Where to begin.....

When I was growing up the Bus Ministry had a lot to do with how I was molded and I thank God for that. I came to the knowledge and understanding of my Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him in the stair case of the church I grew up in (Liberty Baptist Church) of Stockbridge, GA at the age of 7. God used a lot of great people from this church to help me grow and mold into the best Christian I could be, naming just a few to thank them would be my bus captain who is living in Heaven now, Larry Green, one of the greatest man of God I ever meet, then there is my Youth Pastor, Eric Bryd who really challenge me to become sold out to God. With the help these people and others from Liberty I would not had the chance to see God's ministries in different places.

A few of these places would be all of the youth activities I was able to go on, also the Gospel Light Youth Retreat for 3 years while in high school being able to hear great men of God preach His word and really sink in to your heart, mind, and soul. Then there is the winter retreat with your peers and Bro.Byrd and his family, who was the best youth pastor, tutor, friend any one could ask for.

In 2003 God provided me a way to go on my first missions trip and my first airplane flight (it was scary lol) to Salt Lake City, Utah to go and help and meet any needs we could for Bro.Neal Wheeler. While there we were able to give Gospel tracts out in the heart of what I call Mormon Country, planting the seed of salvation and several people there came to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. During my time there God began to deal heavily with my heart and His will for my life. It broke my heart seeing and knowing that I was walking next to people that would die and go to Hell but no one never told tell of the Saviour. After a lot of prayer it was there back in July of 2003 that I surrender to God's will for my life which is to preach His word and fulfill the great commission. If you get to chance to travel I recommend Utah it is a beautiful state.

While also in the youth group God allowed me to be able to go yet another missions trip in 2005. To Puerto Rico to visit and help in there ministry, missionaries Steve and Ann Buchanan. While there we were able to pass out over 15000 Gospel tracts and one salvation. It was here that God showed me why and where my missions support goes toward. I was a wonderful time and one day I would love to go back and help out with the Buchanan and my dear friends the Spear family.



More to come...
