Summary
I have always lived right here in west central Illinois. I grew up in the church. My father was a Methodist minister in Lynnville, IL and after that with his wife (my stepmother) in Biggsville and Gladstone, IL. They also served with the Salvation Army in East Moline, IL and Davenport, IA.
In 2018 I made the decision to follow in my father's footsteps and pursue a career in vocational ministry.
I firmly believe that the past 3-1/2 years along with my constant dedication of service to my local church have more than prepared me for serving God with my whole life by serving others, and doing what God has called me to do, mainly loving everyone because He first loved us, so much that He gave us His Son, who became both God and man, lived a perfect/sinless here on this Earth, and yet would take the punishment for our sins by dying on a cross. I want to do my part in sharing that message to everyone I come in contact with and do as Matthew 28:19 tells us-"go and make disciples of all nations"
