Inner-Reflections:
20/20 Not in the last year pandemic...
20/20 Not in clarity of Vision....
20/20 In insight after ten years in prison I can finally see myself. This is a impressive state of begin for a 46yr old becoming man. So many years I was blind to the fact of my own selfishness as well as of the society in which I lived. I had no understanding of God and His purpose for mankind nor of the Democracy of the United States Constitution and how others decisions had so much of and affect on how I lived and where I lived my life. I tell you''ll the life of and incarcerated state has truly been a conscious awaking to understand spirituality in reality.

Mini-Biography of Alphonso Bell
Hello world, my name is Alphonso Bell and I am the Visionary and Founder of Filthy Rags Outreach. I write this mini-biography of ministry in the hopes that you will get a glimpse into the soul of a temporal man with an eternal vision of winning lost souls into the Kingdom of God.
I could begin with all that God has blessed me with on this short journey of walking in the light or all the accomplishments that I have achieved in my short 46years of life, but the reality, however, is that I have failed in a lot of areas in my life. As a Father for starters, I failed as a father and a son due to my selfish ambitions and lifestyle. I made a mess of the first half of my life misusing and abusing of what I come to find out was a innated God given gift of influence, personality, and counsel. As a result, I became a leader of a gang which caused me to give up my good family name and upbringing all for the pseudo family of gang life.
I share all this here with you all to say that failure is not final. I now live with a mentality that I might be caged but I'm really not .... because I'm more than conqueror in Christ Jesus, and I realize that all my wisdom has come through my failures in life. Now, I'm willing to serve the world through the ministry of transparency, by telling of my past defeats so that others can know that they too can live a victorious life after any mishap or displacement they might suffer.
In closing, I would like to combine some of my past with my current experiences of growth and achievement to show that I am more than capable of fulfilling my earthly duties of being a servant leader and visionary for Filthy Rags Outreach. I plan to help this world by redirecting the misguided youth, men and women by being somebody they can count on and relate too.
"We are a face to the unseen, an ear to the unheard, and a vision to the visionless."
