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. We will be putting on a Good Friday Service, a Huge Helicopter-Drop Easter... read more

Wow! Something BIG is Happening!
Earlier this month, as we took a large group of youth and young adults to Generation Unleashed in Portland, God gave me a powerful word the second the crowd of 3,500 began to worship. I don’t think I will ever share the “word” on my blog, though I may in the future if I feel it is necessary to do so.

Sun Stand Still Part 4
The third building (in preference, out of 6) that I am asking God to make the Sun Stand Still for so that we can use it as a church facility for God’s glory in this city is: 3.

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.
