     Let us begin our story! Linda and I met in Las Vegas NV in the summer of 1981, she had just arrived on the Las Vegas scene performing as a singing artist, with a group, called “Southern Gold”. It was love at first sight. God had His hand on our lives at that time and we did not even know it. My heritage is Italian and Greek as you might know we are one stubborn people. As Frank Sinatra sang his famous song, “I’ll do it My Way”, and “Oh Boy! Did I do it my way”. As life happens, I had begun a life of turmoil, grief and tragedy. I was married at the young age of 19. By the time I was 24, I had four children and tragedy struck. I lost two children in a home fire in Edison NJ, a son, age two and a daughter, age four In searching for an answer, on a trip to New Orleans La, I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart right on Bourbon St, by a converted Christian Jew. As the years passed by, I fell away from the Lord, then something wonderful happened; a very lovely songbird came into my life, and my way of life was not to be the same. In fact the Lord started convicting me of my lifestyle immediately through Linda, because of her love for Him. AMEN Brother!
     Linda and I decided to reside in the Las Vegas area and I convinced Linda to become her personal manager and together we pursued a music career for her with great enthusiasm. During this endeavor, Linda and I decided to get married in Las Vegas NV on Jan 7 1981. Even though we found a great deal of success in the music field, it always left emptiness in our hearts. To this day, I wish we could have said, “We always served the Lord with our talents”; however, for a season we tried to control our own lives and we were always a heartbeat away from the “Big Deal.” Yet Linda at all times knew that God had other plans for our lives. Linda had started her singing career at the very young age of three and singing her first gospel solo “He’s got the Whole World in His Hands”. At the age of 8, Linda trusted in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior in her hometown Baptist church in Greenville SC. At the age of 17, she had organized her first gospel-singing group “The Gospel Servants.” For whatever reason, Linda had also strayed away from the Lord, and turned her attentions to the music field sharing the stage with some of the top-performing artists such as: Johnny Cash, George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others.
     We have now committed our lives to His services, abandoned our past lifestyle, and are now ministering for the Glory of God, whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself. Daily, we seek the Lord’s will for our lives and this ministry that He has called us to. We thank Him, that he still loves us even though we have not always served Him. He has taken these broken vessels; formed, shaped, and molded us to be filled with His Holy Spirit. Know this one thing for sure, " THERE IS NO TURNING BACK."
     Over the last seven years as traveling Evangelists we began to realize how negative and pressed down the people were in this great nation of ours. They have lost the American Dream for a greater and more prosperous life that the Lord had promised us in His word. In our travels we were introduced to a wonderful opportunity that will allow us to not only witness to the lost and hurting people, but to also reach down and help them realize their greatest dreams and desires of their heart.
     As God's wonderful blessings on our lives has opened this great door of opportunity for us to minister even with a greater passion for Him, we would now like to share this with every person that is willing to dream. We thank the Lord for allowing us this privilege to serve Him and invite you to check out our link - "Do You Have a Dream?".
