Danny was born January 26, 1994. He graduated from Richmond Senior High School in 2012 and went on to obtain an Associates in Arts degree from Sandhills Community College, specializing in the Culinary Arts.
Before he was even born, his grandma Melina prayed and declared over him that he would grow up to be a preacher of God's Word. She believed the Lord would use him and before Danny even knew he had a calling, it was declared over him by a spiritual woman in faith.
Danny experienced the calling to become an evangelist at the age of 18. He preached for the first time at his childhood church, El Shaddai, where Pastor Nelson and Yajiara Pacheco were his spiritual leaders for almost 5 years. At the conclusion of this service, two spiritual warriors of the church approached Danny saying that they were lead by the Holy Spirit to tell him that they saw preaching God's Word in his future, especially serving in the capacity of Evangelist. This prophecy was spoken over him by other people throughout the years. Not knowing what to think or do with this information, Danny chose not to pursue his calling after high school and went to college to pursue another passion of becoming a chef instead. During this time, Danny describes his spiritual life as "going downhill." "The kitchen became my God, and I turned into a workaholic." In his last year of college, the Holy Spirit began to speak again to Danny and led him to let begin letting go of his plans of becoming a chef and to head in the direction of his calling. Danny wrestled for several months. During this time, he came to know a friend named Justin. As their friendship grew, Danny began to minister to him and through this friendship, Justin came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Danny knew Justin needed a church to join and since the church he attended was out of town, Danny began helping Justin search for churches in Rockingham. Danny knew Pastor Ronnie and Bob Spears, so he brought Justin to Freedom, which became Justin's church home. Through this one person, many others have come to join the ministry of Freedom and, most importantly, to know Jesus as Lord.
Danny loves listening to music, playing guitar, cooking, studying apologetics, reading, and spending time with his friends. Some of the people he considers mentors are Phil Stone, Ronnie McLean,
Jereomy Clark, and Jeron Langley.
As Danny puts it, "a fire burned in my heart to love and serve God and
serve others. That became my purpose in life and where I have found my true joy."
