Welcome to the Kingdom: A Manual for the True Believer
Bishop Jay Ramirez is the founding pastor of Kingdom Life Christian Church in Milford, Connecticut. Since 1991, with his wife, Jeannine, by his side, he has pioneered one of the largest churches in the Northeast, having about two thousand members. This non-denominational, multi-ethnic, Christ-centered church is Bible-based and Spirit-filled, with a congregation of wonderful, loving and supportive people—many of whom came into this ministry as new believers.  KLCC’s television and radio programs, Voice of Vision with Bishop Jay Ramirez and The Bishops’ Counsel, are broadcast throughout the Northeast and internationally via KLCC’s web site. The Voice of Vision program, produced by Kingdom Life Media Productions, has brought KLCC’s Sunday worship services and Bishop Ramirez’s interviews with special guests to the Trinity Broadcast Network (TBN) Praise The Lord audience in the New York area.  Bishop Ramirez has become a spiritual voice to all levels of government. Upon invitation, he has prayed over President George W. Bush, Connecticut’s Governor and the Speaker of the House, local mayors and others.  As an ordained bishop, Jay Ramirez travels extensively around the world and serves as overseer to a number of ministries representing Kingdom Life Network of Ministries (K-NET). In this office, he has the opportunity to meet  with international and spiritual leaders and has witnessed the Christian faith being expressed through many distinct and different cultures. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Massachusetts, Bishop Ramirez worked in marketing with Eastman Kodak Company. He then served as a paramedic in New York, and later as the Chief of Emergency Medical Services in East Texas. He received his master’s degree in theology in Longview, Texas and began ministry as a youth pastor. He served as an associate pastor and Bible college dean before establishing Kingdom Life Christian Church. He has been happily married to his wife and ministry partner, Jeannine, for many years. They reside in the Milford area and have two beautiful daughters. Welcome to the Kingdom, A Manual for the True Believer is Bishop Ramirez’s first book.
