"It is my great passion and burning desire to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all who are searching for truth! I don't want you to simply know about God; I want you to know God deeply as your personal God. I want you to discover the riches of His love for you. I want you to live a life that is filled up to all the fullness of God!
This is my prayer for each of you who are seeking God from Ephesians 3: 16-19 (NIV) 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."
"It is such a joy to shepherd God's flock and truly nurture the growth of the body of Christ. I thank God daily for this calling and honor to serve Him and His people in this manner. As we seek God more, let us purpose to mature in our faith. Let us focus on the eternal versus the temporal things of this world. Let us walk by the Spirit within us and live free!"
