Through God’s grace, I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ in August 1993 and started attending First Baptist Church of Morrisville about two months later. I originally planned to come here for just two weeks and then check out other churches in the area; however, the church was just starting a new believer’s classes which I felt would be beneficial for me. I stayed for those classes, fell in love with the people here at the church and never left.

I have participated in and led numerous ministries at the church and I was confirmed as an elder in January 2003. My passion is to point people to Jesus as their only hope, and to then disciple them in their spiritual journey as they follow Him. I believe Christians are called to tell the world about Jesus not only by what they say, but by how they live their lives.

I am currently on sabbatical in order to raise support for our family to be missionaries for Jesus in Sweden.

Favorite verse: “Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.” (1 Thessalonians 2:8 NASB)
