Louie Worked as a grounds man for the Ventura County for over 20 years. He was also a Volunteer Chaplain for the Ventura Jail, and many State and Federal Penitentiaries. Louie had a good repour with other prison ministries and co-labored with many of them. (Shepherds Foundation, Second Chance were a few he co-labored with). He made a big impact on some of the men in and out of institutions. He followed up on those that came out and he encouraged them to continue to focus on God, and he referred them to homes throughout the county and the state of California. He taught bible studies in those homes and spoke many times at the Ventura mission to the men and woman that were homeless. The streets were well known to him, and he often would go out and pass out fliers to people, to invite them to the Christian church service. He ran for the Lord and never wanted to stop telling everyone about Jesus. He was grateful for what God had done in his life and was a strong man of faith. Prayer was His daily routine and studying the word of God. He also ministered at the juvenile and youth Authority in Ventura, and in Los Angeles. He earned His certification to become a Youth and Gang Violence Intervention Specialist. He spoke at a few schools in the Ventura County and other facilities. He asked God to open doors and they would open. He went through many trials and never gave up trying to please His Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

Many have wondered about miracles, whether they are real or not. We as humans are living miracles, but there are a few that storm out of the Gates of darkness into the light. Louie was a man chained to darkness for years and was exposed to those pits of despair for many of those years. But one day Jesus Christ came into his life and stood him up on a solid foundation of truth and faith in Jesus Christ, and his life was never the same. He has fought a good fight and God used him as a weapon of war against those same dark places he was delivered from.

A tornado of truth was released and used through this man of God. A faith that came from God above that brought many to the son of God, Jesus Christ. This man had many surnames but first of all he was a faithful servant of God.
