Favorite Bible verse or passage:
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
(Tit 2:11-14)

Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.
(Psa 37:3-6)

Growing up in a Christian home I came to know Jesus at a very young age. Though I knew Him as my Savior, it was not until I was 16 years old that I allowed Him to become the Lord of my life. My goals, desires, ambitions and dreams were all radically transformed, and I knew that above all else I wanted to serve Jesus with all of my heart and life. After Graduating from high school, I went to Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrietta, CA. While I was at Bible College the Lord gave me a greater love for His Word, and a desire to teach and preach it. After graduating from Bible College I got involved in the JR High ministry at Harvest. In March of 2005 the Lord opened a door for me to come on staff full time. What a joy it has been to follow Jesus, I can’t imagine what life would be without Him!
