I have served more than thirty-six years as pastor of six churches, one each in Texas, California, and Wisconsin, and three in Florida. I am blessed to serve as Associational Mission Strategist for Mercer and Thomas County Baptist Associations, having begun August 1, 2019. My life verse is John 15:16, in which Jesus says, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.” (HCSB)
