organizations, I have worked as an outreach person for the homeless collecting blankets, clothing, food, and more; going out onto the street feeding them and clothing them. Indeed, I have had many tasks such as raising money for battered women and their children, sending them to Disneyland at Christmas, raising over $3,000 feeding the homeless in Laguna Beach, and in my spare time, I volunteer at the Friendship Shelter cooking dinner for them and also feeding the homeless on the beach. I have also spearheaded and organized fundraising for different charities associated with the church and for different organized events.

Our Gay Christian Ministries Focus on the Following: *Addiction * Bullying * Suicide * Fellowship * Acceptance * Mentoring * Bringing Communities Together * Self Acceptance * Spiritual Guidance * Providing a place where one may go when they are not accepted in their own church!
