Alonzo “Lonnie” began his walk with God at the age of 16. He accepted the call on his life to spread the Gospel through preaching and exemplifying God’s love to everyone he could reach. 

Lonnie graduated from Albany High School in 1981 and joined the Local 7 Union where he learned pipe fitting. Continuing to grow his craft, he moved on to become a Master Plumber, adding general contracting and starting his own business,which he had for over 30 years.
