EDUCATION
I earned my Th.G. Degree from North Side Baptist Church Bible Institute in Abilene, Texas in July of 1987. I have done extension studies through Bethany Bible College in Dothan Alabama, American Christian College in Oklahoma City, and Liberty University including Harold Willmington's Liberty Home Bible Institute. I received my Th.B from Texas Baptist College in 2000. I finally earned my Th.M. and Th.D from Salt Lake Baptist College in April of 2003 and January of 2005 respectively.

DOCTRINAL STAND
I believe in the Blood, the Book and the Blessed Hope. I am a King James Bible believer, that is, I hold it as the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God. I believe salvation is by grace through faith in the blood sacrifice of my Lord Jesus Christ alone. I hold historic independent, fundamental, landmark, local church, Baptist doctrines. I am neither a Calvinist, nor an Arminian. I oppose Charismatic doctrine, ecumenicalism, all types of catholicism, and everything else that is against sound Biblical doctrine. I believe in the pre-tribulation Rapture of all believers of this Age, and believe the Lord's Second coming is near. I am a Dispensationalist, but not a Hyper- Dispensationalist, that is, I believe there is only one way of salvation and that is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. My complete doctrinal statement may be viewed online.

MISSIONARY SERVICE
I have been working with the people of Southeast Asia winning souls and training leaders since 1988. I arrived on the field in September of that year after just 6 months of raising support. I have had a major role in training 6 Asians, 4 of whom are presently leading churches. Presently I lead a Radio Ministry, and a Bible Institute training a few men.
