Hello and God bless you. Thank you for coming into our website. My wife Dianalis and I thank you. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior on February 25, 2004 while in solitary confinement. This was the day that changed my entire life. I was raised in a Christian Pentecostal home. My mother accepted Christ into her heart when I was five years old and my father when I was eight.       It was during my teen years that I wanted nothing to do with a Christian life. I never stopped believing in God, but I did not want to serve Him. I wanted to serve myself. I became involved in street gangs in the streets of Northern California. I also became involved in the music industry and became a very infamous rapper by the name of 'Sir Dyno'. This led into a life of complete selfishness, greediness, violence, hatred and arrests due to selling drugs. During my spiral downward my parents continued to pray for me, as well as other family such as my aunt Benicia.      So arrested for the third time and sentenced to and 8 year sentence in Federal prison I was tired of handcuffs, jail cells and my lifestyle I surrendered to Jesus. I dove head first into the Word of God and became a sponge for the Scriptures. I spent an entire year in solitary confinement and then another year in a jail cell with a cell mate. By the time I was allowed to walk a prison yard I had spent two years in a cell. Within three months in Terminal Island Federal Prison I began preaching in the prison yard along with other fellow brothers in Christ, such as Chuy Alba, Josue Alonzo and Mauro. As well as other good solid Christian brothers. After spending 3 1/2 years in prison I was allowed to finish my time in a federal prison camp in Atwater CA. It was there that I enrolled in CLU (Christian Leadership University) I worked non stop and received my Associates degree in Biblical Studies within 17 months. Then I began my Bachelors in Ministry. I inquired about being a licensed minister and the CLU school directed me to their licensing board (CRFI) By the time I was released I had spent six years incarcerated. But during this time the Lord sharpened me by first breaking me and molding me into the type of man He wanted me to be. Then He allowed me to learn to preach, to give bible studies, individual studies, public speaking, apologetics and Church History. I was released on January 22, 2010 and instantly invited to give my testimony in various cities such as Stockton, San Jose, Merced, Gilroy and Castroville. The Lord had put the House of Rest church on my heart on New Years day of 2008 while still incarcerated in Atwater CA. So along with brothers Edwin Madera and Johnny Alcala, we birthed Parakletos Ministry which would be an umbrella of music production, film production, counseling and churches.       I was married to Dianalis Gaona Rocha on April 30, 2011. God has blessed us with a beautiful marriage and two weeks later we planted House of Rest church in Modesto CA. We look forward to what God has in store for us and for our fellow members and future members. Thank you and may the Lord bless you all continually.
