The Encounter

While attending Full Sail University, Rodrick had an encounter with Jesus Christ 6 months into obtaining his Master’s degree.  In April 2015, Rodrick was at the bar in downtown Orlando, Florida which was a normal location for him. That night something was different and Rodrick felt in his heart he was tired of the lifestyle he was living.  He left the bar early and started driving his car back to his apartment in Winter Park, Florida.  After arriving in his apartment complex Rodrick was sitting in his car thinking about his life.  Nobody was with Rodrick in the car nor outside standing around and as Rodrick started to think about his life he started to cry.  As Rodrick was crying inside of his car Jesus spoke to him and said “Rodrick give me 100%.”  Rodrick gave his life to Jesus inside of his car and became Born Again and from that moment God started directing Rodrick’s life. Now, Rodrick is on a passionate pursuit for the people who do not know Jesus throughout the nations of the earth before Jesus returns.  Telling them God has a plan for their lives and Jesus loves them.

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.
