Cede

I grew up just South of Philadelphia in a small suburban town that was heavily influenced by the hip-hop culture. I received Jesus Christ while attending Creation Festival 2001 just after the Cross Movement performed and shared the Gospel. From that day forward I yearned for any sort of Spiritual influence, or for someone to 'scoop me up' and teach me more, but the only source of guidance available came from 'The Cross Movements' albums for a solid two or three years through High School. I knew that I was called to ministry in one way or another and so I attended Eastern University for two years until transferring to Philadelphia Biblical University to finish up a Bachelors in Biblical Studies. It was here that I had the privilege to serve as the University Chaplain, and to also have met my wife. After finishing up school, I taught Bible and Technology at a small Christian High School in Cream Ridge, NJ for a year and am now on Pastoral Staff at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge. The Lord used music to first grab my attention, and then to disciple me in a sense for years. This is why I rap... my prayer is that I first Glorify and Honor my Lord and Savior, then that He would use me in any way that He sees fit.
