     Hi friends, I want to take some time to update you on the Ministries here at Gospel Broadcasting.  As many of you know August 17, 2008 was my final day as Pastor of Shield of Faith Baptist Church.  After much prayer I feel the Lord would have me go full-time for the Ministry here, by focusing on the one Ministry here I feel we can do more for the Lord.  We have several opportunities to serve the Lord that lie before us.  We need your prayers and support during these days.  I do believe God is going to open many doors for Gospel Broadcasting.  
     My wife Kristi and I are stepping out by faith, we are going to be working our support as Missionaries here at Gospel Broadcasting.  We'll be working out of the Northwood Baptist Church, where Bro. Allen Barker is Pastor.  Below you'll find a link to view our letter of reference from Bro. Barker.  I've never asked the Church's for anything personally, I've always promoted Gospel Broadcasting and its Ministries.  However, in order to be full-time and fulfill the duties that need to be done I will need to be supported as a Missionary.  As many of you know I do not drive and will have to rely on my wife in this area and many other areas.  So please pray on what your Church may be able to do for us here at Gospel Broadcasting.
     As far as the Ministry, we are looking forward to the future.  There should be a major announcement coming in a matter of weeks about a new Ministry that will be added to Gospel Broadcasting.  I feel this new Ministry will be a blessing to many people.  We will be updating this page on a regular basis to keep you informed about what is going on here at Gospel Broadcasting. 
     Thanks again for your prayers and support!

President of Gospel Broadcasting, Inc
