Disciple | Apostolic | Evangelist | Teacher

I have been in ministry for approximately 20 years serving the Lord in a variety of capacities and none has been more fulfilling than making disciples.

I was born in Europe while my father served in the military.  We moved approximately every 14 months until I was 18 years old.  My travels have provided me unique insight to different cultures and people groups.  The Lord has used these experiences in reaching the lost, the backslidden, the separated sheep, and those hurt by the church.

The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful wife – Sherri – and two beautiful children; Kyle and Erin.  In 2008 the Lord led our family from Maine to Georgia completely by faith (no people connections, no jobs, and no information about the area). Jesus said the following, And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me (Luke 9:23).”

Doing God’s will is my passion.  A primary part of His will for each of his children is to mature and make disciples.

I grew up in a Christian family that nurtured and encouraged my faith in Jesus Christ. I was eight years old when I responded in faith to God’s grace extended through His Son. I am so grateful to be a child of the Father, redeemed by the Son, and sealed by the Spirit. Throughout my childhood and adolescence my faith in Christ was cultivated through fellow-believers, weekly gatherings, and a consistent display of biblical principles from my parents. At the age of 25, I married my wonderful wife—Kimberly—whose journey in faith mirrors my own. She is a constant reminder of God’s grace in my life and the “one my heart loves”. God has blessed us with three wonderful children; Erica, Bethany, and Sarah. They are our greatest blessings and a wonderful reminder that our God is full of joy and passion.

I am currently 34 years old. At the age of 25 a friend asked me one simple question—have you ever been discipled?—that question changed my life. Since that time I have learned what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and then multiply that into others through the Holy Spirit. Disciple-making is a passion that God birthed in my heart for His glory.

Jesus said it best “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19).

Until the nets are full.
