Born in 1956, I was raised in a Pastor's home and was taught about Christ at a very early age. After a season of rebellion in my pre-teen and early teen years I came to know Jesus as my personal Savior.  I committed my life to serving the Lord in the workplace and entered the world of professional theatre as a technician.  I was filled with the Spirit in May 2007 and both my life and vocation were radically changed.  My hearts desire is to be used by God as a spiritual pyromaniac; that is, to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30) I am prayerfully waiting in anticipation of God's Holy Spirit being poured out for personal renewal and world evangelism.

The transformation process thrills me: to witness God drawing people to Himself; to watch God setting them apart as His adopted children; to equip believers to grow in the likeness of Jesus Christ; to encourage believers to seek repentance, forgiveness and holiness not as sin management but as a deeper, abundant life in the fullness of Christ; and then, to declare His glory among the nations, testifying to what God has done and is doing.  I want to be part of a worshipping community committed to these steps both in the local church and to the ends of the earth until the day of our Lord’s return.
