About My Family

I have a daughter and a son-in-law.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC-endorsed healthcare chaplain at Houston Methodist Hospital at the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. I am a board-certified chaplain working in the emergency department and the stroke center where I provide compassionate, spiritual and emotional support to patients, their families and staff. I also collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to determine and implement appropriate patient care.

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 continued and renewed strength while I provide spiritual and emotional support to patients, their families and staff. Pray for wisdom, knowledge and understanding for the medical team as they give themselves to the service of their patients.

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).
