"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 am writing this note for men. I just recently started praying daily with a good friend; his name is Dennis Owens. These prayers are doing something in the inside of me that is precious. I have a new appreciation for prayer and a new appreciation for my good friend’s friendship. We are open and transparent and we are standing in agreement in prayer. At this time of my life I feel that I am moving ahead in my prayer life. I am seeking the Lord in my secret place, I am enjoying great times of Bible study and prayer with family, I am praying with a man that is helping me to be accountable and from there I am able to minister through writing and as a Case Manager/Chaplain at The City Rescue Mission. I say this to say that I am all for events; however, if we don’t have a day to day follow up, if we do not have the endurance to develop prayer life, if we don’t even recognize the need for a prayer life we are wasting money in these large events. It seems like we keep waiting for this great event that is going to change America, but the only thing that is going to change America; the only thing that is going to change the church, the only thing that is going to change us is day in and day out prayer:
1. In our secret place
2. In the mix of our family
3. Praying with a Godly men you are in strong relationship with; a man that you are comfortable talking about your weakness.
4. Minister to others in the love of Christ
I strongly feel the urgency of the hour. I strongly feel that we need to be praying every day with a Godly man. These prayers are free of charge; they do not take the massive logistics of a big event and it is what this nation desperately needs.
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.

The Father loves to answer these prayers (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. (Prov. 3:5-6) Amen Dennis!
