• Years of service with YFC has been about 3 years on the steering committee and recently as an adult leader
• Great place I visited is the Grand Canyon because it reveals that there is an awesome Creator.
• Book I really enjoyed is Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis because, as the books states,  it shows that Christianity manifests itself – not in any single denomination but as “mere” Christianity, a total force…there is something or a Someone, who against all divergences of belief, all differences of temperament, all memories of mutual persecution, speaks with the same voice.
• When it’s time to relax I watch a movie
• I invest in teens through Youth for Christ because nearly half of Americans who accept Jesus Christ as their savior do so before reaching the age of 13, and two out of three born again Christians made that commitment to Christ before their 18th birthday. http://www.barna.org/barna-update/article/5-barna-update/196-evangelism-is-most-effective-among-kids
