Rick Solomon
Minister Rick Solomon has a message for everyone which comes from deep life experiences and rich encounters with Jesus Christ. In Rick's own words:
"My life has had it's ups and downs. Running with gangs as a kid; Military time including a tour in Vietnam and then assignment to special ops; Discharge from the military and then a stint as a police officer culminating in assignment to motorcycle officer; Departure from the police department and traveling the country doing personal and tactical security; Finally, a return to alternative lifestyle in the "biker world" and a belief-system that included satan worship.
The "biker lifestyle" seemed to be working for me. Alcohol, drugs, women, violence and not necessarily in that order. I really believed I was having fun. Then I ran headlong into Jesus. An incredible event. Suddenly, I wasn't suffering from hangovers. I wasn't looking over my shoulder for whoever might be following me. I was able to relax. God's covenant of peace took over my life.
Since that time I have served in the church, been a youth advisor, a youth minister, minister in a youth correctional facility, minister in prisons and jails, associate pastor and finally pastor. During this time I have been able to minister to all segments of society and people of all lifestyles.".

Ron LiCalzi
The history of my life begins and can be summed up to date in what is most important and in what clarifies the essence and motive of being; who and what makes a person tick is the stuff of how and why they live; their purpose; much more then any and all endeavors and accomplishments. Life has purpose if we know the source…
Life begins while as a young teenager sitting on a bus traveling in Brooklyn New York on a bright sunny day looking out the window as we approached the Greenwood Cemetery; is seems like only yesterday. Block after block while gazing at the hundreds of head stones and graves that could be observed from that mobile seat and had passed so many times before; but this day something struck home for the first time.
‘We live and then we die"
Is that it; we live and go into the Earth? Was that all there was to life?
My mind wanted to deny the very idea; yet questioning over and over again "was this all there is" this day where do we come from was out weighted by where we go!
Being a very introverted child, the thoughts it appeared at the time were all that mattered for that was "My" world and so my mind choose not to push this moment aside for something more acceptable, more comforting. Then as if hit by a feeling out of proportion to the time and place (later to discover the word Awe) and unexplainable, my mind saw me as a mere pebble on a beach. Not just small but tiny, insignificant, worthless and of no consequence but still not letting go or not just putting these feelings aside; now singular, alone and separated began to fill my head. The moment was a weight and a pressure that was like a thousand years of darkness encompassing and pressing… was death awaiting me right now… and in the midst of what was a spiral of emptiness, both bleak and overwhelmingly depressing, raging against every thought and feeling in that moment of hopelessness and absolute need… when a voice spoke
"Do you know who I am?"
Reality struck quickly as my mouth spoke out loud for all to hear not realizing the surroundings "Yes" and every one around turned to see this sudden outburst.
Quickly reality hit and just as quickly getting past that embarrassment, as peace flooded my being, my mind, my body and my heart, God is here… all is well… all the while being bathed in the warmth of His love.
Then that which changed my life right there, right then became the knowing of Him who spoke "Follow Me!" that was and is life… to follow…
My life, my Bio, is how He found me and how and what He has revealed to me following Him… all that can be said and all there is to hear is about "all the love there is forever!"
Do you know what your purpose is?
