Blind, nearly since birth, music has always been a huge part of my day to day life..... I have a fairly extensive background in numerous musical genres, having worked in a regional music industry for 30 years as a studio and touring musician for a plethora of groups and artists in Hawaii, Southern California, and Las Vegas.... I've also worked a lot on my own, doing a few studio albums, and working bar/restaurant gigs for many years.... I have also helped quite a few worship teams in my time in music, as a drummer, bassist, and guitarist..
The point of even mentioning all that though, is to emphasize what a true blessing it is to be serving with Divine Revelation Ministries today.... Just before i got a chance to serve here for the first time in September of 2022, for months prior, i had been listening to a lot of the old gospel and spiritual songs that i have always loved since i was very young...... And i felt, all the time i was listening to these songs, strongly rooted in the word, that God was gently nudging me home...... I'm tearing as i write this, because my own personal life is far from perfect, and I had always longed to be somewhere that i feel i can not only belong, but be useful, and not used..... The work i do in the world had always just been the work i do, with a few exceptions, but for the most part, I always felt very empty...... and seeing the craziness around me regularly only intensified the emptiness and feeling that i was merely a tool to be used for the world, rather than a useful heart to serve in a more lasting and fulfilling work..
From the day i started serving here, I felt the holy spirit in ways i never imagined possible.... And this is coming from someone who is very jaded, very cynical in a lot of things.. But everyone was so welcoming, so kind in allowing someone who was away from God for so long to come and answer God's call to serve.... I truly believe he put Pastor Lucky, Pastor Nick, their families, and the entire DRM family in my life for a very good reason.... It is an absolute joy to serve God, and do what we do to usher in the holy spirit whenever we worship.....
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” - Colossians 3:16
I am very blessed to be serving as music director for this family, a role i have never taking on before for any ministry..... But when God calls, I will answer to the best of my ability, as i now finally have a chance to truly use a gift i was given, and not just the talent I often feel i've mostly squandered... Now, I'm so grateful to do God's work, with a joyful heart, and an amazing church family......
