Walter Maxwell chose to pass the ministry baton of 50 plus years to Thomas in continuation of the Kingdom Mandate to make disciples. Thomas has prepared and is continuing to grow in his means to lead God’s people into a discipleship relationship with Jesus. Thomas has accomplished the following, academically :

Thomas is the author of ” The Four Pillars of Evangelism“, which is a practical tool for sharing a first century message in a 21st century world and the newest work entitled ” One-on-One For Anyone“, which is a tool to explain and equip an individual for teaching the simple Gospel plan to an honest seeker. Thomas previously served as the Minister and Evangelist for the Normandie church of Christ in Los Angeles for over 5 years. Thomas served with the the Kings church of Christ with David E. Wilson in Brooklyn, NY where he worked primarily with the evangelism ministry; conducting classes as well as training the church in how to teach others. Thomas contends that he is living a life purposed for God’s glory. He is not perfect but striving to be faithful over what God has given to his stewardship care. For Thomas, the purpose of his life is to BE A FULLY FUNCTIONAL DISCIPLE who makes disciples, TO COACH/COUNSEL people who’s lives have been hijacked by the disease of addition, TO EMPOWER AND SERVE those that are homeless and underserved and TO ADVOCATE for the voiceless & unheard, those in need of a second chance and the marginalized, SO THAT “THE PROMISE of abundant living” as well as “THE POWER to become” are both discovered and manifest in the people/community in which I serve. Thomas’ prayer is “God use me up doing good, and when YOU are done, bring me home!”
