PERSONAL STATEMENT

I have been in the ministry for twenty-nine years and have been a pastor for seventeen of those years. In my

years of ministry, the commitment to the call of God has been the total objective of my life. Fulfilling that call

with my wife, who has the call to be a pastor’s wife, has been our greatest desire. During these years, we have

learned the most important focus is being in the very presence of God. That reality itself has taken my family

from place to place and through many different situations. As a pastor, it is this very reality that I will lead my

church to follow along with deep teaching of God’s Word. We live in a generation who just needs God and Him

alone. He desires us to find Him and I will lead my congregation in that endeavor.

PRESENT MINISTRY INVOLVEMENT

We are members of Living Faith Church of God in Guyton, GA where we are very active in activities such as

Sunday School Teacher, VBS Teacher, and various church activities. I am serving as our Church Prayer

Coordinator for the 2013 Effingham County Adventure Weekend.
