He received the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior and Lord on September 15, 1997, and was admitted into a Rehabilitation program were he was delivered and disciplined in his new life in Christ. In his first year of salvation, he heard the voice of the Lord about being a preacher, missionary and received a calling into the ministry of the Lord, which God planned for his life.
