STATEMENT OF MINISTRY

My ministry, whether in the church, at home, or in public is to serve God

wholeheartedly (Eph. 6:7-8), relentlessly pursue a relationship with God (Rom.
8:13-17, 1 John 2:28), and to worship Him through my life as a living sacrifice
(Rom 12:1, Lev. 1). By serving God wholeheartedly my goal is to do all things as if
unto the Lord. In my relationship with God I pursue Him as my heavenly Father and
I attempt to mimic Him as a child mimics their father. Finally, I strive to worship
God through being a living sacrifice by offering up every part of me so that I am
completely surrendered to Him.

In ministering at a church, I still strive to meet these same goals. Also, while
ministering at a church I take a participatory leadership style. By this I mean that I
take part in the lives of those involved in my ministry. Not only do I try to lead
others by showing or telling them what to do, but I also listen intently and consider
input from those who are involved in ministry with me.

PERSONAL TESTIMONY

God’s work in my life began before I even had understanding. I was born into this
world with lungs full of holes. (My parents describe my lungs as if they were like
Swiss cheese.) The doctors told my parents that it was unlikely that I would survive
more than two weeks after my birth. So, my parents along with a group of friends
offered me up in prayer. My mother specifically begged God that he would let me
live and if he did she prayed that I would be able to use my voice to honor him.
God brought about a miracle in my life and completely healed my lungs to the point
where I do not have problems with my lungs at all.

Later on in life when I was about five or six years old I decided to begin my
relationship with God during a Sunday morning service at church. I continued in
this child like faith until I was about twelve years old. At this point in my life I was
no longer seeking after God, but he still had plans for me. During a middle school
retreat God grabbed a hold of me and I decided to recommit my life to him. From
then on I have been in a continual relationship with God with both highs and lows
as I continue to grow in him.
