The Encounter

In April 2015 I had an encounter with Jesus Christ. I went to the bar in downtown Orlando, Florida but felt different that night and left early.  When I arrived at my apartment in Winter Park, FL I parked the car and started to think about my life. Therefore, I began to realize that I am not happy with my life and started to cry. Suddenly, I heard a powerful voice say “Rodrick give me 100%.” Immediately, I knew it was Jesus Christ the Son of God and when I agreed to His words I became Born Again. 

 

The love of Christ filled my car and when I walked out of my car I was a new creature in Christ.  Jesus Christ rescued me from that dark place in my life and I am thankful, grateful, and honored to be called a Child of God. Now I am on a passionate pursuit for the lost in the nations of the Earth before Jesus returns. To tell them it is a way out of your circumstances and you do not have to go to Hell.  Jesus died over 2,000 years ago for your sins and rose again on the third day so you can be with Him in Heaven one day.

When did you receive the call into Full-Time Ministry? 

 

In 2016, My Lord Jesus Christ called me into the full-time ministry through a dream. Shortly after, while attending a Christian band concert named Jesus Culture a person told me about The River University after the concert had ended. I prayed about the opportunity and Jesus told me to go to Bible school at The River University in Tampa, Florida. A place founded by Drs. Rodney and Adonica Howard Browne the vision is to train up revivalists for the 21st century. Therefore, in December 2016, I quit my corporate job in Orlando, Florida, and packed my apartment things into a U-Haul and moved to Tampa, Florida.

 

When did you know you were called to become a Missionary to the Nations? 

 

In January 2017, my first month as a River University student I received the calling to become a Missionary. While attending Dr. Rodney Howard Browne Winter Camp Meeting he was on stage talking about Missions on stage. Therefore, March 2017 I had a dream of Africa and that dream started the journey to the nations of the earth. My first stop was in Tanzania with a missions organization from 2020-2025. Thus, moving forward I am bringing the Gospel to more nations of the earth before Jesus Christ returns.
