In his ministerial staff position, he has supported and led a number of ministries in the church starting with the Worship, Prison, Evangelism, Wednesday Night Teaching and Preaching, and Men s Ministries.

Minister Coles next step in church life has been prepared by God, giving him a measure of Faith that has grown over many years of dedicated service, education and training. He feels the preached Word of God is the light that will remove all darkness in your life, and this was confirmed through Holy Scripture he received in a dream, the Gospel of John 1:1-5 (KJV) which says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. He is motivated continuously by his favorite song, Amazing Grace, a song of God s Grace through redemption in His Son Jesus Christ to keep him grounded in the knowledge and understanding that it is God s grace, amazing grace that brought him to this point in his life. It will be God s grace that fortifies and builds his ministry to fulfil God s purpose in his life. He is joined in this next stage of his life s journey with his wife, Connie, two children Isiah (Ike, Jr.), Tiffany and grandson Isiah III. Please join Ike as he walks by faith through this next stage on his life s journey. To God be the glory for the things he has done!

7 God Ordained Trials Learn from Apostle Paul s and Job s life lessons, for faith s gold will be tested and purified; tribulations are faced by God s daughters and sons, but only through Christ - can one be justified. The troubles of the day will eventually find us; but will you be prepared by the principles of Love? Remember the divine words of the Lord Christ Jesus and draw strength from His righteous Kingdom above. The rain falls on both the Just and Unjust; so you might as well expect to get wet; develop an atmosphere of faith and in Him trust; live your life transparently without regrets. So open your spiritual eyes and plan ahead; develop a Godly relationship that s versatile, knowing your faith will be surely tested with the experiences of God ordained trials. By Joseph J. Breunig 3rd
