Borderlands

I could talk about all of the opposition I faced after embracing my calling, my family thought I would better invest my life in other career interests, my pastor thought it was wonderful but I didn't rise on the level of political expediency to do anything to help or guide me on my quest. I really had only two mentors early on in my quest, two men who believed in me, invested in me and gave me my first opportunities to preach and teach: my youth pastor and my future father-in-law.

I struggled over the next few years after high school because I didn't have the money to go to Bible college and I had little support for pursuing other pathways to ministry. So, I did the only thing I knew to, I just went to work, took some courses at the local junior college and took advantage of every ministry opportunity afforded to me and just sought the Lord and prayed for direction.

In that time I started on a career path, was highly successful, got fired not for anything I had done, but to pave the way for someone else's ambition, got engaged, nearly lost my fiancé in a severe auto accident that left her mother in the hospital for three months and her sister in a full body cast for six months, got married, got my car repossessed, sold most of my worldly possessions and packed the rest into a Volkswagen Bus and headed half-way across the country with my bride to go to Bible college.
