I am excited to have the privilege to have been called by the Lord to
Forest Hill Baptist as the Youth Pastor. I try to bring an excitement as
well as a light hearted humor to our group. My main focuses are to win
souls to the Lord and to strengthen the bonds that we each have with each
other so we can walk closer to Christ.
It’s not unusual
for us to try new things such as games and different learning techniques.
We may go to a concert, have a retreat, participate in a Bible study or
just have Dinner and a movie. The main focus is that we rely fully on God
and dedicate ourselves to each other. Whether we realize it or not, we are
each other’s safety net in the world while the Devil constantly tries to
tear us down.

I have a very
special burden on my heart for the youth of Forest Hill. I have grown
closer to them in the activities and trips that we have taken since coming
here. I have been blessed to create strong bonds with several of the girls
and I am looking forward to growing stronger in those relationships and
creating new ones with everyone else. I try to show that being a Christian
doesn’t mean you have to be boring. You can have a great time and laugh
around with everyone as you gain a closer relationship with Christ. As a
role model, I try to express my past experiences to the youth to show them
where any potential problems or struggles might be.

As the substitute
teacher and head chaperone, I try to bring an attitude of fun,
fellowship, and support to the group. I try to be a Christian role model
and someone that the youth can come to when they have situations or
questions arise. I feel like the Lord has laid a burden on my heart to
work with the youth and help them avoid the pitfalls and stumbling
blocks that I encountered as a youth.

I am the guys
Sunday school teacher. I try to bring a real life approach to the classes
and promote discussion and real life scenarios. We try to keep the
atmosphere light, yet still being focused on Jesus Christ. I also try to
be more than a teacher, I try to be involved in the lives of the boys. By
going camping, fishing, and other activities with them, I try to bond with
them on the level of friend and brother in Christ as well as on the
student/teacher level.
Our interests and
hobbies vary and we have everything from a fishing “trophy” board to
constantly changing discussions on television and movies. All of the
uniqueness of each of the guys in the class helps to bring us together
under a desire to become closer to the Lord.
