I Am A Graduate of Southern Seminary!

Today I graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY with a Master of Divinity degree in Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth. I felt relieved when President Al Mohler's commencement address emphasized how incompetent we all are for the gospel ministry (2 Cor 4:7-11). I already feel the weight of my incompetence and hearing Dr. Mohler bring this message gave me great encouragement.

We are not up to the task of gospel ministry, but God is faithful to work through us to accomplish His work for His own glory. "Jesus Christ calls his ministers from the ranks of the incompetent, so that He will show his singular competence through them," Mohler said. "He uses earthen vessels to demonstrate his own life in us. He confounds the wisdom of the wise by using the unworthy to demonstrate his worth."

Now that this stage of life is over, we are looking to serve the Lord in Italy with WorldVenture in church planting and theological education. We leave for the two-week missionary orientation June 6. Afterwards, we will begin our support discovery ministry. We will not be able to leave for Italy until we have sufficient financial and prayer supporters to undergird our ministry.

Please let me know if you would like more information about our ministry vision and please pray for us. We are trusting the Lord to accomplish His work through our incompetency that He might gain all the credit and all the glory.
