I was blessed to be raised in a Christian home. My parent made sure that I, along with my three sisters knew about the saving knowledge of Christ Jesus. We lived in Nebraska, where our country church taught the importance of making a commitment to God. I made this commitment, and in my teen years felt the call of God to enter the ministry.
I attended Kletzing College in University Park, Iowa, receiving my B.A. and major in Theology. While attending college, I was student pastor of two Methodist churches for three years.
I am married to Marge. We have four grown children, and blessed with grand children and great grand children. For many years, Marge and I have been sharing the love of Christ, through ministry and counseling.
After my retirement from the ministry, we visited Good Shepherd United Methodist Church for one and a half years. We found sound preaching, true doctrine, love and fellowship. We were lead by God to join this church, to participate and become involved.
I am very humbled, yet honored to be requested to join the devoted Staff of Good Shepherd. I join them with their enthusiasm to win souls.
God has been so good to me for so many years. I want to continue to minister of the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, and of His great love and compassion, and how very important they are to Him.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, I will do my best in fulfilling this commitment.
