"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I; send me!"
This is one of those days when I feel like I am runnig against the clock which beats twice as fast as every step that hits the ground. Although it took me six weeks to get back into the groove with classes after Christmas break, I think I am there now. I simply pray that my grades come up and that my professors will do what they can to assist me. I am still waiting for the adjustment from one of my classes. As long as I do not fail the class, I am fine with that.
I was born in the Amazing state of California; raised in Arkansas, and returned to California, where I later came to know Jesus Christ as Lord. I felt the call of God on my life for the Gospel Ministry at the age of 4 years old, and that call was later affirmed when I was a teen ager. I began working toward the work of the Ministry from that time on. I was ordained on June 20 1993 in my hometown of Laytonville CA. Later I moved north to Humboldt County where I worked for a time with the Humboldt County Sheriff's Dept. I left Humboldt County in response to God's call. I was received as Pastor of a struggling congregation that later closed. In 1999, I was asked to serve as the Pastor for a church plant in St Louis Missouri. I was officially hired to be the Pastor on January 4 2003. In April 2012 I was elected by my denomination to serve as Bishop, serving the United States, Canada and Mexico. I was consecrated Bishop and Emissary of Christ on July 14, 2012 after a unanimous vote from the congregations in standing. There have been many changes for the Glory of God, the road has not been easy; there have been many tears, but every moment with Jesus Christ is worth the struggles and hardships. For the Joy of my life and my strength is Jesus Christ. As a student at Nazarene Bible College, I am studying Pastoral Ministries with a double major in Bible and Theology. I am looking forward to what God is going to do with my life. I will do my best to post here regularly if you keep reading. In addition, I have come to understand that my actions as a Christian must be Intentional. In the Spiritual sense, To be transformed means to point beyond one's self and to the One who is greater--Jesus Christ. This is the point of this blog...to testify how God has transformed me into the image of Christ for service to others. I pray that this blog, will bless, encourage, and challenge you to be transformed for the purpose of Christ to serve others.
