FOUNDER

Here we are now in 2022. I’ve been a Christian for 13 years, God is good I’m still serving teaching the bible and ministering to the youth in the neighborhood I grew up in Clark/Fulton in Cleveland Ohio. What I’ve learned over the years being a child of God is that God in His timing for his plan will accomplish his purpose for our life, we are to love, trust and obey Him and serve . As we move forward building this site and the future training center I thank God for His grace and what He put on my heart 13 years ago. I do believe he will finish what He started, I needed trained up these past 13 years I thank God for all the Godly people He has brought into my life to bring me to this next step in raising up the youth.
