Evangelist Nelson started ministry in 1979, in the state of New Jersey. I stated in a small Baptist ministry where I got to know Jesus as my personal savior. I come from a large family. I was the only Christian in my home, 1981 I became the youth pastor in a small Pentecostal church. I had gone to a revival where a prophet spoke to me. I was laid hands on and I had a vision of Jesus. We were in a plane. Jesus showed me that this plane would be filled with the people I would minister to. From that day on I began to preach and hand out tracts. I started a small ministry where I supported the churches in the state of Pennsylvania. Years past on when I had to choose where I had to go. So I fasted with evangelist and missionaries I knew. I then landed in Wa State.
In 1979 I was a victim or molestation. I then became addicted to pornography. My shame kept me from any serious relationships. My mind was bound up. I went to a church to help renew my mind but the battle was stronger than I thought I could overcome. Many times I wanted to commit suicide because I suffered a lot of sexual memories and out of control masturbation. My mind was locked. I cried out to god so many times for help.
I married a special woman in my life – Joann. I tried to hide my addiction from her. My failure to keep my covenant with my wife cause me to lose a lot. I made bad choices that led me to therapy. Not thinking right I divorced my wife as a way out of my responsibility. I served 4 years in prison. Where I me the lord alone. No way to feed my addiction and full time therapy. I came to the end of myself. I lost all I worked for.
I lost my marriage, ministry ,kids ,family ,church ,career , and finances.
To start over I began to study the word of god. I then started listening to motivational tapes by Tony …. I then joined Christian pen-pals to build up my relationship. I started meeting with men of faith at the prison chapel. My start of renewing the mind began. Yes temptation came and I failed a lot but I was at the bottom. I could only look up.
I met an elderly couple at the chapel who built up my spirit. I had to let go of the past. They encouraged me to begin by writing my lost, hurts and failures on paper then we burned it, I felt the relief. Then I was transferred from maximum security to med security. To my surprise an old friend I knew was in prison too. I lost contact from my old life my wife married again, my kids grew up, and I had no career or money. But my friend told me about where my x wife was so I decided to try reconciliation. This took a few years of repair and my x wife had divorced her man due to he was a bad choice.
