After a career in sales, at the age of 53, God called me into the ministry. On June 1, 2005 I became the Associate Pastor at The Oasis Church. I spent the next 13 years in that capacity. My next journey was to be the Interim Pastor at Bethel Community Baptist Church for 2 years.

 

I am married to the love of my life, Kathy, whose walk with God always inspires me to greater devotion to God. Between us we have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.

 

I have a passion for helping other Disciples of Jesus to reach their full potential in Christ so that they will make a difference in building God's Kingdom. Because of this desire I have studied, practiced and committed to learning the skills of a life coach over the last 16 years, so that I can help busy but motivated Christians develop the spiritual disciplines that will help them to become who they already are in Christ.

 

The Scripture that continually grabs my heart is;

 

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2 (ESV)
