May 29th 1987 10:20PM in a tent meeting run by Rossi Grier the football star, in Watts California. Joe had a life changing experience, received a miraculous physical healing and conversion, and was instantly delivered from over 30 years of drug abuse and he accepted Jesus Christ.

Joe began ministering at a prayer group, a few months after he gave his life to Jesus and received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  The gifts began to flow, healings, miracles, the word of knowledge, and prophesy.  Several month's later the Lord blessed him with a TV ministry, a Christian Talk show on a local Cable station in the Los Angeles area. 

In 1991 Joe had Pastor Augie Barajas, one of the Pastors from Victory Outreach International as a guest on his talk show.  After that Joe was invited to visit the church he pastured that was in Glendale at that time, and they began to develop a close bond, several months later Joe was invited to their World Conference and after listening to Pastor Sonny Arguinzoni the founding Pastor preach, Joe caught the vision and felt called to become a part of the ministry In 1995 he became a licensed minister with them, and is now an international Evangelist. Joe is the author of seven books, a conference speaker, he also conducts Seminars on some of the books he wrote. 

Signs and wonders follow him, blind eyes and deaf ears have been opened, the lame walk.  Many have been healed of cancer, heat disease, arthritis, diabetes, and many other diseases when Joe ministers.  Joe has a heart for the hurting people in the world, the Lord has blessed him with the gift to minister to the needs of those who are carrying hurts. 

Two of his books deal with that topic.  “The Worms That Spoil The Fruit” and Don't Bury The Worms.”  The scripture  that the Lord put in Joe's heart  when he began to minister is, (Luke 4:18)   "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me

to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of  sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;"
