Born in September of 1956 to a caring and loving family, at 8 years of age I realized God's prophetic calling in my life. I am thankful to have Christian influences in my life, which have continued into adulthood. Having been taught in Sunday School and Training Union classes in a rural Baptist church, helped develop my hunger and desire to seek and serve my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Although my teenage and early young adult life were filled with rebellion and flagrant sin, I still knew the undeniable conviction of Holy Spirit calling me to a deeper relationship with Father God.

Establishing a family, marrying Anita Matheny in 1977, and having a son, Kevin Wade, I realized an unfulfilled need in my life. Crying out to my Father God, to forgive me and cleanse me with the Precious Blood of HIS son Jesus, I set out on a journey that has taken me and my family into HIS secret place, which HE reserved for those who obey HIS calling.

The passing of both parents, left me with a heart empty and desparate for meaning, Anita and Kevin suffered alongside me during those years of searching and then, finding and experiencing a relationship and understanding of God based on Truth and Revelation from Holy Spirit.

As Anita and I walk daily with Christ, we obediently submit ourselves to HIS service, as in the past we have been both Youth and Young Adult leaders, Adult Bible Study teachers, where being joined together as helpmates in this ministry, we diligently continue our journey through this life serving HIM. Having received the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit while attending a Spirit-filled meeting in my rebellious teenage years, that single event led me to a greater understanding of who I am in Christ and HIS calling, giftings and guidance through Holy Spirit.

From serving HIM many years in a denominational church environment, God moved us into a new and larger spiritual mansion. I greatly appreciate the obedient pastors, teachers and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ who have prayed for our marriage and our family to remain faithful to and obedient in serving God where ever we are.

Anita and I are currently ministering in a Non-Denominational fellowship of Believers in Christ, along with many childhood friends and many new friends we have met and serve with.

Our son Kevin, who is ordained and currently serving in ministry at First Baptist Church in Belmont, MS. as Full Time Youth Minister, and with his wife, Laura and their 2 children, Karli and Laine, are faithfully obeying God's call to servanthood. Planning to attend seminary classes Kevin desires to serve Christ in a broader and more effective area of ministry, fulfilling an even greater calling upon his life,

Our Father God, as HE promised has blessed our family and enlarged our territory, beyond anything we could have ever hoped, dreamed or asked for. Every answer from HIM being Yes and Amen, for we serve an awesome God! HIS WORD, being sown into our hearts has truly grown over these years. We understand HIS desire that we must also plant the SEED of HIS WORD, teach and encourage other Believers in Christ to find, live and grow in their New Life in Christ, and serve HIM as faithful and obedient servants.

Truly HIS Kingdom is established and will forever continue to grow until the Harvest is fulfilled.

Serving Christ, HE Reigns Eternal!
