July 12, 1992, an extremely cocky and overly arrogant twenty-two-year-old man entered a small church in upstate New York, utterly unaware his entire life was about to change. Taking his seat, he crossed his arms and sighed skeptically. As the preacher began, a mysterious heaviness entered the room, pressing harder and harder on the man’s soul. In less than an hour, he was both broken and restored as he was introduced to Jesus Christ, and from that moment on the man’s life has never been the same.In the thirty plus years that followed, Patrick Aquilone has consistently pledged himself to serve God with all his heart. He’s had the privilege of helping plant two churches, leading small and large groups in teaching the Word, overseeing children’s ministry, mentoring younger Christians, and pouring his life into many fledgling marriages to help resuscitate them. His heart is to see lives transformed through the amazing power of God.He earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Rutgers University and works by day as a software developer. While being born in New Jersey and having met Jesus in New York, Patrick calls the great state of Texas his home, loving both the weather and the people. Patrick has been married to his wife of thirty-three years and has raised three amazing young adults. In his spare time, Patrick is a perpetual space nerd and scifi geek. He devours all media related to the space race and especially science fiction. His favorite pastime is sitting around a table with friends and family playing board and card games.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
