Thoughts on Revival
One thing has been on my mind the past few days: Revival. For those who grew up in church, Revival may carry with it connotations of: Heading to church immediately after your parents got off of work, without eating dinner beforehand. Going to this “Revival” at your church every single night, sometimes for weeks on end. Not getting out of this “Revival” service until after 10pm... read more

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.
