I was saved in 1993 while serving in the U.S. Army as an AH-64 Apache helicopter pilot.
On my return to the states I was stationed at Ft. Rucker, AL and began attending weekend
services at The Rock of Panama City under Apostle F. Nolan Ball. On a drive to Panama City
from Ft. Rucker, Holy Spirit said that I was "called to be an Apostle." This was confirmed
by prophetic word many times. It was during these 3 years that I met the former Leigh Lamonica
of Panama City and we wed July 1st 1995. Two months later we were transferred to Ft. Hood, TX.
It was during this time that Holy Spirit said "we would go to Boulder" and also that I needed to
leave the military and "be equipped for the ministry by F. Nolan Ball." In January 1997, our
small family left Ft. Hood and the military to return to Panama City, FL to be equipped for the
ministry. Apostle Ball brought me on staff March 15th, 1997.
We served on staff with Apostle for 7 1/2 years. During those years, I served as Children’s
Pastor, Youth Pastor, Associate Pastor and what ever else was needed. It was during those
years that I became a spiritual son of Apostle Ball. On a ministry trip to the Pacific Northwest,
Apostle Ball informed me that it was time to establish my own house in the land that Yahweh had
put into my heart. We were sent out the following September. We were sent as sons to establish a
kingdom ekklesia. A true Five-fold, Spirit-empowered family of passionate believers.
Recently, I have been compared to a cross between a Lion and a Butterfly.
The lion represents the strong spirit that can take on anything and
the butterfly represents a lightness of spirit that flies in the Rest of God.
