I grew up in a broken home and did not attend church as a child. Once I got into my teen years, a family friend asked me to come to a teen event at a church and told me there was going to be pizza. So, like any teen I was going for the pizza. When I got to the church, I saw that there were a lot of games. I went and played some of them. As the pizza got there to the church all the teens were called in to hear a message. As I was heading to my seat, I saw a friend standing in the front. I sat down in the seat and watched my friend as he began to speak. He started to talk about how he was a sinner and that he was going to go to hell. As he was speaking about sin, I realized I was a sinner, and that hell was going to be my home. I started to cry and believed the Lord could not love me. The man that invited me saw me crying and came to me. He asked me what was wrong, and I replied with “I am going to hell.” Then the man told me that I do not have to go to hell. He said that Jesus died for me and gave His life for me. He then showed me the Romans road and that I could ask Jesus to be my Savior. I did that night.

I was called to the mission field when I was 22 years old. The Lord was working in my heart to go to college and study missions. As I was at college the Lord was working in my heart about helping churches with the bus ministry. I worked in the bus ministry the whole time I was in college and many times our bus broke down. During those times sitting in a broken-down bus, I was wishing I could help. I finished my degree in missions and the Lord opened the door for me to get my trade degree in auto mechanics and diesel mechanics. I prayed that the Lord would use this degree in helping me on the mission field. I started working on buses right after I graduated and realized the Lord could use me in helping churches with their buses. I then called around and started asking churches if they could use a mechanic. Many churches replied and said they would love for me to come. I knew at that time the Lord was calling me to help churches with mechanics and to train the next generation in this trade. My wife and I and our four children are starting deputation to Keep the Buses Going all around the United States and serve in local churches helping with soul winning, bus mechanics, bus ministry, teens, children’s ministry, and music. We appreciate your support for us.
