Sonrise Ministries of Texas, Inc
Biography
Sonrise Ministries of Texas was
first established in 1980 in Mobile,
Alabama as Sonrise Ministries. When
I moved to Texas, I changed the name
to Sonrise Ministries of Texas, Inc.
We currently are members of Bay
Area Gospel Music Association, South
Texas Gospel Music Association;
Southern Gospel Music Association;
Southern News; and International
Association of Music Ministries.
I
hold a BS Degree in Education (Math
and Science), BA in Biblical
Studies, Masters Degree in Computer
Science; and I am presently working
on a Masters/Doctors Degree in
Biblical Theology. My precious
wife, Alice holds a degree in
Business Administration and is
currently working on her BA/Masters
Degree in Biblical Theology.
I
play the keyboard and drums. We
have a tape (CD) ministry of sermons
that are aired on the KCYL radio
every Sunday. We presently have six
(6) albums that we've recorded plus
a Christmas Album and I am working
on number seven and a new Christmas.
You can find the albums name and
songs on the Information Page on
www.sonriseministriestexas.com
. All sermons and CD are available
for an offering to support the
ministry.
My
wife and I travel anywhere God leads
us. We have been as far as
Tennessee, Alabama, Oklahoma,
Michigan and Louisiana ministering
the spoken Word and singing. We go
into prisons to minister to those
that are incarcerated. We find this
most rewarding. We traveled to
Europe this Spring in May on a 10
church tour in England, Scotland and
Ireland with Larry Strum
Ministries. We just completed a 6
church crusade in Alabama. In
February we will be with The
Relations and others on a Gospel
Cruise going to Mexico. Right now
our radio program on Sunday mornings
on KCYL in Lampasas, Texas have been
put away for a season; however, we
still have sermons that can be heard
at your convenience. God has richly
blessed us with many listeners and
they still want to receive the
messages God has given us.
Holding a 9th degree Black Belt in
two different disciplines of martial
arts (Isshinryu and Shitoryu), we
hold youth revivals and minister to
the young people about Jesus Christ.
I am
retired from the military, as a
Command Sergeant Major. I spent two
tours in Vietnam, two tours in
Germany, one in Korea, one in
Okinawa, one in Japan and various
other short term assignments around
the world and the rest in the states
for a total of 21 years. I�ve
taught school, Math and Science,
until I had to retire because of a
stroke in 2000. I am now 100%
disable and my wife and I love
serving the Lord Jesus Christ full
time.
My
wife, Alice, travels with me, not
only for support but she also sings
with me on some of the songs. This
is the best way that we can serve
our Lord. What a privilege it is to
serve Him! Our belief is that the
Bible is the unchangeable Word of
God. We believe that Jesus died on
the cross, rose from the dead, and
now sits at the right hand of our
Almighty Father, preparing a place
for us for the day when He calls His
children home. We believe that ALL
of God�s promises are true and that
if we stand on His Word that He will
be faithful and true to us. We
believe that we can have a
victorious life through Jesus Christ
because Christ lives within our
hearts and in our lives and because
He overcame the world, so can
we. We also believe that we are
seeing the last days. Satan is
aware that his time is getting short
and he is lashing out with all his
might, killing, stealing, and
destroying, discouraging frightening
and whatever else he can cause to
discourage the child of God.
However, Christ gives the Christian
the armor and the power to withstand
Satan. We must persevere, be
steadfast, and faithful, for there
is no weapon formed against us that
any can harm us. All of the lies
and deceit can�t touch us, but the
trial will only make us stronger to
withstand the test and make each
trial a blessing. Overcoming a
stroke, cancer surgery and a heart
attack (two blocked arteries behind
my heart), we have learned that even
in the valley, God is good!
Romans 8:28
says
�For ALL
things work together for good to
them that love the Lord and are the
called according to His purpose.�
We
would like to be a part of your
worship services and minister to
your congregation in song and Word.
We come on a love offering basis
only. We have learned to never
limit what God can do and because of
this, God has richly provided ALL of
our need according to His riches in
Glory by Christ Jesus. Also, our
greatest riches are stored up in
heaven. We do this in hopes that we
might reach someone that is lost,
hurting, or perhaps even in
despair. Because of what God has
allowed me to go through, He has
graciously given to me the ministry
of encouragement, wow, what a
blessing. If we may join your
services, please call either of the
numbers listed above. We are
available for Homecomings, Revivals,
Anniversaries, Birthdays, Funerals,
or just some good old fashioned
gospel singing. Until then, we will
be praying for your church by name.
On
March 18, 2006, STGMA Gospel Music
Association awarded me �2006 Male
Soloist of the Year� and �2006
Special Achievement Awarded for
Unlimited Dedication and Service��
this was an honor I did not expect�
In August, God allowed me to win the
Senior Division of TGTS (Texas
Gospel Talent Showcase � �Inspire
The Desire�), and I say that to say
this, if I ever receive any praise,
let it go to Calvary.
If
you would like to just get in
contact with us that we may pray
with you, our information is below.
May God bless you and yours
immensely, as only He can bless you.
