I was raised in church by a Godly family. My dad served as a deacon at Moreland Baptist Church. But I was born again until I was 14 at a crusade in Texas. When I got home to Moreland, AR, I made my profession of faith public at Moreland Baptist and was baptized by Bro Britt Pruitt who had a profound impact on my life. We moved to Atkins, AR my junior year in HS and surrendered to preach under the guidance of Bro Jenkins. In 1977 after graduating from Atkins High I enrolled at Ouachita Baptist. After cramming 4 yrs into 5 I graduated in 1982. In 1983 I met my future wife, Miriam Steinkuehler, through letters. June 9, 1984 we married at her family church in Grand Forks, ND.
