"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)
I went to the beach this morning; I needed to hear from God! It was so early that it was still dark. The sound of the sea; I was not able to see; walking and hoping that there were no holes in the sand; It was a little scary I must admit! Just like some of the challenges we face! But I knew that the sun was coming out; that it was a matter of time. And then; little by little, even as I was not able to see the sun, I started seeing light… just like faith I heard the Lord say: “We can’t see God, but He is there every step of the way.” I have problems, many problems; challenges that I can’t resolve and a pain that does not go away, but the Light is coming for sure, the Light is coming… The Sun finally came out; it was so beautiful. The sound of the sea was not scary anymore; I was now able to see. I don’t know how, but some way, somehow, everything is already well. I am healthy, I am alive, I am blessed, my hope still dances in my heart and I am ready for another day.
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.

Can I tell you my Bro. that you are a precious! a men of GOD and so you experiences are precious! You are a Lieutenent in the army of the LORD. You are a man of battle (maybe that’s why you are almost always in the trenches), choosen to lead an army against the hipocracy and all the foolishness that is being trying to consume us from within. Call more than anything else to be real and to be for real as an example to all of us. You are a blessing to me Beloved. And so when GOD speak to you He does to me, when touch you He touches me and when He embraces you I can feel the impact here where I am. You are family my Bro. or perhaps more than family, you are my friend. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. I love to hear from you always.
Thank you Lord Jesus for your faithfulness! I know first hand how GREAT it is!
