I have served in the Christian Service Brigade Program here as a Leader in Battalion, Tree Climbers Coordinator, Chief Ranger and Chairman. My wife and I taught 4/5 yr old Sunday school class for 10+yrs. My favorite verse is Col.3:23 “whatever you do ,do it as onto the Lord ,not unto men” . I accepted Christ at age 8 during a stockade meeting during my late teens and early 20's. I wasn’t living for the Lord as I was taught. Finally at age 26 the Lord took me to the place I needed to be in order to show me I cannot do things on my own but that I need to rely on Him. From that day on I have relied on Christ to lead mine daily life.
