Seeing Your Parents Become Disciples – Never Give Up!
My wife and I were both led to Christ in 1977 while students at Eastern Illinois University. Like many other students who became disciples, our parents were at best confused and at worst quite concerned about our decision. My Italian parents, who were devout Roman Catholics, were even afraid that I had joined a cult like the Moonies.

Request for Urgent Prayer
Four years ago a young man came into my life, and he changed it forever. I knew him when he was a "Kingdom Kid" meaning that he had been a part of our youth/teen ministry in the congregation that I was leading at the time. Years later we would reconnect after he had seriously lost his way.

Act of Random Kindness - A Home Run for God!
Many of us enjoyed watching Steve Carrell in Evan Almighty. This modern adaptation of the story of Noah tells how one man, one family can help change the world. That change comes in the form of one A.R.K at a time (Acts of Random Kindness). This summer, a New Jersey Family changed our world in the Bahamas with their random act of Kindness.
How one New Jersey Family brought glory to God and 800 pounds of Baseball supplies to the Bahamas.

Overcoming Obstacles in Christ
“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” Psalm 107:2
My wife Debbie and I have been Christians for over 22 years. We have been married over 31 years. We have been blessed by the Lord with 3 sons; Russell, Trevor & Terrence, and one daughter by marriage, our dear Carmen.
Over the course of our marriage the Lord has brought many victories-in-Jesus to Debbie & I and our family. Our life experience thus far has included two house fires; my 3 time diagnosis, treatment & remission from cancer; my falling while hiking in the hills alone and breaking my leg only to be rescued the next morning; my recent retirement at age 55, from my law enforcement career due to heart disease.
