God’s mercy has been abundantly shown in my life.\u00a0 God has saved me and called me to preach the gospel.<\/p>\n
I was born in Germany and came to Connecticut at age 3.\u00a0 Both of my parents are strong Christians.\u00a0 My dad lived by faith even though he had a limited education and upbringing.\u00a0 My dad simply claimed God’s promises.\u00a0 He was a man of prayer who would get up early in the morning to pray in the living room before going off to work.\u00a0 He has gone to heaven.\u00a0 My mother is active in her Christian walk by witnessing, encouraging and sharing.<\/p>\n
After graduation from high school, I went to the military academy at West Point.\u00a0 Graduation was followed by additional schooling and then three years in Fulda, Germany.\u00a0 Some German Christians and I started a Christian ‘tea room’ that was open to the public on several evenings of the week.\u00a0 We would have scheduled Bible studies where others and I would teach God’s Word.\u00a0 After I came back to the United States, the ‘tea room’ group became a regular church.\u00a0 It still meets.<\/p>\n
After five and a half years in active military service, I resigned and became a civilian.\u00a0 Shortly thereafter, a position opened as youth pastor.\u00a0 After a brief service, I ventured out in traveling ministry.<\/p>\n
In the intervening years, I have been in ministry to include pastoring a church.\u00a0 I have taught classes to youth, singles and adults.\u00a0 I have made short term missions trips to Australia, Jamaica and Germany.\u00a0 I have witnessed to individuals and preached to groups.\u00a0 God has faithfully confirmed his Word.<\/p>\n
My three children are all living for God.\u00a0 My oldest son recently graduated from college and is married.\u00a0 My younger son and my daughter are attending college here in Texas.<\/p>\n
Rom 9:16\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. (NKJ)
\nPs 23:6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (NKJ)<\/p>\n
