As a young boy of 9, I attended a crusade in El Paso, TX where I accepted Christ as my Savior. I lived my life for Christ for many years as a kid. Other kids in school would call me Jesus freak and other things but I was on fire for the Lord. and I didn’t let that bother me. Growing up in a Christian home was a true blessing. We attended church every week and I went to MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) every week and was mentored by some very special people. But when I was about 16, I started following the world instead of the Lord and fell away from my walk for around 22 years. I went through a divorce and after that started to go back to church and searching for the passion I once had for Christ. Audrey and I fell in love with the Lord and each other and committed our lives to the Lord and to each other in 2001. We have a wonderful marriage with God at the center. He is now our focus. I strive every day to grow closer to the Lord.

God tells us in Hebrews that His Word (the bible) “is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (4:12 ESV). We are also told that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work (II Timothy 3:16-17 ESV).
Throughout my life God’s Word has been poured into me through its preaching, through fellowship with other believers, and, most important, through the Holy Spirit. God called me to Himself at a very early age and I have had the privilege of knowing Him more and more each and every day through the reading of His Word and prayer. God continues to work in my life as He promised He would. It is a great honor and privilege to be a part of Maranatha Bible Church (MBC) as we seek to be “a community reaching a community” through encouraging one another to live out the Christian life.
