A Word for Veterans: Thank You Sir and Thank You Madam

angelcasiano

To all my FB veterans and veterans all over this nation:

THANK YOU!

Because of you I am free today, because of you I have freedom of speech, because of you I can write with liberty and because of you I can preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ openly. You have a place of honor in my heart!

You fight even when wars make no sense; you follow orders and even disobey orders when a life is in danger. You are always willing to die for others; you understand the price of what you do, you sacrifice time with family and friends and you go to strange and hostile nations and fight to death if necessary. You fight in deserts, you fight in mountains, you fight in valleys, in jungles and in open cities. You do it with courage, with dignity and with integrity… You are an America Veteran!

You come back, many times, to see your own homes destroy; facing divorces, emotional traumas and very little respect from the very country you risked your life for in battle. But for whatever is worth, I don’t care if you are Republican, I don’t care if you are a Democrat, I don’t care f you are black or white, I don’t care if you are a Christian or none-Christian, American by birth or not or even a homosexual…I thank you Sir and I thank you Madam for your service!

For you that don’t know the Lord as your Savior and don’t even know what that means write me at: angelcasiano@aol.com and let me introduce you to a the greatest soldier of all, to the one who overpass all courage, to the one who is indeed worthy to be praise and worthy of all honor. His name is Jesus…He is the Lord of all lords and the King of all kings. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the very end; he is the Son of God, He is our Savior and the one who loves you like nobody ever will. I pray that you get to Him so that He can guide you in all truth. I pray that you be a soldier in the army of the Lord; I pray that you will get to know Him before the angel of death visit the end of your days. For you that already know the Lord, I pray that God will mightily use you as a general in His army to fight for the upcoming great and final harvest.

I salute you soldier and again thank you!

Pastor Angel Casiano

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.
