Summary
I have a passion for disseminating the Good News of the Gospel through the proclamation of the Three Angels Messages through whatever means God's providence makes available to me. Over seventeen years of experience with the fruit of a number of Baptisms and Profession of Faith have sharpened my skills and abilities to reach souls for Christ. It is my desire to continue while time lasts to use my talents, knowledge, skills and experience in any available position the Lord opens up.
