EVANGELIST
TOM OWENSBY
I started drinking when I was 14 years old and continued until age 30. Alcohol consumed a major part of my time and my life. I grew up in church but did not care about church or the things of God. Two men of God came to my house on Monday, June 5, 1978. They shared with me John 3/1-16 and asked me if I wanted Jesus in my heart. I said “yes” before my mind could stop me. At 6:30 PM on that day I prayed to receive Christ as my Lord and Savior. That night I took my family to a revival meeting at a local church and went forward at the invitation to announce to the church that I had been saved. The following Sunday I was baptized.
For the next two years I served the Lord as a Bible study teacher, deacon, Sunday School Director, and member of the choir. The Lord had called me to preach the second year following my salvation, and I began to pastor my first church in 1981. I have been in the ministry for 39 years, 16 years as a pastor and now as an evangelist for 23 years. In April 2014 God called me and fellow Evangelist Jay Hernandez to turn our attention to Mexico. The Lord has called us to go on to the mission field once a month. Since May 2014, we have completed 71 mission trips. God is moving among the people! He has shown us 6203 first time decisions! We are going strong for the glory of God and for one more soul in the precious name of Jesus.

JAY HERNANDEZ
I was born in a Christian home, and because of this, I thought that I could live any way I wanted. I thought that because my parents were godly people, I would one day grab ahold of their coattails and be saved. As life teaches us, that is not the case. At the age of 12, I was involved in a horrific car accident which nearly cost my life. After being in the hospital for 3 months and several years of reconstructive surgery on my face, not only did God restore my exterior, but he restored my interior as well. Through that experience I came to the realization that life is short. Facing death, I called out to God and challenged Him that if he was really real, he would save me and give me the opportunity to do what I was born to do.
All of my life, I have been a singer and a musician. I have known that he had given me that talent for a reason, and I promised him that I would use it for him. At the age of 16, I was offered several recording contracts, which the enemy wanted to use to distract me from God’s perfect plan. God once again saved me from the hand of the enemy, and at the age of 19, I joined the Frank Gonzales Evangelistic Association. God used that ministry to help me understand God’s purpose for my life and to draw me closer to Him. I also met and married my wife Lisa through the Frank Gonzales Ministry, and we have been married for almost 28 years! After 12 years of international ministry and almost 12 years of co-pastoring a church, Evangelist Tom Owensby invited me to be a part of Motivational Ministry, and I as I sing and he preaches to a lost and dying world in Latin America, our prayer is to see many souls come to Christ.
