PERSONAL STATEMENT
Raised by Christian parents, I was actively involved in a church, and was constantly exposed to God’s inerrant, infallible, and holy Word. On Thursday, June 23, 1999, I sensed the presence of the Holy Spirit and I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. Since my conversion, I have committed myself to follow Christ. The Holy Spirit has impressed upon my heart an unequivocal call to the teaching/pastoral ministry. I am currently enrolled at a seminary, and am pursuing a Masters of Divinity in Christian Ministry. I am a Southern Baptist and I agree with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 and would be happy to discuss any doctrinal matters at your request. I look forward to investing my gifts and zeal for Christ in a church or ministry that shares my desire to increase the Kingdom of God.
