Restored Los Angeles

Q: What do you hope to contribute to the Family of Churches?
It is my joy to help people see Jesus more clearly through the Scriptures and in their own lives, so that they can enjoy and obey Him more fully. With my bent toward teaching and evangelism, I love helping disciples of Jesus share the Gospel with others out of an overflow of their awe and intimacy with Him. I hope to help cultivate disciples and churches who love Jesus and people deeply as they seek His Kingdom first and see all of life through His eyes of grace.

Q: One book I think everyone should read is:
