About My Family

I have a wife, Julie, and one son, Matthew. I have a stepson and stepdaughter and 11 grandchildren. I worked in the industrial construction industry for more than 50 years. Both my parents have gone on to their heavenly home.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC endorsed correctional chaplain. I started prison ministry with Kairos. I volunteered for several years and was council chair for the group that serves the maximum security unit where I now am chaplain. I saw a need there, went back to school at 62, and got a master’s degree in ministry studies in order to spend the rest of my life in service to both the incarcerated men and the office staff at our prison.

I was ordained as a prison chaplain by my local congregation (Yorktown Baptist Church in Corpus Christi) in September 2021.

Pray

Pray for churches as they prepare people to serve as volunteers in our unit, a very necessary part of what we do. Pray for receptive hearts among the people in the particular culture and community where missionaries and chaplains serve. Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray for more to become missionaries and chaplains.

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.
Many missionaries build a team to join their ministry in prayer, participation, and provision. These friends, family and churches support missionaries beyond the tithes and offerings given within the church plant.
