I am an Ordained Minister and seek to serve God where ever I can. I am deeply moved by the idea of seeing another Great Awakening in our day - to see the Church so on fire that our very Nation changes because of it. I also have interests in missions and adoption. It bothers me to hear about children that are adopted to become sex slaves of pedophiles, when if the Church stood up and did it's job, we could empty the orphanages of the world!
