It has been such an honor for my wife and me to serve the Lord together now, for nearly forty years. We both were reared in godly homes and saved at an early age. I grew up in a pastor's home, and my wife grew up in a dedicated layman's home. Julie and her family were actively involved in the bus ministry, as well as many other opportunities for service. Her love for music became much of her devotion, as she became the pianist of her church as a young teenager. I surrendered to the gospel ministry at thirteen years of age in a revival meeting where my dad was preaching.

Julie and I met while attending Hyles-Anderson College in Hammond, Indiana, and were married in 1987. We started almost immediately in the service of God. I became an assistant pastor for a church in Shreveport, Louisiana. Knowing that the Lord had burdened my heart with pastoring and church planting, I took my first pastorate in 1993. In 1992, the Lord gave us a precious daughter, Emily. She was saved at an early age and surrendered her life for His service. She went to The Crown College of the Bible to complete her studies.

After pastoring in the states, the Lord burdened our hearts about the mission field. In 2004, we began deputation to go to Germany and minister to our American military who were stationed in Europe. The Lord allowed us to start two military churches in the country of Germany. We began a Euro-Wide Youth Conference, in which teens from all over Europe were invited to come for three days for preaching, fun, and fellowship. It was a blessing to have young people coming from ten or more countries. Dozens trusted Christ as their Savior, and numbers surrendered to the Lord's service.

We had to return to the states as I was dealing with a myriad of health issues. This caused us to have to look at a refocus of our ministry. In 2018, through the Lord's leadership we moved to Springfield, Missouri and I became the staff evangelist for Wilson Creek Baptist Church in Brookline, Missouri. It has been our joy to serve under the leadership of Pastor Randall Moody. Our hearts desire is to help churches around the country and throughout the world as they seek for revival, and help promote evangelism. Our nation desperately needs spiritual refreshing. God has given us the opportunity to help many struggling churches, as well as helping pastors as they seek for a new pastorate. I am blessed to be able to preach the power of the gospel.
