What if you were defined by the worst decision you ever made?

Hi My name is James Trainer I was born and raised in Birmingham Alabama, I’m 69 years old, growing up in Birmingham in the 60’s was not easy, 8 of us lived in a shotgun house as it was call in the 60’s and we took our baths in a # 10 tub and heated the water on the stove. The image you see of water being sprayed on civil rights marchers, I live through that.

I Join the army right out of high school  June of 1968, in December the same year I was in Viet Nam. Having accepted Christ at 12 years of age the foundation was set for my religious beliefs, at that age I didn’t really understand the gravity of what I had done, until later in life when I felt the present of the Lord in my life. From my meager beginnings to being featured on the cover of Dollars & Sense magazine as America # 1 Black Automobile Dealer, A life I never dream possible.

The bible says in Luke 12:48 to whom much is given much is required. For over 15 years I have dedicated my life to prison Ministry and presently the President of Barnabas Prison Ministry. I am an Ordained Minister, Ordained Certified Life Empowerment Coach.
