RECENT EXPERIENCE:
For the past year my family and I have followed God to Austin to plant a new church. This
effort has included fundraising, networking, building a core team, creation of church website
and other church materials including logo. Through this experience God has taught me more
about ministry and His desires for me in His kingdom than I have ever learned. I have become
more willing, humble, bold, and brave as I risked everything in pursuit of this new church and
God’s will for it. In the end, however, I have felt drawn back to serving within a church rather
than starting a new one. At this moment I do not understand fully the journey I have been on,
but I am confident it has been for my benefit and God’s glory.

SENSE OF CALL:
I have an overwhelming desire to see church done in a new way that will reach those who
have never been reached before. This has been a resonating passion of mine and a theme in
all my service. I feel called to serve a church that shares this passion with any or all of my
talents and experience, including leading worship, preaching and creating Bible series and
studies, connecting with youth and adults, and even web design. I trust God to lead me to this
church and am excited at His plans for my future.
