What if…We Don’t?
This weekend my church will be taking on some pretty big opportunities within our city to reach its people for Christ. The opportunities will be no small undertaking, and are costing us a very large amount of money. The activities will take literally all-hands-on-deck, and will be spread out over a three day period: Easter Weekend.

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
