About Me

Me, me, me, me that is what my life used to be about. I learned early on in my life that I needed to look out after number one. I truly believed that I had earned everything and that no one had a right to it except me. It was my house, car, money and so on.

I seemed to have everything I wanted and yet I was not very happy. I spent most of my time sitting in front of a TV if I was not out drinking or golfing. I did everything I was supposed to according to the standards of this world, and it left me empty and always wanting more.

Fortunately for me, God had other plans for me. He put someone in my life that shared the gospel with me and invited me to church. Unbeknownst to me the bible study that she belonged to was also praying for me. With all that going for me it was only a matter of time before Jesus woke me up and on November 13th in a quiet living room at 9 in he evening I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have been messed up ever since (good thing).

My first church (and still my home church) God gave me a real family of Christian men and woman that I could find a home with. It was and is a wonderful home church for me and I miss being back there still. I spent the first couple of years of my walk there, but I really felt I was being called to even deeper into the depths of who God is.

I spent many, many days and weeks looking for a good place to go to bible school. It seemed like everyplace I looked at and prayed about God would not release me to go there. There always seemed to be some valid reason why I should not attend that school.

I was amazed at how many bible schools are out there and I certainly looked at a lot of them. When I was about to give up I trip across the website for IHOP and discovered that they had a school. The moment I click on the FSM (Forerunner School of Ministry) website it was like God hit me with a 2×4 and I immediately knew that this was the place that I was supposed to come to.

I have now been here for over 2 years now and I am currently in my 3^rd year in the Apostolic Preaching Program and it has been everything and so much more the God promised it would be.

I spend my days in the IHOP Prayer Room and going to school. My time in the prayer room has forever changed me. I have found that you cannot spend 24-30 hours a week in prayer and not encounter God. It has not all been easy as I have had to confront many things about my life that I had to lay at the cross and seek forgiveness for. You cannot live for 40 years apart from the will of God and not stockpile up a lot of bad in your life. God is a redeemer though and he has and is still washing me clean and preparing me for that awesome day when He will return. It is a day that I long look forward to.
