Darrin Payne

 Mr.MTAC is 44 years old.Born & raised in Passaic County, New Jersey, he graduated from High School in 1985. His teen interests include being an Honor Student, holding office in Student Government, playing the alto saxaphone in jazz, concert and marching band, singing tenor in the choir, guest solo work in school, church and various local venues and partying like a "rock star"- his life's disturbance until his late 30's. These years make up his initial MTAC training. He studied various curricula at colleges in New Jersey and Pennsylvania including Accounting, Business Management, and English. His first degree was completed in 1991 and he entered the world of medical imaging. It was a rewarding career for nearly 15 years before he was overcome with a major skeletal defect that took him out of his career permanently.Fortunately,God was birthing his affinity towards ministry. He has blessed Mr. MTAC & preserved him during these life-changing events. 

He married at age 23 and is blessed to have 3 healthy kids - 2 boys and a girl. The family suffered greatly during the transition years. While learning the ropes of marriage and fatherhood,his "writer's voice" emerged.He started his 1st book at 26. His intent to maintain relations with his wife is unrealized.Life circumstances altered those results considerably and they are no longer together. 

He was blessed to go back to school to pursue another degree in Ministry Studies.A 2nd graduation in 2008 at age 40 occured.in 2010 he began to live as a single man for the first time. Through many dangers, toils, and snares he found that God's hand on his life was sure. He continues to preside over Darrin's life and keeps him in the position of His servant. Darrin starts each day by saying to Him, "Thank you Lord for the gifts of life, health and strength"- not because it sounds good but because HE IS GOOD! "It just goes along with my MTAC lifestyle." He is thrilled to know that "God is my refuge and strength.A very present help in trouble." Thankfully we don't have to be in "trouble" to realize God's presence-He just keeps on getting "sweeter and sweeter.Darrin is learning to "be" dad after all the changes they have survived.His kids-21,16&15- are his Earthly love!He also loves any situation where sharing the goodness of the Lord via the Conqueror Ministries platform is in effect.He has 3 books and working on the 4th & new music projects.
