I specialize in Parish Missions and teach the catholics the joys of our faith. Know just be the chosen to come to fulfill that holy day of obligation. But i teach to live out our faith and calling. This is a fire. This fire had to start somewhere in you. Tell us about how you got going with this. Long story short when i was in the army i heard my mothers vice in the back of my head. I was raised luthern. I didnt like that so i started going to Catholic Church. Then i started going to a Catholic Church in oakland. It was ran by father shamous. They welcomed me with open arms. I moved to st. Louis and got involved with my church their and they started talking to me about these things that started with an s and ended with an s sackments. I said i dont have any of those. I went through the process and i learned what god had been calling me too all my life. I learned the beauties of my faith. I learned the body and blood was in the euricest. I became catholic april 19th 2003. 2 years later i go out on the street corners of st. Louis and pass out bibles. I invite people into our church to come in and worship. I felt the call to start preaching and talking and the religious Education Teacher said let the spirit lead you. I started out with a hail mary and our father and i spoke about what got meant to me in our life. I was ministering to pimps, drug dealers gangbanger is. I have been able to preach all around the world. The people go to a mission what will they experience. What are the things they might experience . One of the first thing might experience is joy and excitement. I try to welcome people. I always go and shake peoples hand and feel welcome. Thats one thing this the Catholic Church. They are terrible at welcoming people. We have to work on it guys. We do. If the baptist want to convert you they hung and love on you. Lutherns will tide you until you convert. We make you feel guilty to get you to convert. The holy gospel said god feels the hearts the and lives. Thats what i bring to my mission. Upon the end of that mission their life and experience of the faith would be different the next sunday. What will be different about them . Some of what i have heard about people threw some of the missions they found that encounter. The true encounter with the eucrist. They found a true encounter with the word of god in the bible in a way they can understand that word of god and apply it to their daily lives. Some people say the next time i come to church i understand the bible a little bit better. Im able to go and read it and able to understand how it applies to my life. Im able to be in connection and better connected with god through prayer. I ask for all of the blessings and understanding that comes with our faith. I bet the faces of those people look different. They do. Thats an innext. They really do. I image people get called to ministry. Well talk about the gifts of the holy spirit and realize i have been missing this life of joy of severing. Its like a yawn. One persons yawns and its infectionous. Everyone starts to yawn. This fire given to us by the holy spirit is infectious as well. Where has the light come from.

Richard, we are talking about how do i know if god is speaking to you. Many of us talk about the sackment. Thats the holy spirit being poured out over us. In the Catholic Church there has been the renewal of the holy spirit. Talk about what that means and how people can open that up. I know thats a big thing. It all started pent pentcost. They were speaking in tongues. When we go to confirmation we shouldnt be surprised. It goes back to to explaining to our children and make making sure they meet jesus. Many catholics have never had that encounter themselves. Thats why the church has these wonderful ministries outside of the traditional. They have Church Retreats and other ways to be able to come into contact with the holy spirit. A simple way is to ask holy spirit come into my life. Exactly. The pope is talking about all of this. Encounter, encounter jesus christ. When you encounter him you cant help to talk to people. Right. Before we close i want to have you say about your ministry. You raise your own finances.
