Florida DJ ZORAN Launches New Hope & Restoration Tour


“When I saw young people suffering during this pandemic with these alarming suicide rates and escalating substance abuse, I felt the humanity tug to do something,” Zoran explained.

Thirty-year special events entertainer and deejay Zoran Subotich (known as Zoran) used his pandemic down time to hit the reset button. When he saw people struggling, he felt compelled to act. A third-degree black belt karate teacher prized for his coaching and dynamic, inspirational speaking, Zoran was no stranger to motivating people. He saw an opportunity to marry his teaching and entertainment talents with a program that fed people’s spiritual recovery from the pandemic. The Hope and Restoration Tour and program was born, kicking off on Friday, May 27, 2022 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Enlightened Studios in Fort Walton Beach. Zoran’s new focus is spreading messages of inspiration, aspiration and optimism to the disheartened.

“When I saw young people suffering during this pandemic with these alarming suicide rates and escalating substance abuse, I felt the humanity tug to do something,” Zoran explained. “One day it hit me – I could give young adults and youths a spiritually healthier way to party, celebrate and get inspired. All I had to do was build new music sets infusing the messages of hope we are all hungry to hear,” he elaborated.

Zoran is bringing his new program to regional, statewide, and national youth conferences, seminars, vacation Bible schools, and Christian-based corporate retreats with new Christian, EDM, hip-hop, house, rap, reggae, rock and country music to support his high-energy theme. He is also collaborating with celebrated national gospel reggae recording artist Christafari Band and partnering with Cole Hufer of Enlightened Studios for his Hope and Restoration Program.

Zoran’s new show offers entertainment bookers three options including:


  • Deejaying only, with a focus on spiritually uplifting music
  • Deejaying, combined with Zoran’s motivational speaking in a multimedia presentation
  • Deejaying, motivational speaking, and breakout teaching sessions

Zoran is available to travel in the US and abroad and is still accepting some bookings for Q2 at his website, ZoranEntertainment.net and his social media handle is @DJZoranUSA.

Daniel Snider’s newly released “Beneath the Southern Cross” is a compelling story of missionary work within the Papua New Guinea tribes


News Image

“Beneath the Southern Cross”: an engaging fiction that paints a vivid picture of missionary life. “Beneath the Southern Cross” is the creation of published author Daniel Snider, a dedicated husband who was raised in Nebraska and has served in the preaching ministry for fifty-seven years.

Snider shares, “Beneath the Southern Cross is a story about a young couple who wanted to be missionaries. The young man had been a preaching minister for a few years in the state of Montana, but both he and his wife wanted to reach out to people who had never heard the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Most of the people they were ministering to had already heard that gospel, even in the Indian reservations in Montana they were reaching out to.

“At the church where this couple were serving, they had a missionary from Papua New Guinea, a very primitive area, and a very primitive people. As they learned about the people these missionaries were reaching out to, they prayed, and their prayer was answered. They had already met this missionary from Papua New Guinea, and they believed that they wanted to reach out to the primitive people in New Guinea. As they contacted the missionaries in New Guinea (they had already spent some time with that missionary from New Guinea), they were accepted as the team’s newest missionaries.

“This young couple knew that they would be put in a very primitive situation, living among nearly naked people, and they would need to learn how to adjust to the primitive people they would be living with. They would have to accept these primitives they would be working with no matter how repulsive the situation might be. This young couple knew they would have to make adjustments, but they also knew that they wanted to share the gospel with people who had never heard the gospel. They wanted to learn to love these primitive people. They wanted to serve where the Lord wanted them to serve and make the sacrifices they would need to make.

“But when they reached Papua New Guinea, there was another surprise for them. If you want to learn about that surprise, you will need to read Beneath the Southern Cross.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Daniel Snider’s new book will bring a sense of realism to the world of missionary work as readers travel to the wilds of Papua New Guinea.

Snider’s history of missionary work and passion for spreading God’s word are apparent within the pages of this fictional account.

Consumers can purchase “Beneath the Southern Cross” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

New Book Details Life of a Political Refugee, Including a Near-Death Experience that Results in Meeting Jesus


News Image

“With everything going on in the world right now, I felt this was a relevant time to share my story,” Ghironte. “I’m hoping readers will find it fascinating and potentially change their own outlook towards life and help renew their faith.”

Escaping Communist Romania as a teenager is only a part of this autobiographical journey through a difficult life that ends in Allen, Texas, with a beautiful family and a renewed faith in Jesus Christ.

In “Jesus Christ Is for Real,” author John Ghironte looks back at his life, first as a child in Romania, followed by his escape as a teenager to Yugoslavia, and then finally as a political refugee in the Dallas, Texas area, where he still lives today. Along the way, he has many near-misses and close calls, including a near death experience in 2008 that convinced him God is real.

“With everything going on in the world right now, I felt this was a relevant time to share my story,” Ghironte. “I’m hoping readers will find it fascinating and potentially change their own outlook towards life and help renew their faith.”

“Jesus Christ is Real” contains several photographs of Ghironte and his family through the years that provide a great visual for the reader as they follow along on this journey. Near the end of the book the photos are replaced with illustrations as Ghironte describes the feeling of being carried into the sky and meeting Jesus Christ, before waking up in his truck that was stopped in the middle of an intersection.

“Ever since that fateful event led me closer to God, not a day goes by when I don’t think about him. After a while, I though that’s why I’m still on earth – to spread the word of God so others may believe.”

“Jesus Christ is Real”

New Release is an Inspiring Faith-Filled Memoir About One Man’s Hardships and How He Was Healed by the Lord


News Image

“I’ve wanted to write my testimony for many years, but I couldn’t figure out the best way to share it,” Gary said. “I chose to share the stories from my life and follow each one with a practical application, to encourage other Christians to open themselves up to similar encounters with the Lord.”

Does God still heal today as he did when Jesus was alive? Many Christians struggle with this question, and T. Ethan Gary hopes his story will help others see the truth.

In “Blessings, Trials, and Miracles,” by T. Ethan Gary, readers are provided an autobiographical look at Gary’s journey and his description of how God delivered and healed him through several hardships. In 2008, Gary was in a terrifying horse accident. While the doctor’s prognosis was grim, Gary claims the Lord restored him physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The many declarations in this book are provided to give encouragement to others and provide reassurance that God will deliver and heal them, as well.

“I’ve wanted to write my testimony for many years, but I couldn’t figure out the best way to share it,” Gary said. “After being motivated by another writer, I chose to share the stories from my life and follow each one with a practical application, to encourage other Christians to open themselves up to similar encounters with the Lord.”

The book is broken down into several stories, detailing a difficult time in the authors life, and how his trust in God helped him to recover. At the end of each chapter, Gary reveals the different types of healing God can provide, including forgiveness, revelations and loving others.

New book Do You Believe? tells of one man’s journey to an all-in faith where God keeps working miracles


Trilogy Christian Publishers, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trinity Broadcasting Network, has announced the release of “Do You Believe?” by Rich Mason, who uses his personal story to give his answer to life’s most important question. The book is available on Amazon, from booksellers, and from http://www.Rich-Mason.com.

More than 25 years ago, Rich Mason was not sure God existed and did not have any expectations of him. But when he made a resolution to help wayward children after the first schoolyard shooting that he heard of, some extraordinarily unlikely events occurred. He calls them miracles. They got his attention and caused him to start searching to see if God really exists.

Rich Mason is a private equity investor, angel investor and former entrepreneur, having started four companies, including one ministry. He has held positions with Intel Corporation, Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, and Mindspeed Technologies. He was the President and Founder of Alpha Fiber. Rich earned an electrical engineering degree from the University of South Florida and has worked in technology and business for thirty-seven years. With homes in both Tampa, Florida, and Hillsboro, Oregon, Rich is connected with multiple churches and is active in serving ministries and small group studies.

Rich was not accepting the existence of God easily. He read books, thought deeply, and challenged the evidence on both sides. He visited churches. He read the Bible. He considered prophecies and how they have been fulfilled. Rich’s story recounts the journey that led him ultimately to belief.

In the book, Rich writes, “After careful investigation, I found what I needed: the Bible is the full story and the evidence for Christ is overwhelmingly convincing! That’s just the written part of what I found. Remember that this God is whispering stuff to me at the same time. And I really want to hear His whisper, so I’m listening intently. Carefully. There’s a spiritual side to all of this; there’s more than just what we can see with our eyes. And in my spirit, God is communicating with me. And He also orchestrates events, people, places, and things!”

Joseph John, D.D., a pastor, said, “Rich Mason has written what I would call a very powerful challenge to believers in Christianity to hunger and thirst after the life God wants His followers to really live. Through his journey of seeking God, Rich reveals the three areas most Christians fail at: (1) really searching for truth by reading the Scriptures; (2) talking with God and listening for His voice talking back; (3) obeying unequivocally what the Lord calls a believer to do even if it seems difficult. The reader will be challenged by Rich’s personal journey with God. I couldn’t put the book down.”

Rich Mason’s latest business venture is founding a new private equity firm called Alpha Kingdom Capital (http://www.alphakingdomcapital.com), which will fund Christian companies that operate using wise Biblical principles, to encourage Christ-like working and living. Two investment funds are already open, one called the AKC Opportunity Zone Fund I, investing in a diversified portfolio of residential and commercial real estate in Qualified Opportunity Zones. The other open fund is the AKC Technology Innovation Disruption Fund I, which seeks to invest in early-stage technology innovation and disruption companies.

Apostle Samuel Fatoki’s newly released “The Power for Living” is a compelling discussion of scripture and ways to incorporate God into one’s everyday life


News Image

“The Power for Living”: a potent reminder of the strength one can draw from dedicated faith. “The Power for Living” is the creation of published author Apostle Samuel Fatoki a loving husband and father who was born in Lagos, Nigeria. At an early age, his exceptional basketball skills and academic abilities earned him a basketball scholarship to the United States. Fatoki graduated from New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico, with an associate of arts degree in business administration. He later received a bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of the District of Columbia and soon furthered his education by securing both master’s and doctorate degrees in theology from Canon Bible Institute in Florida.

Apostle Fatoki shares, “A life without power is a life of misery and woes.

“A look at the arsenal of a warrior will show you the confidence of victory that he has in battle. Other than the skills of the warrior and his battle strategies, one factor which determines whether he is a victor or a vanquished at battle is his armory. Funny as it sounds, it has been recorded that law enforcement agents in some lands flee into the bush when bandits appear because the bandits overwhelm the law keepers with their armory.

“The book Power for Living is Apostle Samuel’s charge to all believers to be filled with power for day-to-day operations of man’s life.

“You will find a lot of scriptures in this book, for there is power in the word of God. As many of the scriptures you can make personal to yourself (either through memorization or, better still, constant confession), I encourage you to pursue it with keen interest.

“Moreover, there is a section given to praying at the end of each chapter. The section is labeled ‘Praying Points’ because it is an activity section: give time to pray! The content of each chapter should encourage you to partake in that activity to complete the blessings that God wants to impart to you through the chapter.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Apostle Samuel Fatoki’s new book will challenge and encourage believers from any background.

Apostle Fatoki shares in hopes of empowering others on their spiritual walk to trust in God and his plan.

Consumers can purchase “The Power for Living” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

A Christian Perspective On Emotional And Mental Wellness” is a compassionate approach to total wellness


News Image

“From Healing To Wholeness: A Christian Perspective On Emotional And Mental Wellness”: an uplifting message of hope for those struggling with mental health. “From Healing To Wholeness: A Christian Perspective On Emotional And Mental Wellness” is the creation of published author Ebony Hudson, a dedicated wife, a loving mother, and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who has worked in the field of social work for twenty years in various settings, including hospital, mental health, hospice, and individual therapy. She obtained her BSW from Seton Hall University and her MSW from the University of Pennsylvania. She provides biblically based mental health therapy in the State of South Carolina.

Hudson shares, “From past traumas to current crises to the healing needed for the daily bumps and bruises of life, we can no longer view our mental health outside of our Christian faith. The story in Luke 17 tells us that after one of the lepers that Jesus healed returned to Him, he was told that his faith has made him whole. This book discusses how we as Christians can be healed and made whole in the area of our emotional and mental health. This book identifies specific steps that can be taken to begin and continue on the path of healing and toward wholeness. It will also examine lessons we can learn from individuals in the Bible who struggled with mental and emotional issues despite their relationship with God. This book seeks to help the reader fight the good fight of faith in the area of mental and emotional health and gives hope that with God, all things truly are possible.

“In a selfie-driven society that depends on the current culture to determine norms and wellness, this book returns the believer to the foundation of the Christian faith—the Bible and the power of God to do what seems impossible. In these pages is a message of hope that is desperately needed in the lives of individuals during these trying times. Our mental and emotional health are important to God, and it should be important to everyone within the kingdom of God. Our struggles in this area do not represent weakness, but instead, they remind us that in this life, we will have trials and tribulations, yet we have been assured that we have a Savior who has overcome the world, and as we depend on Him for healing, we can be healed and made whole.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Ebony Hudson’s new book is a thoughtful message of God’s promise that explores both the personal and the spiritual.

Hudson shares in hopes of aiding others to find balance and growth through determined, active faith.

Consumers can purchase “From Healing To Wholeness: A Christian Perspective On Emotional And Mental Wellness” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
