Tricia (Ingala) and I were married on June 24,1995 after our education at a Fundamental, Local Church, Bible college. We have four daughters, Bethany Joy, Victoria Joy and JoHannah Joy and Jenna Joy. After college I took the youth pastor job at my home church in Waterbury, Ct. The Lords hand was upon that ministry as when I took the position in 1995 we only had a handful of teens and in just a few years we grew tremendously. We saw teens getting saved and we saw teens were showing up for soulwinning; in fact on almost every occasion the teens out numbered the adults by 2-1. Our teens that attended public schools were burdened for their friends and would invite them out to church and we saw many teens get saved through the old fashioned message of salvation. Oh what joy it is to see a young person on fire for God.
I was the youth pastor at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Waterbury Ct. for 5 years before the need arose in our church for an assistant pastor. I took that job as an assistant pastor for 3 years before I felt the Lords calling on my life into Evangelism. The Lord used all of my past experiences to lead me into this point of my life.

 The following is the list of ministries that the Lord used us to started while at Lighthouse.

• Two nursing home ministries
• Bus/van program to reach inner city kids Jr. Church
• Friday night teen ministry
• Wed Night Teens Night
• Saturday and Sunday night prayer meetings
• Weekly soulwinning ministry
