Hello

I grew up in church from the time I was born. Early on, I became accustomed to learning about the Lord and was taught about Jesus as the Savior. At a very young age, I had given my life to the Lord. Additionally, my grandfather was called to the streets of Haight Ashbury and became the head of Teen Challenge in San Francisco in the late 60s. As a result, I grew up around ministry and personally witnessed the many lives my grandparents touched through their ministry.

​

At about 22 years old, I had a strong sense that there was more to my faith. So, I called out to God and earnestly sought 'MORE.' During this time, God led me to a powerful church where I formed a friendship with the pastors. The senior pastor and his wife became my spiritual parents and mentors. It was through their guidance and wisdom that I delved deeper into understanding the Holy Spirit, faith, and received profound revelations of God.

​

This experience had a tremendous impact on both my personal life and ministry. It ignited a deep passion within me for serving in various ministries, and I eagerly embraced every opportunity that came my way. I enthusiastically took on leadership roles in the street ministry, assisted in the children's ministry, organized young adult ministry, led college age Bible studies, served as an usher, and even managed sound systems. My determination to contribute and serve led me to invest my time and energy wholeheartedly into these ministries.

​

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and growth, I completed a two-year course in Biblical Studies and obtained my credentials. This educational foundation equipped me to pursue further endeavors. Subsequently, I established a school where I taught a comprehensive Biblical and Pastoral course, enabling students to earn their degrees in these fields.

​

At 25 years old, I had the privilege of marrying Cindy Ceccato, the most beautiful woman in the world, and together we were blessed with two children. It was during this joyous time that our ministry journey began. We wholeheartedly embraced the decision to enter into full-time ministry, with a specific focus on ministering to the youth and young adults.

​

In our second year as full-time youth ministers, an extraordinary event took place that forever impacted our ministry. Following our youth camp, a youth revival broke out, and its effects were radical. Our initial small group of 15 young people exploded over night with rapid growth, to over 100 youth gathering weekly. This remarkable surge in numbers significantly altered the course of our ministry and presented us with a promising future.

​

After devoting nine years to full-time youth ministry, we began to discern the leading of the Lord towards transitioning into pastoral roles. In 2004, with the support and blessing of our pastors, we courageously decided to leave Visalia, California, and embark on a new journey to pioneer a church in Bakersfield, California. This step marked a significant milestone in our ministry as we embraced the call to shepherd and lead a congregation.

​

We are currently embarking on another transformative journey to elevate the vision that God imparted to me over 25 years ago to a higher level. Our mission is to extend our reach to pastors and ministers, providing them with encouragement and ministering to the Body of Christ through a life-transforming message of hope. Our ultimate goal is to prepare them for revival, equipping them to effectively lead and inspire their congregations. We are passionately committed to sharing this message of hope, encouragement, and revival with pastors and ministers, knowing that it has the power to bring about significant transformation in the lives of individuals and the Church as a whole.
