I came to know the Lord in January of 1995. I knew quickly that God called me to the pastorate to care for His people. This journey, that started in January 1995, has taken me down many roads.<\/strong><\/p>

I cannot take credit for anything I have ever \u201cdone\u201d as it is God that has done all these things \u201cthrough me.\u201d I could not have accomplished anything if it were not for Him.<\/strong><\/p>

I have earned a B.S Degree in Biblical Studies from Moody Biblical Institute and a M.DIV. in Pastoral Ministries from Liberty Theological Seminary.<\/strong><\/p>

God has used me to start a marriage ministry and a ministry for those who have been spiritually abused. I have written and published two books that address both of these issues.<\/strong><\/p>

Besides reading the Bible, I am always on the lookout for new books to read. \u00a0My desire is to further my knowledge of God, and what He is doing through people today. Sharing knowledge and challenging people to grow spiritually is exciting to me.<\/strong><\/p>

Misty and I were married in May of 2000. I enjoy dating her and during the summer you will find us at the local drive-in theater watching a movie with friends. We also enjoy just spending quiet time together talking and sharing our thoughts.<\/strong><\/p>

I am excited about being here at Faith Family Fellowship and I am looking forward to serving God and His people here in the Lehigh Valley!<\/strong><\/p>

Isaiah 40:31<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cYet those who\u00a0wait for the\u00a0Lord will\u00a0gain new strength; They will\u00a0mount up\u00a0with\u00a0wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
