Biography

My personal relationship with God began when I was five years-old beside my bed with my mother leading me to Jesus. As with all children, I had much to learn, especially in my spiritual walk with Jesus.  I look to age 13 when I realized I needed to be filled completely with the Holy Spirit, and yielded my life completely to Him at a revival meeting. The Christian life is one of progressive, continual, and complete surrender.  Over the course of the last ten years, the Spirit has led me into full-time ministry away from a lucrative career, far from my geographic and social center, and into experiences of culture far from my. own. It is a joy to serve Jesus! The challenges and rewards are great. He is faithful. Pray hard and fasten your seat belt! My wife, Paige, and I met at Union Bible College where we both graduated. I am currently working on a Ph.D. at Liberty University in Biblical Exposition, which I started two days before receiving the call to come to KMBC. God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform! We have three adult children (two married), and six grandchildren.

“Full and high salvation is receivable be mere faith, and hindered only by unbelief.” – John Wesley

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” (Proverbs 9:10)
