Secret Lifelong Ambition / Desire - My lifelong goal is teaching in a university or seminary.

How I came to know the Lord - I grew up in a Christian home. Both my parents were faithful in serving in the local church. At the age of ten I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. It was not until the age of 19, when I truly begin to understand the significance of a daily walk with Christ. While living in western Europe in the early 90’s, I surrendered to God’s call to serve in full-time Christian service.

How I got here - I have been working as a church staff person, and for Christian organizations since 1992. I joined the staff of FBC in the summer of 2003 coming from a church in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Ministry Area Dream - I would enjoy the chance to teach at the undergraduate or graduate level. I have a real passion to teach others the principles I have learned from scripture and from ministry mentors, in regards to serving Christ.t
