In The Beginning
I truly believe God was preparing me for this ministry
from the moment I accepted Christ as my Savior on
March 4, 1967. I was working at The American
Publishing Company as a layout and design artist when
a new pastor in our area invited me to a Word of Life
Youth Rally in Brookdale Baptist Church in Bloomfield,
N.J. on March 4,1967. That Night I accepted Jesus
Christ as my personal Savior. I knew I needed to be
able to tell others about Jesus Christ. With the help of
that Pastor, James Gent, I was enrolled In Tennessee
Temple Bible School, College and Temple Baptist
Theological Seminary in less then 90 days. I Studied
there until August of 1970.

The Years of Preparation for this Ministry
In September of 1970 , the Lord led me to Child
Evangelism Fellowship Institute in Muskegon,
Michigan where I learned about Story Telling And
Flannel Graph , Radio Drama, and even Television
Production with "The Tree House Club" starring Earl
the purple squirrel. Odd, yes, but God had a plan for
my life. I just didn't know it yet. At the completion of
my training, I accepted the call as Passaic County
director of Child Evangelism Fellowship, where God
used me as the youngest director in the history of
Child Evangelism Fellowship, to do a remarkable work
with some remarkably talented teenagers as summer
missionaries. One of those teenagers was George W.
Wiesner, III, now known as the world famous organist
of Radio City Music Hall for over 25 yrs. During that
first summer, George would be used by God to write
and perform the musical background for a story God
had me write, "The Ballad of Two Brothers", which
was recorded by Family Radio for Word Record Co. ,
and played on Family Radio thoughout the United
States, in 1971.

When I first got to school I was given a work assignment
to the Charles F. Weigle Music Building, the writer of
great songs like "No-one Ever Cared For Me Like
Jesus" and "A Garden of Roses is Jesus". You can't be
sharing the testimony of a blessed man of God like that
to visitors and students without it influencing your life,
so music became a great part of my Christian Service.

Then in 1973 Calvary Bible Church in West Milferd,
N.J. Called me as youth director and we did living
dramas including "The Funeral of "I. Will Later"
and "The Church In The Year 2525", which God
used to win hundreds of teens and adults to a saving
knowledge of The Lord Jesus Christ. While in the
Northeast I also ministered with my father (Captain
New York New Jersey area.
Then in 1976 I was hired by The Walt Disney World
Co. as a Voice for the Company. Giving me the
privilege to sing for 25 years in the Cast Candle
Light Choir. I transferred into Retail Store design,
and after September 11, 2001 moved to Security
operations.
In 1994 we started Splendor Ministries as a part time
ministry to help Performers and churches as we
could, and through the years it has developed to the
point where it is today. We now have a board of
directors, assets and even our own Chapel with
weekly services. To God Be The Glory!!
