Where Life Happens
We believe that church should happen wherever life happens. You shouldn’t have to leave life to go to church.

15 years ago… Pt 7: 15 years later
Oh, what my eyes have seen!
7… The number of completion.
The retelling of my story ends today with, well… today.
15 years later.
I have spent the last week recounting the events surrounding the day I was saved, and revealing thoughts, reactions, and the experience of being redeemed by my Savior, Jesus, at the age of 15.
Since that “fateful” week, I my life has been quite the journey (far more than I could have ever imagined)!
-
The journey has included (not in any particular order):
- Bible college
- marriage
- living in Pennsylvania and Detroit
- now living in Pensacola
- a daughter
- being on staff at three churches
- now planting a new church
- traveling to several foreign countries for ministry
- witnessing great miracles of healing
- experiencing great miracles of provision
- praying with many to receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord
- baptizing a bunch of teenagers
I have been so blessed by God.
I definitely can NOT imagine what my life would be like had He not saved me!
My spiritual journey began in Pensacola, FL while I was living in Attleboro, MA. Now, I live in Pensacola and am currently planting a church here.
It’s wild.
God is so good.
I pray that this story as encouraged you.
It has been so great reminiscing…
… but now, onward and upward!
This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.
2 Timothy 1:6
Fanning the flame…

15 years ago… Pt 6: The end of the beginning
We ride.
Now begins the 1,400-mile trek back the frozen homeland.
Less than a week has gone by, and yet everything has changed.
What will school be like?
What will my (then) girlfriend say?
What will my friends think?
What will my brothers do?
All these thoughts ran through my mind…
… and it didn’t really seem to matter.
I will never be the same!
Look what the Lord has done!
Whatever the responses will be, it won’t deter me from pursuing my Savior.
I have been born again… born in the fires of revival… and something unquenchable now resides in me.
What is store for me now?
What will my life be like?
What will God ask me to do?
