Personal Statement:

I am excited about how God can work in and through us to accomplish his purposes in reaching the world with the gospel. We are able to bring in the harvest through our congregation right here in Philadelphia as well as on the other side of the globe as our people are sent out. Being involved in getting the greatest news in history out to those who have never heard, to release them from bondage to sin and into a relationship with the living God, is the most privileged responsibility we have. Won't you join us in the effort?
