Best Advice Given To You: Try not to do things “too fast.” Rome wasn’t built in a day!
-
My Life Motto: Be content with what God has given you. Don’t try to “compete” with anyone else.
-
An Interesting Fact About Me: I am not organized the way Pastor is. However I have my own technique in getting things done my way.
-
My Heroes: My parents; Jesus; the men and women who, everyday, take the opportunity that God gives them to “reach out” to a world that is filled with various types of needs. But, selflessly, they “pour out” whether it be to clean the nose of a 3 year old or give a hug to a mother who is hurting… I have a new respect for the ministers abroad. They have left their home and family to follow the call of God.
