Testimony:

"During the summer of 1982 before my senior year in high school I gave my heart and committed my life to Jesus Christ. From that point on my life changed. In the fall of 1989 after several months of prayer, self examination, and personal deliberation I answered the call of God upon my life to preach His Word. My passion in life is to live in such a way that people see Jesus in me."
