It has been a joy to be involved in many lives and share with them  life

experiences and a relationship with Jesus.


Many life projects: Establishing two churches in Baltimore, Maryland when my wife and I were first married in the early 1970’s.


In the late 70’s we were able to start Bethel Pentecostal Church in St. Peters, Missouri.


While teaching bible studies, I encountered a group of high students in Bethalto, Il and from this study, Landmark Pentecostal Church was born.


The Savings and Loan crisis of the mid 1980’s , happened during  the building of a new church, our  S&L went bankrupt and our funding was taken away and  so was my health. After months of struggle the project was finished, but so was I. We had to resign for health reasons and begin recovery.


1997 found me under the knife of a surgeon, I had open heart surgery. After recovery, I felt so good that my wife and two sons and I began another new church,  “Courts of Praise”, in Mesa, AZ.


October of 2006, I became pastor of Praise Center, Prescott Valley, Arizona.  Please contact us or visit our church website at www.pcopv.com. Great things are in store for you, if you dare begin a relationship with Jesus today.
