My wife, Anna, and I both had life-changing experiences with God at a young age in the church. We remember the good news being presented and deciding to follow Jesus. We felt the love of a Heavenly Father who gave his Son for us. He was so gracious to forgive us, renew us and give us the assurance of eternal life with Him. In that moment, and in moments since then, we've felt the abiding presence of God.

Like many other Christians, we've been telling family, friends, and even strangers about Jesus ever since. Honestly, our marriage and family wouldn't work without Him. He's the center of everything we are!

Along this journey of faith, of over 20 years, God's been faithful to send other Christian leaders our way to let us know He's called me to be a pastor and church planter.

Like every other leader, there's been an exciting and challenging season of preparation. Since 1999, I've served on the pastoral team of Destiny Church in San Antonio, Texas. Pastor Dave Bell gave me my first opportunity in ministry. It's been a joy to serve as a worship leader, youth pastor, children's pastor, executive pastor, and on the elder team.
