I hope and wish that I will be a person that has love, courage, and wisdom so that I will be able to

About Me

I am 29 years old and on fire for God. I drove a Tank in the Army for four years before going to College. I have gone to college and gotten many free T-shirts. While I was there I earned a BA in Christian Leadership and a minor in Youth Ministry. I am now in Seminary for my Masters of Arts in Discipleship and Christian Formation with a focus in Leadership and Missions. God has given me the vision to be a church planter in another country to a younger generation of people. Hopefully, in Sudan. Although, I will be doing that, I also hope to implement a discipleship and mentoring plan to the leaders of the Church Plant so they will also be able to implement it to the congregation when I have left the church. The goal is that there will be a firm foundation for these churches, since I really haven't seen too much out there in the churches today. He has helped me to see that there is a large need for people to help in this harvest field because there are so few that want or have the heart to work with this generation. The Seminary in which I go to is in Cleveland, TN. It is so amazing there. The landscape is always so beautiful, and it is great to see God's great artistic side everyday. When you look at the awesomeness of the mountains and challenging yourself in hiking up these magnificent structures He has made, it makes it all the much better. I currently work at the same place in which I do all of my vounteer work. I am currently the Chief of Security at North Cleveland Church of God. I volunteer at North Cleveland Church of God, where I am the Director of the Media and Sound Department of the ALT Middle School Ministry. I help in training the students in Media Shout and Lights. On my days off from work, school, and church, I enjoy hanging with my friends, going hiking on the Ocoee River, the mountains of the Smoky Mountain National Park, or anywhere else there is. I enjoy watching movies. If I get the chance, I also like to go Whitewater Rafting. When I am not doing these things, I am always alone spending plenty of time with the Loves and Best Friends of my life; whom are Jesus and my most amazing girlfriend, Miriam. While I spend a lot of my time with her, it may not always be in person; because she lives in another state. That time I spend with her is by the phone.....

My Interests

I would like to dedicate this section to Quotes that really stand out to me: "Love without courage and wisdom is sentimentality, as with the ordinary church member. Courage without love and wisdom is foolhardiness, as with the ordinary soldier. Wisdom without love and courage is cowardice, as with the ordinary intellectual. But the one who has love, courage, and wisdom moves the world." ~ Ammon Hennacy (Catholic activist, 1893 - 1970)

I'd like to meet:

For starters, Jesus Christ and all of the missionaries that helped in furthering the Kingdom. Anyone that is willing to die for the love of Christ. Anyone that knows that you can't fool around when it comes to God. C.S.Lewis, because he wrote the most amazing books that really make you think and are challenged because of them.View All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment

Music:

I like everything from Classical; such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Liszt, Kachaturrian, and Brahms to Metal. I will listen to everything except Country Music. I'm not saying that all Country music is bad, there is a couple of songs that I like, but they usually have a rock feel to them. I like Rap, as that goes to my upbringing in my neighborhood and of course the Army; because it is one big Ghetto. I listen to Metal, rock, punk, hardcore, Worship, Techno, Jazz, Blues, R & B, Christian, alternative, and probably whatever else you throw at me. Artists name include Led Zepplin, Burlap to Cashmere, Black-eyed Peas, David Crowder Band, Jeremy Camp, Thrice, L. A.
