OUR FOUNDER

     Bishop Robert M. Paris has been involved in many fields of ministry since he was ordained in 1976, by the now non-existant Church of Gospel Ministry, which was founded by Rev. Dr. Irving O. Tarbox, in Chula Vista, CA. As a layman he had been involved with a Christian Coffeehouse Ministry in the late 60's and early 70's. The Coffeehouse was called "The Cornerstone" it was located in Fort Worth, Texas. But sadly the days of the Coffeehouse ministries came to an end. Bishop Paris has also been active in Rodeo Ministry, and for a time ministered with Transport for Christ, a ministry to those in the Trucking Industry. Bishop Paris has also ministered to those in the Occult and the Cults. He has a direct involvement approach and has studied many spiritual paths in order to fully understand where they go astray from the truth as revealed in the Bible. He has also served as a Volunteer Firefighter and Chaplain for several Volunteer Fire Departments in both Texas and Arkansas.

He was born in 1956, and had 5 major birth defects, and in fact was not expected to live beyond age 2. That is where the Lord stepped in and showed the Doctors what a miracle is. He has done many things that have gone beyond the expectations and pioneered many new path in dealing with his disabilities. Another disability that came in later in life is PTSD and that is part of what led him to persue a Doctorate in Ministries with emphasis in Christian Counseling. He is an active member of the National Association of Christian Ministers. As for his personal style of counseling he has been influenced by the independent studies he did in the 70's of the works of Dr. Jay E. Adams and the Nouthetic School of Counseling, Bishop Paris has a genuine love for people and a desire to see those who are suffering set free!

Born with several major birth defects, he is a testimony to the Healing Power of the Lord. Bishop Paris is a supporter of Israel. He is currently working on a New Minister's Manual that will be available in a Word Doc format for free or if you are a minister through the AULC and want a print copy the cost of printing and mailing it can be discussed.

  This ministry has, as most do, many needs. We are currently in need of people that are called of God to participate in the work of the Lord. Those with tallent in Music, and Evangelism are especially sought after. We are in the process of relocating our ministry headquarters to another location here in Modesto, but have not found one as yet. We need prayer warriors to commit to lift up this ministry daily. If you are interested in being involved please see the contact page and learn how you can connect with this ministry.We will soon be initiating an internet radio outreach through a special program but we have to await the funding for that, the Station will be totally run with volunteer staff, and the music will be Contemporary Christian, with some of the older songs thrown in. Ministers will be permitted to send in CD's or files of their messages, which after review may be aired. As the airing of these will be promoting the ministers we do ask for financial support as we will incur expenses in running the station.As you may see we are expanding rapidly because we believe that the return of the Lord is drawing near.
