Fred was ordained into the Gospel Ministry in 1999. It is not unusual to see him actively involved in music, in and out of the church. On his resume his personal statement is, “I am called to minister the ministry of Jesus Christ, with God’s people, spreading the Gospel to all, through music using all of God’s gifts given to me. This ministry plan is not derived from self but is evident of God’s plan and calling in my life. It is affirmed in my life with continuous staff positions since 1990. My objective is to serve God in this capacity and any other which is parallel to the gifts and education provided to me through His will.”
