Conversion I was privilege to grow up in a Christian home and accepted Christ at the age of eight. Throughout high school I made many “new starts” and re-commitments to follow Jesus Christ, feeling that in the I had to have an exciting conversion story to validate my salvation. This led to emptiness and un-fulfillment. However, in 1986 was a turning point in my journey of faith where substance to the walk became the desire and the passion for Christ became the goal Conversion I was privilege to grow up in a Christian home and accepted Christ at the age of eight.

3. Calling to Ministry My desire to follow Jesus’ call on my life began in Middle School. It was ignored and almost forgotten until 1986. It was rekindled. While football at a local high school in Albuquerque this hunger for ministry lead me to join the staff of Young Life where I served for 10 years. Then coached football at the college level followed by a career in direct sales. My pilgrimage continued with a ministry at the Denver Rescue Mission and at Dallas Theological Seminary doing ministry with donors, in this area of advancement Calling to Ministry My desire to follow Jesus’ call on my life began in Middle School.

Spiritual Giftedness Pastor / Shepherd Teaching / Preaching Evangelism Spiritual Giftedness Pastor / Shepherd Teaching / Preaching Evangelism Preaching Philosophy Expository preaching is the communication of a biblical concept, derived from and transmitted through a literal study of a passage in its context, in which the Holy Spirit first applies my personality and experiences, then help make application to the individual. The intent of the message I communicate is multifaceted to captivate both the believer to a deeper walk and the seeker who is sensing the draw to faith. The Word does not return void.
