 Deaconess Fon Sparks My name is Fon Sparks and I started attending Latter Rain Ministries Imperial Beach day one; over nineteen years ago and was ordained Deaconess about fifteen years ago. Prior to coming to Latter Rain Missions and Training Center, I felt I would bring a lot of experience to the ministry. With a family back ground of Church of Christ, not to be confused with but did attend the Church of God in Christ, then to Catholicism, Jehovah Witness, Baptist (not to be confused with Southern Baptist) of which I also attended, Mormon (Latter Day Saints ) and Pentecostal ending all of this with Non – Denomination. Why would I put this in a bio? To let people know the height and the depth that God will go to retrieve his children to bring them to himself. In order for God to use me he had to bring me to a place I’d never been before. A place where truth and only the truth of the gospel is preached, a place where the bible alone is the standard and where they make no apologies for holiness and expectations are the same for everyone. This has been a long hard race and I am no ways tired. I run on because I am expected to. I run for the prize that is set before me. |
