I got saved when I was about 12 years old after hearing the gospel repeatedly in youth group at church.  Just before I got saved they showed us a video about how awful hell is, and also preached about it, and it really rattled me.  The fear of hell finally took root, and they had repeatedly preached to humble ourselves and ask Jesus to save us.  So I decided to believe that Jesus is the Christ, and the only way to heaven like the Bible says, and I called upon Him to save me in the shower at home.  I felt so relieved at that point, and youth group was a lot more fun for me after that.  But sadly, like most people I was as the 9 out of 10 lepers in Luke 17 who were healed by Jesus, but didn’t turn back to give glory to God.  My discipleship was very weak for a long, long time.

I knew I was saved.  I knew that salvation was by grace through faith, not of my own works, and that I was sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption no matter what.  But I lost the joy of my salvation because I was out of church for a very long time, and wasn’t reading my Bible, or even praying that much.  I’ve suffered greatly over these disobedient years, yet the Lord has been very merciful to me in so many ways.  I think I’ve received mercy because the Lord knew that I would eventually come around like the prodigal son in Luke 15.

In August of 2016 I heard a man who claims the name of Christ talk in a YouTube video about how wonderful a committed marriage is.  I’ve never been married, in large part because I had no serious interest in any woman who isn’t a believer, and I was never around them because I wasn’t going to church.  Many times over the years I thought about how the solution to all of my problems was to get right with God, and that day I finally decided to get back into church to begin that process.  In short order, through my reading online I figured out that the King James Bible is the only inerrant translation of God’s Word into English.  I’ve been attending KJVO IFB churches since August of 2016, and I am currently attending Temple Baptist Church in Jacksonville, NC.

I found out about Pastor Steven Anderson by watching New World Order Bible Versions on YouTube.  I was getting tossed about by every wind of doctrine back then, starving and searching for good preaching to learn from.  I was listening to 4-6 hours of sermons every single day for many months.  Eventually I noticed that I had lost interest in the other preachers I had been listening to.  Pastor Anderson is such a great teacher and preacher, I think I’ve listened to about 400 of his sermons at this point.  Pastor Steven Anderson and others like Pastors Roger Jimenez, Donnie Romero, David Berzins, and Manly Perry motivated me to become a soul-winner through their fervent preaching.  I watched many of their soul-winning training sermons and seminars on YouTube.  I worked on memorizing soul-winning Bible verses, put tabs in my Bible to help me to be more concise in my presentation as a beginner, and one day on my lunch break the Lord finally used me to win a man named Vernon Hailey to the Lord on March 1, 2017.  I’ve led about 15 people to faith in Christ Jesus as of 07/21/2017, what an amazing honor to be used by Almighty God in that way!  I’ve been traveling to soul-winning marathons as much as I can since then, and I will continue to do so.  I’m very excited to travel abroad to highly receptive places like Malawi!  There’s a lot more to tell, but I’ll get into that through vlogs on my YouTube channel (jmccallister1769) as time goes on.

It’s an honor to be a part of the Faithful Audio team to help get God’s Word out to more people, especially His gospel message of the free gift of salvation received only by simple, child-like faith in Jesus Christ!

Renato Trevisan

Team Reader for the ACF 2011 (Portuguese) New Testament, and Portuguese Audio Editor, English Audio Editor

Renato Trevisan is a translator and an English teacher. He was born, as most people in Brazil, as a Catholic. His father was a devout Catholic man and so he raised Renato and his family in that church. But, when his Father passed away in 1998, Bro Renato, his mother, and brother began to slowly stop going there. His brother still considers himself a Catholic, but he doesn’t go there nowadays.

Bro Renato and his mother looked everywhere to find God, from Spiritism to Jehovah’s Witnesses, from Buddhism to the Hare Krishna. In 2005 he met some Turkish people living in Brazil and began to contact them. He became friends with them. By the end of that year he even converted to Islam. But by 2007 or earlier he began to watch Pastor Steven Anderson’s sermons on YouTube. He also met his wife, who invited him to visit her church. So it wasn’t long that, by the end of 2007 he understood the Gospel, through Pastor Anderson’s sermons, and got saved. A little later he got baptized in his wife’s church.

In 2011 Bro Renato got married and in 2014 had a daughter. He has always loved to read texts out loud and recently God put it in his heart to do something about it. Then, when Brother Collin proposed him this project, he knew this was it.

Portuguese Translation

Renato Trevisan é tradutor e professor de inglês. Ele nasceu, como a maioria das pessoas no Brasil, católico. Seu pai era um católico devoto e criou Renato e sua família naquela igreja. Mas, quando seu pai faleceu em 1998, o Irmão Renato, sua mãe e irmão começaram a lentamente parar de ir na igreja católica. Seu irmão ainda se considera católico, mas não frequenta essa denominação hoje em dia.

O Irmão Renato e sua mãe procuraram Deus em todos os lugares, do Espiritismo às Testemunhas de Jeová, do Budismo aos Hare Krishna. Em 2005 ele conheceu alguns turcos que viviam no Brasil e começou a entrar em contato com eles. Ele se tornou amigo deles. No final daquele ano ele até se converteu ao Islã. Mas, por volta de 2007 ou antes, ele começou a assistir aos sermões do Pastor Steven Anderson no YouTube. Ele também conheceu sua esposa, que convidou ele para visitar sua igreja. Então, não demorou muito para, no final daquele de 2007 ele compreendeu o Evangelho, através dos sermões do Pastor Anderson, e foi salvo. Um pouco depois ele foi batizado na igreja de sua esposa.

Em 2011, o Irmão Renato se casou e em 2014 teve sua filha. Ele sempre gostou muito de ler textos em voz alta e recentemente Deus colocou em seu coração de fazer algo a respeito. Então, quando o Irmão Collin propôs a ele este projeto, ele sabia que era o que procurava.

Blake Rinkin

Team Administrative Assistant

Blake Rinkin is a member of Verity Baptist Church Vancouver. Blake grew up in a small town in Oregon, and is married to his wife Brittany. The Lord has blessed them with a beautiful daughter.

Blake grew up most of life thinking he was a saved Christian, but thought more or less good works would get you into heaven. He had an empty void he needed to fill and had no idea where to start. Playing in bands and going to concerts were his soul purpose in life. However, as he became a young man in his late teens and early 20’s he became heavily involved with politics, both as a follower and as an activist. He has led rallies, and made YouTube videos, but shortly discovered how empty and unprofitable it was. Then he began watching Pastor Steven Anderson online and instantly took to the preaching. Eventually, he heard a true and complete gospel presentation in 2013 from one of Pastor Anderson’s videos titled “Basic Soul Winning Demonstration” and called upon the name of the Lord that day.

Although he had a long way to go, he began making changes in his life as he felt the Holy Spirit convicting him. Blake and his wife began searching for churches in their area. Unfortunately, every one of them would just be a compromise. Nothing would ever compare to the preaching he would watch online, and the zeal that FWBC had for God and soul winning. Blake wanted to live for God very bad, but felt like nobody around him in the churches shared the same zeal. Then Blake finally had a chance at soul winning at the Portland, OR soul winning marathon hosted by Pastor Anderson. He met his good friend, Aaron Thompson, for the first time that day, and accompanied him as the silent partner. His heart leaped for joy when he witnessed a 16 year old girl get saved. He was hooked.

Blake now has a busy life between work and church, and is always thinking about soul winning. It is his favorite thing to do. He is very pleased to be a part of this team and hopes it impacts the lives of millions of people all over the world. Anything is possible with Jesus, when the path gets rough remember Romans 8:31 “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”

Sean Jolley was saved by grace through faith upon hearing the preaching of the gospel by Pastor Steven Anderson in a ten-minute YouTube video entitled “Basic Soul Winning Demonstration” in April of 2014.  Having previously identified himself as a Christian, he did not understand what it meant to be saved until learning the truth about salvation: It is a free everlasting gift for those that place all their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Upon being indwelled with the Holy Spirit, there awoke within him a great spiritual hunger for the things of God to include hard Bible preaching, the reading of the King James Bible, and ultimately, door-to-door soulwinning.  Having studied Spanish for most of his life, Sean decided to put his talent to use in preaching the gospel to Spanish speakers and in translating Christian materials into Spanish.  He edited translation work and did voice over work for the 2016 Spanish dubbed release of the 2015 Framing the World Productions documentary film, “Marching to Zion”.

He hopes to complete many future translations for the furtherance of God’s kingdom.  Sean lives in Williamsburg, Virginia with his wife, Karla, son, John David, and daughter, Diana Sofia and endeavors to one day hold the office of a bishop or evangelist.
