Year I became an elder at PV: 1996

Ministries I’m closely involved in: Foreign Missions, Youth and Teens, Singles

My fondest experiences as an elder at PV: Times when the elders and others have met with one of our members to pray for healing. Also, my trips to Kenya, East Africa and Haiti to visit our missionaries were memorable occasions.

My personal dreams and goals for PV: That our members will become known for their love for each other and their passion to share the Lord. That we will be willing to accept and nurture a diverse community.

My real passion: Mission work, uplifting worship services and stimulating discussion of God’s word

Myself in a few words: I enjoy getting to know people. I am a product of my life and service in the church in Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa and California. I enjoy traveling, especially to the northwest part of this country. I enjoy being outdoors doing a number of things.
