About our pastor

---

Abandoned at the age of three due to the influence of drug addiction and alcoholism by both parents. Child protective services gave custody to my maternal grandfather. Growing up in a home full of drug addiction, and physical abuse, I was sexually abused by close family members. Growing up rejected and bullied by my own family and classmates, at the age of thirteen I was placed in various foster homes where I kept experiencing sexual abuse, physical abuse and bullying in which I attempted to take my own life. At the age of Fourteen I began to experience the world of prostitution, drugs and homelessness. At age sixteen I was taken to a house of prostitution where my suffering became worst. That is when my transition began from a Male to a Transgender. I began by undergoing breast implant surgery, laser hair removal and hormone replacement therapy as part of my transition process. In 2010, God came into my life and since then he has guided my life's journey. I am now happily married and am the proud parent of two beautiful daughters.
