by Joseph R. Nicola
I worked as a motorcycle mechanic for 15 years and owned Vision Cycles in Kansas City, Missouri for over 8 years. I was a youth pastor for 9 years and a U.S. Navy Seabee for 6 years. My wife and I, my high school sweetheart, were married in 1984 and together we oversee a congregation in Independence, Missouri which we founded in 1999. I wrote a book on the Ekklesia, which is about what Jesus said He would build in Matthew 16.
