   I was raised in a Christian home where my
parents taught me about the Bible and what
Jesus did for me, that He died and rose
again to pay for my sins.  I accepted that free
gift at a young age. I struggled with things
through the teen years but the Lord made it
very clear that I should attend
New Tribes
Bible School after high school. There I began
to learn that the Lord wanted a personal
relationship. Since then God has been so
faithful in using His word, the Holy Spirit and
other believers, including my wife Sarah, to
teach and draw me into a closer walk with
the Lord.

Growing up in a Christian home, I came to
Jesus with genuine “child-like faith” around 5
years old, but began to walk away from Him
in high school.  God was ever faithful and
used many people and circumstances to
draw me close again.  I met Ryan at New
Tribes Bible Institute and moved from
California to Wisconsin when we were
engaged.  Marriage has introduced a whole
new dimension of God’s faithfulness, as He
has patiently taught me more about
thankfulness, the power of prayer, daily
reliance on the Holy Spirit and what it means
to be “in Christ.”
