My Prayers for 2012.
Lately I have been remembering the lessons I learned, and how I was challenged, by the book Sun Stand Still,to pray big-audacious prayers that only God could answer and come through on. There are four things that have been going through my mind the last several weeks that I want to begin to pray for fervently in the year 2012. Those four things are: 1. The Old Big Lots Building: I fully believe that one... read more

Public Prayer…
So often times, people talk about how they are sick, have headaches, are tired, stressed out, etc…. When we (me included) hear them say such things, we’ll say things like; “I hope you get feeling better,” “I’ll be praying for you,” etc… But often times we don’t really think about their predicament; and we quickly forget that we said we would pray, so we... read more

I’ve Found Someone New
“I’ve found a man, I don’t need you anymore. He’s brought me into the safety of his bed. He might even love me; he tells me so whenever he wants to be with me. He let’s me take him out to dinner, and buy him nice things. He even stays at home and takes care of the house, missing me, while I’m away at work.

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.

As we arrived back in Salem, I realized that I had to start having regular and... read more

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.

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.
