MINISTRY STATEMENT

Heata’s desire is that through his rhymes, the Holy Spirit is moved & will turn lives around for the honor & glory of our Almighty Father. Far too many Christian artists say that they don’t want to preach at anyone, they only want to witness by their lifestyle. Heata does witness by his lifestyle, but the fact is most people will only see about an hour of his lifestyle. Heata is an evangelistic rapper that is not afraid to say what he is about. The music that HEATA brings, draws people closer to God. Heata expects every rhyme to preach, teach, & encourage. He believes that there are two roles that he has as a Christian artist: One as an entertainer, & two as a believer. It is important that he is able to get the crowd involved in what is going on. But, it is more important to fulfill his obligation as a believer, both on stage & off. Heata enjoys ministering at Youth Prisons and Juvenile facilities because these teens are often overlooked and feel out of place in the traditional church setting.

HEATA’S TESTIMONY

From the time I was conceived, the Lord had special plans for me. Knowing this, Satan had set out to destroy me at birth. Doctors told my parents, they would have to choose between my mother & me. They claimed we both wouldn't make it through my birth, but God had different plans for our lives & we both survived!! (Listen to "Just In Time" song on the "Igniting tha Fire" album). Satan used many things in my life to keep me astray. As an young teenager I began talking to Quija boards & praying to Satan. I began to get involved with drugs, gangs & violence. I saw many of my friends die as a result of this lifestyle. Knowing that my future was going no where and feeling empty inside, I turned my life to Jesus Christ. It was then that I began to experience a TRUE encounter with Christ. Learning of the calling I had on my life, I completely surrendered my talents to the Lord. Once I let the Lord take control of everything, the doors began to open, thus confirming that this was the Lords will for my life.

CURRENT STATUS:

I want to Ignite tha Fire of Jesus Christ in the hearts of the young and young at heart. Today I travel around the country with my wife and daughter to schools, conventions, detention centers and more, ministering and sharing my testimony. I want to reach out to the lost and broken hearted at any and all cost!
