My wife, Dawn and I welcome you to our web page. We believe that God's incredible love was expressed to us through the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ. Because of His great love we can have a new life. The Bible says, "If anyone is in Jesus Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. In 1973, I experienced the reality of that Bible verse which is found in 2 Corinthians 5:17. The Living Bible Translation says it this way, "... those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!" My life has never been the same. The old ways have fallen to the side and I am now living an exciting life in Jesus Christ, where everyday is an adventure. I still have my share of trials and tests, but I now know that there is purpose in every one of them.
Let me share some things about my family. I was born in Cleveland and raised in Mentor, Ohio. After getting out of the Marine Corps in Hawaii, I met my wife, Dawn who was born and raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii. We pastored on the Big Island and also on Oahu for a total of 13 years before moving to Ohio in 1992. We have pastored in Geneva, Ohio for over eleven years now. We have a full house with ten children (see below). They range in age from 27 years down to 4 years old. As you can imagine, there is hardly a dull moment around our house. We are not a perfect family, but a loving, growing family. Eight of our children were born in Hawaii and the last two were born in Ohio. We have seven daughters and three sons.
I believe that family is at the heart of the Kingdom of God. At New Life Assembly of God, we are growing as a family of believers. Our vision is to be a family life center. A place where we can help each individual whether married, single, divorced or in a blended family, grow in their understanding of what healthy family relationships involve. We also want to example what it means to be family members in the kingdom of God. Like I said earlier, we are not a perfect family, but we are endeavoring to be a loving, growing family of believers at New Life.
We also believe that we are a part of an even bigger family of believers that make up the church in Northeastern Ohio. We desire to compliment the Body of Christ and to be a blessing to the other parts (churches) of the Body . We enjoy the fellowship of pastors and churches in our city and the surrounding counties. We invite you to fellowship with us, however, our biggest desire is that you know where Jesus Christ wants you to be connected. There are many good Bible believing churches around us. Look for one that lifts up the Lord Jesus Christ and has the Bible as it's authority.
God bless you and have a good day in Jesus!
