1 Peter 3:15 instructs us “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect”.
Yet most of us, in our shyness or lack of confidence, have rarely (if ever) verbally explained or shared the Gospel with another person.
This evening of training will introduce you to a few tools and train you in depth in one of those methods.

After graduating from Red Land high school and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I worked several years at Ships Parts Control Center. Jeanne came into my life simultaneous to my sense of a calling for additional training. We moved to Findlay, OH and finished my M. Div. through Winebrenner Theological Seminary. I was ordained by the Churches of God, General Conference and served pastorates in Cumberland, Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties.
Desert Storm arose during the mid-point of those assignments and again I sensed a calling and was commissioned as a Chaplain in the US Army Reserves. Three overseas deployments and 24 years later, I retired from the military and have returned to my boyhood home in Etters.
Married to Jeanne for four decades now (seems like yesterday), God blessed us with a daughter Sarah and son Zachary, who in turn are both married to great people and have provided five grandsons and one beautiful granddaughter between them! We are so proud of our children and our grandchildren!
I am very excited to be part of the Goldsboro Church and to have the opportunity to serve alongside these good folks as we let the light of Jesus be reflected into the lives and fabric of our community.
