Accepting the call of Jesus Christ in 2013 at the age of 21, Ruben was quickly trusted into ministry in 2015. Prayer has always been his lifeline and his source into sustaining and maintaining a relationship with Jesus. He learned through prayer there was safety, direction, and peace. He preached his first message at the age of 23 and has been a voice to those who have been lost ever since.
Ruben moves in the gifts of the spirit as God gives him the ability, specifically in the area of dreams. He gives himself fully to be used by God in any capacity that God sees fit.
Seeing his peers preach Christ, Ruben felt as if he was not good enough as he began to compare himself to other preachers styles, crowds, and influence. Over time, he learned that following Jesus was not about who is following you or style of speech, but it was about proximity to God and his relationship with him alone. It is a privilege to be chosen to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has not taken that charge for granted or lightly.
After departing the church from his youth, he went to Lively Stone COGIC to assist his mother and step-father in ministry. It was there he learned to allow the Holy Spirit to use him for the glory of God. From there he learned discipline, dedication, and devotion in the ministry. He grew exponentially during this time as his speaking engagements began to increase.
In 2020, at the beginning of COVID, the Lord gave Ruben a dream and instructed him to move his family from Kenosha, Wisconsin to Dallas, Texas. Having no family or no connections in Texas, Ruben was obedient and moved 1,000 miles across the country off of obedience to the voice of God.
Moving to Dallas March of 2020, Ruben and his family joined The Way Fellowship Church of Dallas in Spring 2021. Under the leadership of Apostle TG and Stephanie Gardner, that he received deliverance from rejection, abandonment, and perfectionism to name a few. Still going through the trials of life, Ruben is able to trust in the leadership God has placed him under and his relationship Jesus has increased.
Ruben is apart of many ministries at TWFC Dallas including the praise and worship team, C2Care, intercessor team, ministers team, and the leader of the Ignite Young Adults Ministry (YAM). He is dedicated to preaching the word of God to all of those that will hear.
