The phraseology employed in this Statement is not inspired nor contended for, but the truth set forth is held to be essential to a full-gospel ministry.

Upon graduating from high school, he immediately joined the military and enlisted in the United States Air Force and was stationed in Alaska, Arizona, and Louisiana. In 1994, while serving on an overseas tour and seeking the Lord, he encountered Jesus Christ and began to sense a call of God to the ministry. He returned to the States where he was stationed in Shreveport, Louisiana, and he began to prepare himself for that call by attending an Urban Bible Training School and Global University.
