In one sentence describe your family status.
I have been married to the love of my life, Jackie, for 5 years this July, and we now have a 20 month old son, Isaiah, and another boy on the way in a couple of months.
In four sentences how did you come to know Christ?
I grew up in a Christian family and believed in Jesus, knew tons of Bible verses, watched “Jesus of Nazareth” at least 100 times, but did not commit my life or have a relationship with Jesus Christ. During my junior year of college in 1997, I felt a tug from the Holy Spirit on my heart, convicting and guiding me to give my life over to Jesus. I called my mom up in college to tell her I was ready to give it all to God, and she wept, telling me she had been praying hard for me that last couple of months. During my Christmas Break back home in Ohio I repented of my sins and asked God to rule my life, and the Holy Spirit came into my heart as I was reborn. I was baptized a week later and began this remarkable adventure I’m living out today…praise God from whom all blessings flow! (sorry, 4 sentences?)
