Why I love what I do

As many of you know I've been pastoring Morning Star since I was 22 years old (8+ years has gone by very fast). Over these years there have been some great moments and plenty of low moments. When Cecil and I made the decision to start MSC and invest our life in building God's Kingdom, we had a genuine desire to help others encounter God and assist them in the process of being transformed to look like Jesus. I was counting up the number of baptisms over the past 8 years (my memory is not as good as it used to be) and came up with at least 42 names! Jesus Christ commanded His followers to be baptized to symbolize the new life that begins when one surrenders control and makes Jesus the Lord. On June 5th I had the honor of baptizing four adults. It is really exciting to be part of a church community that values life transformation and seriously following Jesus!
