6. If you could spend a day with anyone currently living in the world, who would it be and why? There’s really no one that I would rather spend time with than my wife.  It’s rare that we have a whole day to do nothing but enjoy each others company.



7. What is one fact about you that would surprise people to know?  I’m a little claustrophobic.


8. What roles do you play at MPBC? I teach Sunday school, have served as a deacon, am an active member of the brotherhood, serve on the youth council, serve on the recreation committee, and otherwise try to help out when the physical work needs to be done.


9. What is your favorite part of being a member of MPBC? Being able to fellowship and worship with fellow believers that I am confident are “real.”  I love the fact that I know God is at work here.  I’m convinced, now more than ever, that He is laying the ground work for something that’s going to be truly incredible. 


10. What is your dream for MPBC? My dream is to see MPBC grow spiritually to the point where people recognize that we have a “direct line” to the throne of God.  I want people to know and be able to visibly see that God hears and answers the prayers of our people - because they are directly aligned with His will.  I want us to be a “lighthouse” on a hill (beside 421) that points the lost to Christ.  I want us to learn to love each other unconditionally, and to realize that our programs and functions are NOT catered to the comfort level of those of us who are already saved.  Everything we do should be about leading the lost to Christ!
