In addition to recently becoming senior pastor at Mountain View Church, Boles has also expanded his Mighty Moment Ministries, a media ministry where people can go online and view archived sermons as well as daily devotionals. For Boles, “it was always a dream to start a media ministry” and he wants “to encourage people on their daily walk with God.” When asked how he is encouraged, he said: “Seeing God’s hand. God is as mightily working in the hearts of man today, as He ever has.” With his “passion for the lost” and dedication to the Lord, Boles is driven because the “work is great, and time is running out. We need to do all we can to strengthen those who know Jesus and introduce Him to others.” Boles has a burning desire to help others ÿ nd the Lord, and he looks forward to serving the Las Vegas community. Even though he recently relocated from Georgia, his constant goal remains to make the church “a refuge for the hurting and a harbor of peace in stormy times.” He also believes that the church “should be a light of hope heralding the message of Christ’s love to the world.” He believes that we are all “24/7 ambassadors of the Lord.” In addition to his passion for leading others to Jesus Christ, Boles “loves to travel and explore new areas. My family has this bug as well. I enjoy reading and learning about history, photography, gardening and nature. “I have a heart for the Hispanic community. Having served as a student missionary in Chile and being fluent in Spanish, I am a friend and advocate of the Hispanic work in this conference. My wife’s family is from Mexico and the Spanish culture is an important part of our life.” His mission is to “grow the church and the kingdom of God.” ˝ e people of Las Vegas are truly privileged to have him and his family serving in the community.
