Pastor Mordecai has spent nearly all his life around or involved in ministry.  Pastor Mordecai performed in musicals and play and did puppetry as a child.  As a teen, he continued serving in puppetry and being involved in Vacation Bible School.  He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and later a Master of Science in Academic Administration.  He served as a children's pastor for over 10 years in the Northeast and taught school for over twenty years. 

Moving to Florida he became a school administrator and resigned due to corruption and lies.  Shortly after that, Mordecai's life was thrown into complete turmoil.  In the process, HaShem took Mordecai on a ten-year journey of teaching, training, and much heartache and pain.  Although the journey, including prison time, was very difficult, Mordecai was brought to the Messianic Movement and a greater understanding of the scriptures. In 2021, Mordecai went through his Bar Mitzva and continues to grow in his knowledge and understanding of Hebrew and the Torah.

Mordecai is a father of two children, a son, and a daughter.  He now services as a Messianic Pastor and board member of Torah Life Ministry.  He serves with Ron Warren and John Grady in an advisory capacity and works with the prison ministry.
