When I was 14, Carl a youth group volunteer, began meeting with me three times a month for a time of friendship discipleship.  To this day I consider these times the greatest contribution to the foundation of my Christian walk.   For three years the nurturing consistency of a good example of Christ mixed with basic bible studies was revolutionary to me.  My goal is to develop and execute discipleship strategies that can be effectively implemented and duplicated.  This challenge give adult leaders the chance to equip teens and teens a chance to be discipled."

 " The Bible tells us in Philemon 1:6 that we know Christ better the more we share him.  A top priority in ministering to teens is to motivating and equipping to reproduce spiritually.  This experience helps them grow in Christ.  Teenagers become transformed when they are exposed to Holy Spirit life changing situations and trained in practical methods relevant to their environment. I enjoy influencing others to realize that God wants to use them in His harvest.  It's a big fat lie that we should be sheepish in sharing Christ with others.  There are so many creative-witnessing avenues to explore.  The issue is not personality, but spirituality. 
Sharing Christ is exciting!"
