AGE: 35
HOMETOWN: Anderson, Missouri
COLLEGE/DEGREE: Ozark Christian College; Bachelor of Christian Formation
CALL TO MINISTRY: After years of living for my own desires, our Lord drew me to himself and called me to make a drastic change. On a trip to Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, I was prompted into a chapel and felt the Holy Spirit impress upon me that I needed to make a decision. I had a series of visceral dreams that evening that led me to surrender my whole self to our Lord God and follow in the way of Jesus Christ. I was baptized a week later. Two weeks later, I was prompted to drive onto the campus of Ozark Christian College. Over the course of the first semester, he affirmed that serving him and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ was exactly what I needed to do.
