Salvation Testimony

In spite of growing up in a Christian home, at the age of 18 my testimony consisted of nothing more than a series of religious experiences. As a freshman in college I invited the Lord Jesus to step out of heaven and into my heart. Since that day, God has continued to transform me into the image of the Lord Jesus, one moment at a time.

Call to Ministry

In 2000, God confirmed the call on my life to bi-vocational ministry. It is through a very special calling as a tent-making pastor that God has allowed me to serve Him in many wonderful churches during seasons of transition. In addition, it is through a very special calling as a CPA that God has allowed me to bring salt and light into the lives of others as they work in the business world.

Passion in Ministry

To effectively communicate the love of Jesus through the preaching of the Word under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Favorite Verse

Philippians 3:12-14
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (NIV)
