I grew up in a Christian family in central Iowa. My mother explained the gospel to me when I was a young child. As a result of that I felt burdened to receive God’s salvation from my sins. It was at that time that I repented of my sins and placed my faith in Christ for salvation. Years later, I went off to college and got a bachelor’s degree in the Bible. Shortly after college I spent six months in China teaching ESL and doing missions work. That experience was a real eye opener to the need for the gospel in other cultures. So after returning home I found a church in Ames, Iowa that had an outreach to internationals and college students at Iowa State University, and I have been blessed to serve there for many years. In my free time I enjoy studying theology, apologetics, and learning about other people’s beliefs. This often challenges me to examine my own faith, and to continually learn more from the Bible about Jesus Christ. I strongly desire that others will come to know the truth about who Jesus Christ is and what He has done for us.
