Well, I am back to the wonderful world of Social Media. I was tempted to write about a few events, but I purposely stayed out of it.
So much has happened in my life in the last 40 days. I am now enjoying a week off from work. Monday I start a new job with a different agency, ResCare. I have to give glory to HIM who is faithful, He blessed me with a new job, same title of Care Coordinator, but making almost five-dollars an hour more. You will never be a millionaire working in Social and Human services jobs, but no other company has paid me more that this one. Again, glory to God!
I am also in the process of starting my Masters in Counseling with Liberty University. I am just waiting for my transcripts to arrive from the Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico and I will be set to start in June of this year. I thank God for my wonderful wife Rayette, who encouraged me to start this masters; what a blessing is to have a good wife!
Well, I am back, what do you want to talk about?
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.
