Lighthouses over Goldsboro!

From now through Easter Sunday, EVERY home in Goldsboro is being prayed over at least once EVERY week. While we may not personally know each neighbor, we can and are lifting each person before God in prayer. Everybody stands in the need of prayer, so we are praying to BLESS:

-- Bodily needs (adequate diet/sleep/exercise, personal health)
-- Labor/school (creativity, efficiency, success, recognition, reward, personal satisfaction, good management of money earned)
-- Emotional well-being (day to day management of difficulties, healing from big disappointments, inner healing from trauma earlier in life)
-- Social relationships (that others would be supportive and helpful and vice versa; that those who are detrimental would have less access and or experience positive life change so no longer harmful)
-- Spiritual (to come to a personal relationship with God through Jesus; if already in that relationship, that there would be hunger for the Bible, effective integration of those truths to life, and fruitfulness in ministry to others)

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.
