My Christian Experience
It’s far too easy for someone to say, “Yes. I am Christian.” But, you should look for evidence.
I will show you my faith by my works
~ James 2:18
Tom Vail speaks at New Life Baptist Church in Leesburg, FL
On June 16, 2024, Tom Vail was invited to speak at New Life Baptist Church in Leesburg, FL. The message was intended to remind all Christians that we have a duty to fight evil in our society, in our government and in politics. We cannot abandon civic life and allow evil to reign unchecked.
Specifically mentioned in the talk as 2 Chronicles 7:14, which reminds God’s people to repent in order to receive healing of their land. Also mentioned was Ephesians 6:12, which refers to spiritual battles. But, what is not clearly stated is that the evil works through people in earthly positions of power. Finally, James chapter 2, the principle message of which is: Faith without works is dead.

OCCUPY: Christian Leadership in the Community
In January 27, 2024, we held and event in Umatilla for the purpose of encouraging Pastors, Christians and Churches to become more involved in politics, society and government. I was the primary organizer, with the help of a few volunteers – and a LOT of help from above.
Look at the Event website to see the list of 17 Speakers, mostly Pastors, from around Florida and also from other states.
I hope you took some time to look at the Video Gallery. There is some interesting information there.
Also, you should look at the websites from the Speakers. LOTS of good information there.
My Testimony
I don't have a dramatic story. There was no great conversion. There was no depths of sadness and depression that I was saved from. There was no drug or alchohol addition. But, there were a few minor miracles along the way. I was raised Christian. From the time I...
My Trailer
While campaigning, I would normally drag a trailer with me whereever I went. It was one of my most popular campaign advertising platforms. On the rear, however, is something completely different.
Read carefully.
My Bible
I have more than one Bible
I’ve read the Bible from cover to cover multiple times
I’m currently reading a version (NKJV) with a parallel Greek version, based on very old Greek manuscripts. Study notes explain Greek grammer, word origins, variations between different historical texts.
Lake County Prayer Breakfast
Stephen Strang, Director of Charisma Publishing, asked me to assist in organizing an Annual Prayer Breakfast for Lake County. I arranged the first meeting for the Organizing Committee. At the second meeting of the Organizing Committee, I was elected as Treasurer.
Day of the Bible at the Florida State Capitol
In 2024, while I was attending a Pastors’ training seminar, I was introduced to the Director of the First American Bible Institute. When I called him, he introduced me to the First American Bible, also known as the Aitken Bible, the first Bible printed in America, in 1782. His mission is to give a Bible to every state legislator in the country.
With the help of a Pastor in Tallahassee, this project was executed at the Florida State Capitol on opening day of the 2026 Legislative Session.
What made this project truly interesting was that there was an actual historic, printed in 1782, copy, housed in a plexiglas display case, that people were allowed to hold and be photographed with. Many State Legislators had this experience.
One of the objectives of the project was to remind State Legislators permanently that our Nation and our laws are based on Biblical principles, by giving each of them a Replica copy of the Bible with their name embossed in gold on the front – a forever keepsake.

I have be sharing the Black Robed Regiment concept for around 6 years. This message is based on the idea that Pastors and Christians STARTED the War of American Independence, rooted in principle of Freedom of Religion.
I have a short video explaining this.
There is a longer video, produced by a Pastor in Oklahoma with a more complete explanation.
I, along with Pastor Seth Tweedale, have founded the Black Robed Regiment of Florida to assist Pastors in understanding why they should be involved in society, politics, government, education, and culture.
The Black Robed Regiment of Flrida has a website with information and links to additional resources. There are links to more than a dozen Pastors and Evangelists explaining this in their own words.
John Peter Muhlenberg was a Pastor in rural Colonial Virginia. He became a Commander of the Virginia militia, and eventually a General, and served as an advisor to General George Washington.
