¿Cuál es la realidad de la vida? El gran hombre sabio nos dice que todo es vanidad. ¿Quién se mantiene fiel? Quién te ama después de ver la obscuridad de tu alma? Amigos vienen y van y el destino nos lleva aquí y nos lleva allá.
¿Qué hago en este mundo? ¿Cuál es mi santo propósito? A veces me siento tan solo, tan lejos de mi tierra, de mis padres y de mis amigos de la infancia. Soy un extranjero y por siempre seré un extranjero alejado de mi tierra. Relaciones pasajeras, superficiales y huecas; estoy rodeado de gente que no me conoce.
Algunos han creado una imagen de quién soy, pero no conocen mi verdadero corazón. Es un día de sombra en donde el sol de la esperanza no brilló. Mi alma está pesada, cargada de espinas de dolor y remordimiento. ¿Cuál es la realidad de mi vida? ¿Ha dónde se fueron mis amigos; mis verdaderos amigos?
¿Cuál es mi historia? Perdí a la mujer de mi juventud, conocí luego las puñaladas del divorcio y conozco íntimamente la dificultad de un nuevo comenzar. Todo es vanidad, en este mundo todo es pasajero, todo es superficial y nada permanece. Rescátame mi amado Jesús, llena mi alma de tu ternura. El fracaso se ríe de mi, se burla a carcajadas. ¿Será este el final de mi camino?
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.
