In 2 days August 9th will mark the 1 year anniversary of my move from New York to Chattanooga. It doesn’t seem possible that I have been gone for that long and at the same time it feels like another lifetime. God has proven faithful through my arrogance and pride and brought me unto a new humility. There was such an extreme sense of my self worth and value that was gracefully broken. I placed such a large degree of success and approval on my abilities and talents and neglected to recognize how important reliance upon Christ’s redemptive work would be for my life.
Coming to Chattanooga and leaving New York and all of my dear friends, family, and church community may have been the most difficult sacrifice of my life up to this point. The spirit of God is doing a great work in those people and in the midst of their communities and I look forward to a reunion with them!!! I am excited to periodically hear of how the Kingdom of Heaven is advancing in their lives and in their homes. God has proven to do a good work in me and I have been adopted into a new community! I am encouraged by his faithfulness and his relentless love and grace. Chattanooga has been and I believe will continue to be an incredibly formative stage within the journey that is my walk with Christ.
I am excited to walk into the next year with an open mind and heart as I can’t begin to fathom how great and wide the love of the Father is for our lives! It is overwhelming to consider the events of the last year and the opportunities the Lord has placed in front of me and I long for the moment to reunite with my beloved community and hear of how the Lord has moved faithfully among you and I will continue always to lift you up in prayer before the Lord. Thank you all for your support and prayers throughout this last year!
I truly Love You!
I will be more faithful to update this page with greater details of the work I am involved in very soon! Thank You for your prayers and continued support!
I am a Pastoral Intern on Staff with The Mission Chattanooga where I am working as the Director of Campus Ministries... I partner with College Young Life as a Volunteer Leader. Neither position is a paid position. The Internship is building off of a mentoring relationship where I am learning how to be a Pastor. Young Life is a place for me to learn some practical discipleship and evangelism. I am a “Tent Maker” so I am working as a Server in a Restaurant to support myself and through donations from various people. The more donations, the more free time, the more ministry. It’s been awesome, difficult and confusing all at the same time. The Mission Chattanooga is a Church plant that started about last January so it’s pretty new, exciting, and fresh! I’ve only been here for about a month and two weeks so right now I am just trying to adjust to the culture shock and just be a fly on the wall. I am just getting involved in different things and trying to learn as much as possible so that I can discern a need and then try and meet it. I have a lot to learn man. I’m being pulled and stretched and it’s been really really good, hard but good.

I just want to say thank you for your continued support of the work of God in my life and how he has used you to provide a platform that will undoubtedly impact the rest of my life. I feel so blessed to have this opportunity to be apart of the work that God is doing here in Chattanooga. I am so thankful for your partnership with me but on a deeper spectrum with God in supporting the work of his kingdom!
I pray that you would be blessed daily and see his hand in your lives as you reach out in your community and as you extend your hand to pour out and reach into the lives of a community who’s faith is being grown through your faithfulness! May the God of all Love, and Peace be upon you and may his face shine brightly upon your endeavors and may your lives be enriched by his spirit, Amen!
I apologize for the lack of recent updates. I have been swamped with getting everything in order and starting out on a new Journey. I really appreciate all of your support and prayers! everything will start to settle here in a week or two and then I will continue the process and start creating regular updates. Thank you for your patience!

I truly appreciate your help as I go to further the Kingdom of Heaven and as you partner with me in this endeavor. It is through you that I will be able to work unto this end!
May the god of peace and love go with you and bless you throughout your weeks and months and may you see his face as you encounter the hardships of your life, may he meet you where you stand and may you be comforted.
As of August 8, 2010 I will be taking a leap of faith launching me into full-time ministry working in Chattanooga, TN. I will be working with The Camphouse, (The Mission Chattanooga) a church plant raised by God and led by the Rev. Chris Sorenson. I will primarily be focusing on College Ministry where I will be partnering with Young Life’s Quest Ministrys at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga (UTC). I will be undergoing personal development under the Mentoring of Chris Sorenson as an Associate Pastor for The Camphouse and under evangelism development through Young Life under the leadership of David Haskins.
It is by faith and through grace that God would call me to place such as this and as I go I would implore of you that you pray. One, for the The Camphouse itself and the wonderful staff that God has so bountifully blessed us with. Two, for the people of Chattanooga whose hearts have been hardened to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have lost hope in the church. Three, for me as I undertake the work at hand, that God would bless me and that I may develop as he sees fit.
"I would pray that God be glorified in my life as i go and that his glory may be evident in yours as you partner with me, AMEN."

The Journey
"When I go to Spain . . I hope to . .to have you assist me on my journey there."
-- Romans 15:24
30 I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there, 32so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. 33The God of peace be with you all. Amen.
--Romans 15:30-33
4Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. 7If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; 8if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. 9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
--Romans 12:4-15
