About My Family

I have been extremely blessed by being able to spend time with our nine children through home education using a Bible-based focus. God has continued to work in my life teaching me through many seasons of life, especially now as He is scattering our children’s families out of our close physical area.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC endorsed community service chaplain with the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. I have been involved with Civil Air Patrol, Christian Youth in Action (teens), Child Evangelism Fellowship and after-school Bible Clubs.

My experience in church ministry has been primarily to infants and elementary aged children. Most recently, God has opened the door for one-on-one and small women’s groups and whatever I can help with around the church and its building.

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 churches as they prepare to send out missionaries and chaplains to push back lostness in North America. 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 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.
