Dennis
Treasurer / Webmaster
Bio: I am a 59-year-old male, who has found new hope and a better way to live out my purpose in life as a faithful servant of Jesus Christ. Called to serve God in June 2012 founded Disciple of Christ Ministries and Pen Pals for Jesus a prison correspondence ministry. Becoming an Ordained Christian Minister on December 20, 2012.
I am currently working on developing this ministry so I can reach those who are seeking changes in their lives. For the past eight years I have been seeking Jesus and studying his Word. What I have learned has forever changed my life. It all started when I realized I was powerless over my own life. I had hit the lowest point in my life and finally fell to my knees and asked God for direction, strength and the ability to change my defects. That is when I felt His presence in my life, and was lead to the Bible and started to be shown the Love that God has for us. As I continued asking questions and seeking answers, the more God was placing people in my life to help me on my new journey of becoming a Christian.
