About My Family

I trusted Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 8. My whole life and ministry has been in the Southern Baptist denomination. I have been privileged to serve through local churches for 45 years as well as chaplaincy positions.

I have been married for more than 38 years to Charlene. Charlene and I have three adult children and two grandsons and one granddaughter. We have settled in the Nashville, Tenn., area. I enjoy playing golf, reading and family time.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC-endorsed volunteer chaplain with the United States Secret Service, the Metro Nashville Police Department and a disaster relief chaplain. Additionally, I’m a trainer of chaplains for the Alabama State Board of Missions and Tennessee Baptist State Board of Missions. Chaplaincy ministry has been very challenging and rewarding. I am currently serving as the director of Crisis Response Care (CRC), a ministry of K-Love.

SBC Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray for people to come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray more will become missionaries and chaplains. Pray as I lead the CRC ministry in training crisis responders.

Participate

Commit to long-term prayer support. Explore the opportunities to extend the reach of your church by becoming a chaplain. Be involved in supporting chaplains and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Talk with a chaplain about his or her ministry context. Send resources that support a chaplain’s ministry context. Pray for chaplains and their families.
NAMB does not provide compensation for SBC endorsed chaplains. However, a general fund is available to receive donations in support of the ministry and pastoral care to SBC endorsed chaplains. To donate, please visit Support Chaplaincy (missionaries.namb.net/projects/full/chaplaincy).
