I had the privilege of being raised in a Christian home and attended Calvary Baptist church. At the age of five, I knew I was a sinner and on my way to Hell. One Sunday night after church I told my Mom I needed to be saved and she knelt down beside my bed with me and I asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me.
At the age of fourteen, I felt the Holy Spirit calling me to preach the Gospel. As many people do I began to run from God. I began to get into trouble in school and at home. At the age of 19, I met my future wife and began to settle down. I never shared with anyone about my calling but continued to feel the Holy Spirit calling me. A year later Carinda and I were married and began our family.
After several years of running from God, He got a hold of my heart. On a very cold winter day in 1994, God called our third child home to heaven. This trial for me is what I believe the whale was for Jonah, a last chance to do what God called me to do. Shortly after this, I surrendered my life to preach the Gospel and to serve God wherever He wanted.
I attended Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Mo. Since surrendering to the ministry, I have been blessed to serve in several ministries including; song leading, bus ministry, youth pastor, and associate pastor. I have lived in Waxahachie since 1999. In the last few years, I have heard the call of God to start a work in Waxahachie. What started as a burden has turned into a deep burning desire to serve the people of Waxahachie and help them grow spiritually in their walk with God.
