About My Family

I married my beautiful my wife, Leslie, 18 years ago, and we have been blessed to parent six precious souls. We homeschool our children, and we enjoy playing sports. For fun, I love to be outside! I enjoy working with my hands, hunting, fishing and camping.

Leslie, the kids and I enjoy welcoming people into our home for a meal, coffee or just a chat. We have a heart to see people grow in their faith and especially want to see marriages and families strengthened.

About My Ministry

I have been in ministry for 25 years. For the past 10 years, I have been on the mission field in the United States Air Force as an SBC-endorsed chaplain. I have loved being a chaplain in the Air Force. We have experienced fruitful ministry in the military by God’s grace and to His glory. We have also been greatly blessed to serve the Lord in the local church, and we have enjoyed using our unique gifts and skills to love, disciple and engage with others in the gospel.

I love to proclaim the Word of God. I also enjoy counseling in grace and truth. God has gifted me in strategic planning and organizing, which I have used to establish new ministries, execute events and create networks to unify the church and the community. I strongly desire to help others flourish in serving the Lord and His church!

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 churches as they prepare to send out missionaries and chaplains to push back lostness in North America. Pray the people in communities where these missionaries and chaplains serve will have receptive hearts. 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 and chaplains.
