2 COR. 5:20 Therefore, we are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God were making an
appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of
Christ, be reconciled to God.

Introduction
The year was 1974 I was living in upstate New
York attending Rochester Institute of
Technology attending RIT to follow my fathers
footsteps to have a career in the printing
Industry. It was at RIT where I begin reading
the bible daily and where I accepted Jesus Christ
as my Lord and Saviour. Since accepting Jesus
Christ 49 years ago it has been a wonderful
journey with the Lord directing my paths. Has
it been a perfect path? My answer, far from it.
In fact the roads have been bumpy along the
way. The good news is I‘ve always believed that
it was the lord leading the way for me in failures,
mistakes and wins. When we accept Christ
we still live in world but the world is not our
home. We are in the world but not of the world
as written in the Bible. All Christians are called
to be “in the world” but not “of the world:”
What does that mean? Being “of this world”
means following the unbelieving world’s values,
beliefs, and conduct. Christians are not to share
in these things. Instead, we are to follow Christ’s
word and reflect it by our words and actions.
Are we perfect? Sinless? Far from it. We are of
the flesh and as the bible says we all fall short of
the glory of God and only by our faith are we
saved from eternal death. The Bible says in my
house their are many mansions which means I
Believe we will be taken care of once we enter
heavens gates. In the meantime while we live
in the world we have to do our best to live good
lives and share the good news of our Lord Jesus
Christ. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we
are all ambassadors for sharing the Bible and
helping others develop a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ. If you get a chance buy a bible
and turn off the bad news and start reading
and learning more about the Good News in the
Bible!
Our Ministry
After graduating from College in 1977
I started my sales career in the Printing
Industry in Los Angeles, CA
I guess you can say I was an Ambassador for
Printing promoting my Dads Printing Biz and
getting new clients. After accepting Christ a few
years earlier the Lord definitely was
putting people in my life for a reason. One was
Bob Wieland who was my Physical Education
Teacher at California State University Los
Angeles where I attended from 1976-1977. Bob
was a double amputee who lost both of
his legs while serving in Vietnam during
combat. Bib was a devout Christian and a man I
know that the Lord put in my life for a
reason. As believers I truly believe the Lord has
our Back 110% in every turn step we take.
To learn more about Bob you can Google him a
man you would surely love to meet.
An Inspiration
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Wieland
I would later reunite with Bob in 1986-1988
when I served as President of the Pasadena Adult
Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
My calling after accepting Jesus Christ was
definitely a calling. In 1989 I had an Idea to
start a Fellowship of Christian Printers in Los
Angeles which was welcomed by Don Bishop
who started Penn Litho in LA and Roger Allen
one of the founders of Gore Graphics. It was
great to connect with other printers, executives
in Los Angeles from highly successful companies
that shared a personal relationship with Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Saviour. In fact every
Industry and every profession has Christians
who have been called to be Ambassadors for
Christ. It’s a very small world and with the
Internet, It has become much smaller than ever.

Our Ministry
Over the years since accepting Christ It has been
I guess my mission to attend many churches and
explore many ministries which is what led me
to start Ocean air Christian Fellowship in 2020
during the global pandemic and JBGmg
Christian Ministries in 2023
I grew up in South Pasadena Ca in the 60s and
one of the Ministries that I remember well was
the World Wide Church of God
I remember going to many Rose Parades and
finding a place to watch the Parade from in
front of the Ambassador College Mansion which
was once the Merritt Mansion built in 1905
by multimillionaire Hulett C Merritt and was
purchased by the World Wide Church of God
Founder Herbert Armstrong The Evangelist in
the 1940s .The Mansion is still there now a
private residence but Herbert passed away in
1986 at the age of 93 and his ministry dissolved
along with his printed magazine Plain Truth
which at its peak printed 6.5 million copies a
month and was distributed globally in multiple
languages. Ministries as we all know come and
go but the Lord is forever and The Truth can be
found in the Bible. Like in Business and Politics.
Ministries also rise to power and many disappear
Our ministry is about promoting the Bible,
Ministries, Churches and believers from around
the world. My Dad taught me years ago that
religion differences has killed more people than
any other reason and it will not be changing
anytime soon until the Lord returns as Satan is
running the show for now. No one knows when
they day is coming of the Lords return.
If you have a ministry we want to hear from you
to promote your ministry. As Christians we are
all working together as Ambassadors for Jesus
Christ.
