But There’s a Lot of Poor People
A few days ago, one of my leaders and I went to meet with a community leader to share with him the vision of our church within our immediate region and our plans for Easter to see that vision begin to be realized. The community leader responded with great enthusiasm; saying how desperately this region needed something like what we were planning to do, how there was nothing like this happening here, and how... 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.
