My desire is to follow the command of the Great Commission and go make disciples.  God has called us to live as lights in a dark world.  I think the greatest tragedy in the church has been the lack of living as Jesus lived and not letting people around us see his example.  I also believe there is a void in many churches of true life on life discipleship as Christ has called us to do.  I believe throughout my calling into ministry God has given me a passion to pour into people through discipleship relationships so that they would catch the vision and do likewise.
