About Free By The Truth Ministry

Mission

We exist specifically to provide a compassionate recovery community for returning residents (men & women coming out of prison) who are willing to take responsibility for themselves and to learn to make good choices while striving for success.

Vision

The vision of Free By The Truth Ministry, Inc. is to be part of God’s plan to reconcile the world to Himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. II Corinthians 5:19 Our mission is to create a community here in San Antonio of the formerly incarcerated and their families who will help each other to lead abundant lives in Christ. Our plan is to help men and women by showing them how to Love God, Love People, and Disciple Others.

What We Believe

It is through my own experience with my encounter with God, how His truth has been revealed to me and has Set Me Free! I have seen the same experience in others who have come to know God in their life. How does this happen? I have been asked when I talk about our main verse for our ministry name. "How does John 8:31-32 apply to me? I say it this way, I'm a christian but i am still afflicted with the sin in my life", I still struggle and wrestle with sin every single day. The bible tell me that I am a sinner. (Romans 3:23) But I strive to live my life to follow Jesus everyday. We can do this through the power of God.

John 8:31-32, "Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings". "And you will know the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will set you FREE".

The reason why people are going through so much in their lives is because they are not adding both verses together in their life. Jesus was talking to believers, Christians or followers of Christ, that if they remained faithful to his teaching, they were truly Jesus' disciples. In verse 31 Jesus used the big word, "IF", this is huge because we have to make a choice in our life if we are going to follow Jesus or we are not.

This goes for us as well, if we remain faithful to God he will remain faithful to us. We must choose to follow Jesus and when we do the truth of his word becomes real in our lives.

John 15:5, "I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing".

When we know the Truth of God's Word, our mind is open to understand what God's will is for our life. And we are changed and no longer want to be the same, but live a changed life.

Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will".

When we choose to follow God, he changes us from the inside out. This ministry is so important. I have seen how God has changed the lives of men on the Prison Unit. Because of this relationship with God, They no longer want to go back to their old life of crime, drugs, sin, and things they used to do. So please join me and let's together share the love of God with others, so that God can change lives, save families, and mend broken relationships and keep them from going back to prison.

BayBay was the assistant strength and conditioning coach to the World Champion San Antonio Spurs for 5 years and was the head strength and conditioning coach for the WNBA’s San Antonio Silver Stars for one year. In 2006, his company, All Sports administered the strength and conditioning program for the East vs West Shriners’s college senior bowl.

In 2009 Bay Bay also appeared in VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club as a guest trainer. Bay Bay is considered by some to be the most intense and demanding trainer in the business. His Style is a straight forward approach, challenging the most talented athletes mentally and physically. Having competed at the highest level of competition himself, Bay Bay undoubtedly understands the demands placed on the body and more so the mind of a professional athlete. He believes that when fatigue sets in, it is not just the stamina challenged, but mostly the mind. In pushing athletes to the point of fatigue, his goal is to perfect technique and teach absolute body control. Bay Bay has held strength and conditioning clinics for pro teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Houston Texans and more.
