Why Ministry? I accepted the Lord as my Savior as an 8 year old after an AWANA meeting at my church.  When I was 16 I attended a camp meeting (Camp Chetek in Chetek, WI) where I heard a clear message from Matthew 9:36-38 on the need for more laborers.  I sensed the Spirit's urging and I surrendered that night to His call. From then on I have pursued God's will for my life.

Favorite Verse: Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it.    I Thessalonians 5:24
