About My Family

My calling by Christ came at age 8 in Vacation Bible School when I went forward to both receive forgiveness and to pass on the message of forgiveness in Jesus’ name. My wife, Becky, similarly came to Christ very young—at age 5—and went on to become a missionary in the music and drama ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (now CRU).

Two of our three boys, Luke and Sam, are taking steps to enter missions. Andrew, our youngest, lives with high-functioning autism.

About My Ministry

I currently serve as a full-time SBC-endorsed hospital chaplain, having previously completed more than a dozen years both as a pastor serving five churches and as a missionary, traveling 14 times overseas to plant churches and to teach and train pastors and lay ministers through East-West Ministries International and through Moscow Theological Seminary.

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 as we transition to a new position leading chaplaincy at Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton, Colo. Pray for peace, grace, strength, balance and rest/flow. Pray for churches as they prepare to send out missionaries and chaplains to push back lostness in North America. Pray there would be receptive hearts among the people in communities where missionaries and chaplains will serve. Pray churches and individuals will partner with missionaries and chaplains, giving of their time and talents. Pray the Father will send more workers into His harvest to join missionaries.

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.
