    About:In the summer of 2000 I started working with Youth as an intern. I had just fnishedmy freshman year at Indiana Wesleyan. It was during this summer at camp hearingDr. Lo speak that I felt God speaking to me. That night I felt the call to ministry.Since this night I have done everything possible to pursue this call. It was also atIWU that I met my wife of 5 years, Jenny. After graduation I spent 3.5 years in youthministry. I felt that it was time to pursue more education.
