                      Welcome to The Santos Ministries Web Site.

                            

 

Our ministry is committed to sharing the awesome love that Jesus Christ offers. We do that through the talents and gifts He has given. If there be anything praiseworthy in our lives today, it is because of the price Jesus paid on Calvary’s cross.  And as my friend Jon Courson say's "Point people to the Cross. And they’ll find Jesus". Oswald Chambers said, "All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ , all hell is terribly afraid of it.

                                                                                           The Power of The Cross

Personally, whenever I see the cross (and I see it everywhere, everyday, in every town, city, and state I am in) it always reminds me of how Jesus went ALL the way for me. That is the sole reason I am off drugs and walking in total victory today.  "Walk with the King and be a blessing"  

Today I am singin for The King of Kings

Santos Ministries Road Report

 

                           

      

Calvary Ranch is an awesome ministry in the 38 plus years of it's mission to help navigate men and women to a full, whole, complete, abundant life in Jesus Christ.  

                                                                         

 

Pensacola, Florida The 7th annual Highways and Hedges outreach was awesome as we reached out to the hurting, incarcerated, homeless, addicted people of the panhandle of Florida and Alabama's coastal communities.

 

Everywhere I travel I meet so many that were transformed by the POWER of God

like my dear friend Jack "Murf the Surf" Murphy  and David Berkowitz.there are so many more

 

 

 

Santos held events in jailsl, The Waterfront Rescue Mission, a mens barn meeting, and  also at area Churchs.

he got to share some lessons from the former "son of sam" now Son of  Hope" prison minister

David Berkowitz who has published a very personel book of his daily prison journal/devotions.

There is HOPE for anyone, David is living proof of God's restoring POWER!

The men were deeply touched by God's awesome Amazing Grace!

Santos even had a chance to be at The National Naval Air Museum with The Blue Angels who were flying right over his head that day as they practiced the super precision flying manuvers and breaking the sound barrier.

 

eLate summer and fall was a great ministry tour of the north east U.S. Be back in Oct '08

Sowing Circle's primary operational focus is providing the Blue Letter Bible website as an aid in studying the Scriptures. In addition, a sister ministry to the Blue Letter Bible is the Blue Letter Bible Institute, where they offer quality Bible courses over the Internet.  

Firefighters for Christ.org is a part of the Sowing Circle family-It is a ministry solely dependent upon the grace of our Lord for support and direction. Its purpose is to distribute God's word in the form of personal testimonies and Bible study teaching media.

Santos and his English Brother Pastor Mike Cooke read his remarkable story here, God brings the world to his doorstep in Alaska...Mike also has a dynamic jail ministry there. Pastor MiKe is one awesome get it done / go the extra mile servant of The Lord Jesus Christ. He's a real fisherman!

 

                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                     

    e Jesus People just hx weeks of revivals were off the charts.

Oh do we love singing for The King we love it so much we recorded a CD of it called "Deep and Rich "           

                                                                      

                                                                                                                       

 

Pastor Chuck Smith was at every nightly tent service enjoying every minute of it, after serving the flock at CCCM for well over 35 years it was so great to see him watching all this unfold before his eyes ...the joy of being a very faithful servant of The Lord. 

Read about the wrap up

                  Read about some of the Pastors Chuck mentored over the years

 

                                                                                                              

                                                     Read about the making of "Deep and Rich"           

Pastor Chuck and Santos sang "How Great Thou Art" as a duet on this very special CD project but the real story was how that classic song was introduced to The United States in 1957 at the NYC Billy Graham Crusade by George "Bev" Shea.

I was playing at NAMM with The Chuck Butler Band, I also ran into "Mr Hit Maker"- drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie he is one of the most recorded drummers in history, he's played on over 100 hit songs. I also connected with Alex Acuna , Sheila "E", Pete Escovedo jr all three are believers in The Lord.

Recently I was in Israel and I noted that Jesus ministered in the middle of the noisey, crowded, chaos - alot of the time.  Even today in Jerusalem, at Golgatha, The Garden Tomb, The Antonio Fortress, and the market places of the old city, it is very noisey and busy and seems chaotic. But wherever He went, as in my case and for so many others He brought personel peace, calm and order even in the midst of Chaos just like in the case of the demoniac Mark chapter 5, only Jesus could do that, He even does that for me in my rebellious food life.

"He is truly The Prince of Peace" in every situation .
