Growing up
Born and raised in the South....(uhh…..Southern California) when there were orange and walnut groves and vacant fields that stretched for miles and miles. I was raised on a mini-ranch where we grew much of our own food. Chickens, goats, horses, bees, vegetable garden, fruit trees, etc. Raised in a big family, where dad and grandpa raised seven brothers and one sister. I call it the house of testosterone. There were three generations who helped get the work done and care for each other. Grandpa took care of the house after mom passed away in 1968, and we children had our own chores as well. There were goats to be milked, eggs to be gathered, weeds to be pulled and fruit to pick. Not to mention the dishes to be washed showers to be scrubbed and toilets to be cleaned. You didn't think gramps was going to do it all, did ya?
Work Experience
My work history includes over 25 years as a landlord, so I am knowledgeable and interested in legal matters, fixing household items (but I'm no expert) and maintain in good, safe working order, all building facilities and appliances. During the 90's I was a business consultant, so I may be of some assistance in establishing cottage industries on and off the property. Many years ago, when I was only 16 I managed a steakhouse near Disneyland and in my 20’s I managed a grocery store. I have no plans on returning to 'employment' since I have the best job, working for the absolute best Master known to mankind! I live by faith, which means you go without some of the conveniences of Egypt and the benefits of Babylon. I think you know what that means, because you've read the stories of the children of Israel in the wilderness. I don’t complain about my lifestyle, but rather am very content. Father provides for me in miraculous ways. I am indeed in awe of His provision.
Spiritual Journey
Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues” Revelation 18:4
We have been called out of the Babylonian system, not due to fear, but out of obedience. I see that we as a people must build a Torah based Hebrew communities all throughout the land as places of refuge where we can learn and grow into all that Father has for us. I do not believe that hiding away in a secluded spot so no one will find us is the purpose for these communities, but rather a place to come to develop a Hebraic mindset, be refreshed and knitted together as one, as He is One.
Service to the Kingdom
Most of my friends and associates call me a 'missionary', but since I do not find this title in scripture I do not refer to myself as such. Rather, I consider myself to be a servant and disciple of the Messiah of Israel. I've been involved in a ministry to the poor, the widow and the fatherless for decades. While I was in Arizona for six years we distributed thousands of meals per week, passed out several tons of food, shoes, clothing, toiletries, medical supplies, furniture, and whatever else Father gave to us to pass to other ministries we serve, such as orphanages, rehabilitation centers, elderly care facilities, feeding programs, in the U.S. and across the border in Mexico.
I have lived in the desert in 110 degrees in a metal box called a travel trailer, without running water or electricity. Not for long, mind you. If you are not willing to give up this Worlds ways, and the conveniences of Babylon, then you are not going to mature as a disciple. Not to say I wish to live without electricity, or heat in the winter. But you need to be willing to live on less than most Americans are used to. I believe we must be willing to sacrifice our comforts.
Another Heading
Hope for the Future
After a decade of traveling around Mexico and the Southwest,and now the jungles of the Ozarks, I hope to live on a ranch or farm, preferably with a group of like minded believers where we can grow our own food, produce our own power and live in peace. I am interested in organic and natural foods and leading a more self-sustainable lifestyle. My motivation is not from fear or the desire of isolation, but rather as I read, study and learn the Torah I see this is the way of our Father. He put Adam in the garden and when The King returns I believe He will bring us back to an agricultural lifestyle. I am into a Yah-sufficient lifestyle, where we can produce everything we need from our own labor. Our Heavenly Father has given us everything we need to live on, just look at the birds of the air....
I am willing to help build community in any way that I can. I am able to clean toilets, take out the trash, wash windows, or dishes, cook meals, oversee specific projects, hoe garden weeds, pick fruit, do laundry or build an fuel-alcohol still or or develop a fish farm and hope and expect to do all the above.
The Living Network
"The Kingdom of YHWH is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. When it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into containers but threw away the bad." Matthew 13
Years ago while on a walk in the forest, Father showed me a net stretched across the sky and spoke these words to me. “The Kingdom is like unto a net….” I saw faces where the knots were. We are all connected to each other in His kingdom. He does not fish with a line and a single hook. He fishes with a net!
If you would like to connect with other believers, disciples and servants of the Most High who are not Nicolaitan over-lording types, but rather treat others with autonomously, the right to believe what you will and govern your own actions without someone telling you. If you would like to meet a network of like-minded folks go to:
Making Disciples
Messiah’s last words on Earth, or rather as he was ascending, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Ruach HaQuodesh, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
Make disciples. That's my primary function. Everything that I do is based on that commandment.
I hope and pray that this has given you a bird-eye view of my hopes, goals and vision. If you have any questions, just ask.
Looking forward to getting to know you.
