About My Family

I am an unworthy sinner saved by the grace of my loving Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. I am married to my wife, Rachel, since 1993. We have three children and three grandchildren.

About My Ministry

I’m an SBC-endorsed chaplain with the Baptist Children’s Village (BCV) located in Ridgeland, Miss. The BCV is a ministry of the Mississippi Baptist churches who have been taking the good news of Jesus Christ to at-risk children and families since 1897. I have the opportunity to serve our staff of nearly 70 team members across the state of Mississippi, providing spiritual encouragement and comfort as our staff serves through sometimes difficult circumstances.

God has blessed us as we have sought to direct the minds and hearts of our staff members to the promises and provision of our faithful Father as they serve as a conduit of grace for the lives of others.

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, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, 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 that I would have additional opportunities to impact those I serve with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
