He has done his graduate work at University of the Rockies, Denver and Concordia

“My greatest joy is equipping and encouraging the people of Timothy
to be positive witnesses in the community, workplace and home, so that those
who do not yet believe will hear the Good News about Jesus. We continue to
pray that those people would come to faith and then act on that faith.”
Equipping people is a challenge that is addressed through conversation, example
and prayer, using the spoken word, written word, and through the use of new
technologies.
“I’m excited about the opportunities God has put before us to
establish a larger ministry presence in the southern part of Blue Springs.
Timothy will continue to be a place where lives are touched for Christ through
worship, study, fellowship and prayer. We will find new and innovative ways
to proclaim the Gospel in the Blue Springs region.”
