Sun Stand Still Prayer, Part 6
The fifth 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:5. The Old Discovery Zone building on the East side of Lancaster just South of Auburn Road.

Amazing Faithfulness
This weekend I saw an amazing display of sacrificial, generous, and faithful giving. Without divulging too much confidential information, what I witnessed nearly brought me to tears- which takes A LOT.

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.
