What is your favourite Bible verse?
Loads of them, can I give 2: Ephesians 3:20, Acts 16:31
Who is your favourite Old Testament person?
Moses
What are your three main gifts?
Pastoring, evangelism, and teaching. (I think – unless someone would like to tell me otherwise. I enjoy and love these three things.)
It is important for the church to pray for those in leadership. How can we pray for you?
The Apostle Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 5:25 “Brothers, pray for us”. So yes, it is vital to me that the church prays so that I will be able to finish the task God has given to do.
What do you like about being a pastor?
People. I love to watch people grow in the Lord from infancy to grown men and women in God. I also love being part of people's lives when times are hard and I love being with kids thru the different stages.
One of the most enjoyable things for me as a Pastor has been to watch kids grow up thru school and then into young men and women. Then the ultimate is to be involved in their weddings and watch them then bring their kids up to love Jesus. That, for me, is priceless.
What advice would you pass on to a newly born child of God?
I suppose I would point them to our purpose statement, teaching them how to F.E.A.S.T. –
F ellowship is vital; they will not survive alone in this world.
E vangelism – telling others about Jesus will strengthen their own faith.
A dore God in praise and worship; it will build spiritual muscle.
S erve others. I often say to people, “Develop a serving others ministry quickly in your new faith.”
T each and be taught. Continually sit under the word of the Lord, taught by faithful servants.
If they do these 5 principles they will grow and mature in the Kingdom of God. |
