I had a passion for people to know Christ personally and really to experience what I experienced not being a Christian and knowing that Christ is more fulfilling and satisfying than things in the world that I thought were. I took Bible studies in my dorm and fraternity in college. I enjoyed that and saw that it had an impact on people. After graduation, I went on staff with a ministry called Campus Outreach and started one at Midtown Christ Community Church Arkansas State University. 5610 Broadway Street [MM21 on map] That experience gave me more vision for ministry and www.cccmidtown.org tested my gifts, talking to and reaching more people in going from Non-Christian to Christian and reaching them spiritually.
