Pastor of Equipping and Multiplication, Ridgepoint Church

“The Lord put a call on my life while I was at Tabor. Small group Bible studies awakened a desire to know Him personally and experience Him in community. Then a class I took on world mission opened my eyes to the needs of unreached people all over the world. I was given opportunities and mentoring at Tabor to step into various ministry leadership roles. I also took time during my summers at Tabor to work in various ministry situations, including short-term missions, which solidified my call into full-time ministry.
