I grew up in a wonderful Christian home. For as early as I can remember my parents would take us to church and Sunday school on Sundays. We would attend most of the functions that the church would have throughout the week. I have fond memories of those days. Memories of Vacation Bible School, Sunday school, Church camp in the summer and all that time I was learning and hearing about Jesus. My parents would often talk about Jesus and what He was doing in their lives.

I had heard many times and I had seen how Jesus had changed people's lives. And even though I wasn't a terrible kid, I still knew that something was still missing in my life. One day my Sunday school teacher showed me how I could have what was missing in my life. I was about eight years old when I made a life changing decision. And when I made that wonderful decision, I had a life changing experience.

To this day, my life has never been the same. The Bible became real to me and I was able to understand it. I had a joy and a peace and a feeling of security that was beyond words. I knew then what I had been missing and what I had only seen before in other people's lives. God continued to teach and guide me in all of my ways.

But there was a time in my life, (my late teens), when I rebelled against God and didn't follow His will for my life. It was only when I repented and re-dedicated my life to Christ that He really started to use me in a wonderful way.  I guess the most astonishing thing that has happened to me was when God called me into ministry for Him. And since then I have been blessed and privileged to serve Him as a minister of the gospel.  He continues to make my life complete and I am really looking forward to what He has in store for us all.

Knowing Jesus as my personal Savior and Lord is the best thing that has ever  happened to me and if you don't know Him in that same way, I urge you to check out our page called Knowing Jesus and check it out for yourself.  You see, I know without a shadow of a doubt that if something were to happen to me right now, if I were to die, I know that I would be with Him and live forever with Him in heaven. It's a feeling of peace you'll never understand until you take that step of faith yourself and receive Him as your personal Savior and Lord. He's calling you to come to Him... I hope you'll answer His call. 

God bless you...

In Christ,
