After having served as a pastor of Southern Baptist Churches for the last 15 years, the Lord has changed my path and direction.  As of January 2008 I have surrendered to the Lord's leadership to enter full-time evangelism.  I am thankful and excited about this new path that the Lord is scouting for me.  I believe that over these past 15 years the Lord has been preparing me for this new endeavor.  The Lord in His grace has privileged me to pastor 4 churches ranging from 12 to 2500 members.  Therefore, I certainly understand the challenges that face our churches both small and large.  I also understand the importance and responsibilities facing a pastor as he serves and shepherds a local church.

In beginning this new ministry some have said that they fear the day of evangelism may be coming to an end.  However, Evangelists are God's gift to the church (Eph. 4: 11-12).  I do not know if there has ever been a day when there was more of a need for real evangelistic preaching and real revival than the day in which we are now living.  It seems everywhere God allows me to go I find hungry hearted men and women who want to hear what God has said in His Word.  In a day when self help, psychology and positive thinking abounds from our pulpits God has still chosen the foolishness of the preaching of the cross to confound the wise and save the lost.  It still thrills me to be able to stand with an open bible and proclaim with great passion, energy and enthusiasm the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I would like to ask you to please pray for me this year as I begin to serve the Lord in this new ministry.  Pray that the Lord will grant me wisdom and discernment to follow His plans.  Also, pray that the Lord will fill my calendar with opportunities to preach and proclaim His Word and that I will be faithful to preach what He has already said in His Word!
