So what if we are suffering? So what if nothing is going your way? So what if they accuse you of something you did not do? So what if you don’t have enough money to pay that bill that is already due? So what if the electricity is cut off already? So what if you can’t pay the rent this month?
So what if you already find yourself on the street? So what if she walked out on you? So what if he can’t even pay child support? So what if they now know?
So what if your children are acting crazy? You did the best you could, but they chose to go wrong. So what if you were a worthless parent?
Can you start again? YES YOU CAN! You are alive! So it is obvious that GOD is not done with you. Beloved, no matter what you are facing, no matter the situation, no matter the magnitude of your error or your sin, you must repent; face the consequences and press on to God. He desires to restore you; I dare you to rejoice in the Lord right now, for the Bible tells us in Habakkuk 3:17-19
“17 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.” NKJV
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.
