Testimony: I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at the age of ten.Three years later, He called me into music ministry. Since that time God has brought me through a pilgrimage of study, observation, experience and ministry that has prepared me to be a minister of music. I continue to grow as God stretches and changes me into what He wants me to be as His servant. He has blessed me with a wonderful Christian wife who shares my commitment to evangelism and to minister through music to the body of Christ. Being a minister of music and leading people in the praising of our God gives me more joy than I can express.
