"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV)
Do you doubt God’s love for you? Are you convinced of His love and faithfulness towards a fallen humanity? Consider these facts from God’s Word:
In the Garden of Eden, God showed us His idea of the true “Good Life”. He told us to be fruitful, to conquer, to enjoy, to care for, and to have dominion over the Garden.
Through Adam, mankind opened the door for the Enemy to battle our minds, striking our heels and affecting our stride. From the beginning, God provided a window for us to view His redemptive plan for repairing the tragedy of a fallen humanity.
Through Noah, God gave us the rainbow as a symbol that He would not give up on His quest to bring salvation to mankind. No matter what we do, the rainbow still stands as a supernatural symbol of hope, reminding us that God is still working in us and through us.
Through Abraham, God showed us the power of one man’s faith. In His awesomeness, God gave us a new and peculiar nation and made them an object of His favor. It is through Israel that God’s blessing continues to be released to the world, even today.
Through Moses, God revealed His high standards, His power, His expectations and His heart. Through His precious law, His ways were made clearer to mankind. He provided humanity with wonderful blessings and terrifying curses, and gave us the choice of which path to take. His law shows humanity the bleak existence we have without Him, but his immeasurable love stands as a banner of hope for those who accept Him.
Through David, God established His kingdom forever and announced to the world the coming of the King of kings. When all hope was almost vanished, and the descendants of David were no more, Jesus opened the Covenant to the world.
Through Christ, the veil of the old is broken and the new wine is served. Through the Holy Spirit, the law is no longer external, but speaking softly in our minds and written in our hearts. We can now see for ourselves the magnitude and splendor of our God, and His indescribable love and faithfulness.
An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. Angel was born in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1968, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán in 1991. That same year he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. After working construction jobs for a year and learning the English language, his first job working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker was with Jacksonville Youth Sanctuary in September of 1992. With JYS he was promoted several times as group home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director.
While in Jacksonville, Angel studied a couple of martial arts styles. After earning his black belt, he became the founder of Good Fight Ministries as he used martial arts as an instrument to preach the gospel. In 2004 Angel was selected Martial Arts Instructor of the Year for the State of Florida and in 2005 Angel was inducted in the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame where he also received the Christian Spirit Award. In July of 2005 Angel accepted his call to pastor a bilingual church in Winton, NC where he served for a couple of years. Five months later he lost his first wife to cancer in December of that same year. This initiated a deep valley of suffering in his life, a mountain of costly mistakes and the embracing of lifestyles of sin that are well documented through this blog.
In August of 2012 Angel moved to Fairbanks Alaska with his wife Rayette Casiano and six children who are now adults. In Alaska, Angel continued his social work-related career and his ministry of preaching, teaching and writing. Angel is the author of two books, Hope for the divorcee: Forgiving and Moving Forward and 7 Banderas de Esperanza: La Bendición de Yokdzonot.
In January 8th of 2020 Angel and his wife moved to Arizona. On June 8th 2021 Angel started his home church, not as a starting point, but as a closer way to how the church is suppose to look like according to Scripture.
