My son Gabriel and I

Joseph M. Cole currently serves as a pastor at Tabernacle of Praise, Inc., where they let him make corny jokes from the pulpit and talk about technology (of the Mac variety). He attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas where he  met the most beautiful woman in the world, Ana Marisol, who soon acquiesced to his pursuits and became his wife (Miracles do happen.).

Besides pastoral ministry, Joseph serves the nonprofit world as a grant writer and consultant. His goal is to meet the rising need for funds in our current economic recession through strategic fund raising strategies and grant seeking training.

Joseph took his first trip abroad in 1999 and has been traveling internationally at any other opportunity that afforded itself. The stamps in his passport include places like The Dominican Republic,  Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel and Guatemala.

While studying in Dallas, Joseph became involved with Bat Zion Messianic Congregation as a youth leader and worship drummer for about four years. It was in this time and with these wonderful people that he acquired an interest and love of the Messianic Jewish movement.

Currently, Joseph is on the sharpest learning curve of his life being a father to two beautiful boys, Samuel and Gabriel.
