At the core of it, I am a Christian counselor who prays with people all over the world.
I am also an author, lifelong Catholic, father of two and grandfather of nine who lives with his wife of nearly forty years in rural Michigan. I received my Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies degree in 2019 from Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit Michigan and am, or have been involved in many different ministries including hospital, hospice, jail, drug and alcohol rehab and others, I have brought healing, deliverance and the gospel to thousands of people and have personally witnessed the Lord heal over a thousand individuals. I have spoken in Catholic and non-Catholic churches, to lay organizations, seminarians and priests in the US and internationally on many topics. As a speaker, I bring a unique approach to the gospel through my hands-on stories of witnessing healing and deliverance.
How this ministry came to be…
I guess the first time I prayed with anyone for healing was when my mom had back surgery and to say that it didn’t go well would be an understatement. Desperate, I prayed for her after she was out of recovery and was settled in her room. It wasn’t an instant healing, but her pain lessened and her projected five day stay lasted only three days. From that point forward, I started reading books, watching videos and learning all I could about charisms. I had discerned a calling to the Diaconate in my church but decided that wasn’t the path I should follow. I chose for a capstone project for my master’s degree the task of starting a healing prayer team in my church and as a result, my wife and I saw many healed of all types of afflictions over the years. The ministry slowly expanded and arrived at the point where it was taking more time than I had. More and more were people were coming for healing prayer with all types of needs and we were seeing more and more miracles (praise God).
Those were good days. Every week we went to church and expected to see our friends and fellow parishioners be healed – and many were. My wife and I saw ourselves like paramedics on a battlefield, patching up the wounded and each person we met was suffering from some illness or wound. Around this time I heard a talk from a priest named John Ricardo who spoke about how our life on earth was like World War II. He then drew parallels between the cross and D-Day and just as D-Day (June 6, 1944) did not mark the end of the war, (which occurred on August 15, 1945), it marked the beginning of the end because after D-Day, the enemy was on the run and we were advancing. The same goes for the cross because although we still have battles to fight the outcome of the war is certain and we are the victors because the die has been cast and the end of Satan’s rule is in site. The cross (and D-Day) marked a definite turning point in history.
But for me, life – and the war – went on. Then, right in the middle of 2025, after 29 years working for a major automotive manufacturer, I and hundreds of others were summarily fired. No reason or notice was given, we just showed up for work one day and found that our badges no longer let us into the building. What was I to do? I wasn’t old enough to retire and leaving an IT job that paid well was not part of my plan. But God knew this was coming. He had been preparing for this day for many years, but only now was I beginning to see the pieces fall in place. To be sure, I knew that there would be battles I would have to fight, but I knew that God had planned the outcome and for me, the war is already won.
Oh, by the way, I was fired on June 6, 2025 – the anniversary of D-Day.
The week before I was fired, I was interviewed on a podcast with a global audience. That was the day that this ministry went from something I did when I had time, to becoming the center of my life (and I thank God for it). To be sure, getting fired was difficult, but I am now able to concentrate on helping others full time. Now, I encounter 150-160 people per month from countries all over the world. I pray (over the Internet) with them and the testimonies of physical, emotional and spiritual healings are non-stop, and I get to see miracles happen every day! It’s a modern-day miracle because with technology I get to meet and pray with people from New York to Los Angeles, from Saskatchewan to Sao Palo, from London to Rome and Kolkata to Lisbon and everywhere I go, I find people who need God.
