About Me

Well to start with, I love Jesus. That's really what my life is about. Currently, my wife and I are planting a church in our hometown of Granger, IN. (www.oasis-granger.com) Additionally, I oversee international church planting for our network of churches called, Oasis Network for Churches. Which means I get to travel a lot. Last year I was able to go to Tampico, Mexico 3 times to help 3 Oasis churches get off the ground there. It was awesome. It's like living the book of ACTS, the deaf hear, the blind see....God is so good. Also, I want you to know that if you stumbled across my site and are interested in church planting or missions, I'd love to hear from you.I also love grace. To me, that's the gospel, that God loves us not based on our works (or behavior) but based on His work on the cross...if you can get a revelation of that - it'll change your life.
