Amos Ministries
One doesn't need to be a prophet to do God's will.
Our Team.
Howdy, web surfer, and seeker of truth, knowledge, and fellowship!
You have found the blog site of Amos Ministries and home of the “Fathers' Voices Series.” We are focused on providing an opportunity to fellowship with people, from around the world, studying the Bible, and offering chances to grow with you. We are also dedicated to bringing about a better world. This can range from:
-
Discussions about other political parties [US], such as the Libertarian, Constitutional, and many others.
-
Why all people should take an active role in their community, and government.
-
Genocide happening in South Africa, and to raise awareness of it.
-
The struggles fathers go through, around the world, in a stacked system.
-
And many other topics.
Amos Ministries is led by a disabled US Navy veteran, of Operation Enduring Freedom. He has been out of the USN since Sept. 2004. There have been ups and downs. Drove back and forth across the US, multiple times. Had a share of false criminal charges, that through the mercy and love of The Father, have overcome. However, it's not over. Many dads are going through wrongful struggles, just to see the precious gifts that are children. The time for our voices to be heard, is now.
Nowadays, the odds are grievously stacked against dads. For those on a limited income, all that is needed is for the woman to contact legal aide, and they don't even have to represent her, but they won't help the dad, because of a "conflict of interest." In many places, any sort of "government assistance" will even tell the women to do this! Some women are so spiteful, they will contact every law firm they can, just to create that "conflict of interest." Reform is DESPERATELY needed! Two different real estate agents can represent a buyer and seller in a real estate transaction, even if they're from the same firm. Similar needs to be done, for law firms!
Amos Ministries' goal, with its “Fathers' Voices” aims to address this, and many other problems that The People endure.

This is a bit more about “the man with the plan,” and to help give you a little more of the “why I’m doing this.”
I’m a disabled US Navy Veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom. I was aboard the USS Essex, stationed in Sasebo, Japan. I arrived at my duty station on September 7, 2001. As you may imagine, on the day of September 11, 2001, was beyond words. As a new enlistee, I didn’t really have duties, per say, and was told I could go out on the base. However, most everything was closed. During that time, I traveled throughout the Pacific, including Australia, Guam, and much of southeast Asia.
Between then and now, I had the misfortune of being a homeless vet. I got into a nasty auto accident, driving up in the mountains [I spent about 1/2 my life living in Florida, so mountain driving is rather different]. Messed up my car, bad, railing, and wasn’t able to work so well. I was also located in a very rural area, with a tiny population of less that 1,000, and the closest “towns” were about 60 miles off.
VA and other such resources were overtaxed, and it was only from friends who lived another 3 hours south, and their church, that I was able to get to the city, and get my car “redneck rebuilt,” and get back on my feet. And that begins what I’m looking at.
I’ve “been there, done that, and lost the movie rights.” 25% of the homeless are veterans; but it’s not only veterans I want to help. It’s estimated that for everyone homeless person, there’s between 3 – 6 vacant homes in the US. HUD and other such programs are maxed, in many parts of the US. Just to get on the list can be 2 – 4 years, and another few years, to actually get the voucher…and life goes on, while they struggle.
