My Story
I grew up in Waynoka, OK and attended the local Church of God until my latter grade school years. Consequently, I knew everything a child should know about Jesus: he is God, he is perfect, he died for our sins, etc. During my 8th grade year, I began being inexplicably drawn back to church. A close friend attended the Baptist church in town, so I went with him and gave my life to the Lord a few years later, although it wasn’t until a few years after this that God really began changing my heart.
If surveyed during my growing up years as to the “best” kids in town, the Waynoka residents would have likely mentioned my name. While it is true that I did stay out of a great deal of trouble, my heart was dark. I was, in fact, a “whitewashed tomb” mentioned in Matthew 23:27, but Jesus Christ began to show me that while my heart was dark, his is full of light! He has been changing my heart into the likeness of his ever since. While a member at FBC, Fairview, OK, God placed within me the desire to teach His Word and shepherd His flock though various teaching and preaching opportunities. Nothing less than teaching the Bible will do.
My Prayer for FBC Helena
It is my prayer that the people of FBC Helena can worship Jesus Christ more fully, become increasingly passionate toward living lives fully devoted to him, and reach out to show the love of God to those around us who so desperately need it.
