However, during those years of preaching and pastoring (29yrs), I was not a Christian. I was born again in Phoenix, Arizona, in August 1999 after attending Victorious Living International Counseling Center. I was deceived and lost until I was 48 years old. I preached and taught the bible as a job and for the security it brought. But I was lost and on my way to hell. Yes, "Religious, but Lost!" Now after 14 years, out of ministry, the Lord has called me to be a shepherd of His flock. I accept this in joy, yet in fear and with a sober mind.
