New Year’s Prayer
Reflecting on the Spirit’s presence being so strong within the early church, so much so that the mere touch of Peter’s shadow was healing those who stepped into it; I am believing and praying that 2011 will be a year of power. I want to see God’s power and presence manifested so strongly within His church that He receives all the glory due his Name and His Kingdom is advanced like never... read more

Impacting Obscurity
Maybe you are feeling insignificant. Like you have nothing to contribute to this world and the advancement of God’s Kingdom. Maybe you feel too…average. But as I have been studying Acts Chapter 9 and the conversion of the the Christian-killer Saul, an obscure figure of history stands out to me. His name is Ananias. Ananias was an early Christian, and the first Christian mentioned by name... read more

An acquaintance of mine was talking to someone else about a mutual friend who has been very busy with all of her commitments in life.

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.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
