My family and I have a great passion for the West and long to see many churches planted in Las Vegas. I love that my position allows me to spread Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout this area so people can be liberated from legalism and license into the joy and freedom of sonship.

Phillippians 2: 1-11: “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Seeing how God works in the lives of people to meet their needs and draw them closer to Him. How no situation is too impossible for God. The joy of seeing Christ lived out in the lives of others. Guy Williams, Ruling Elder

Romans 3:21-25: “But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished. “
Seeing God's hand at work in our midst and witnessing the incredible change the gospel makes in peoples lives. |
