• Reason for Being at USA

  To Love these kids into Christ

• One Paragraph Life Story

  I (Tim) grew up in the Union Springs area around USA. Once Christ became the essence of my life and turned the bad experiences into positives, introducing young people to Jesus became a passion. After many years of trying to get a position to minister here at USA, the Lord opened the door five years ago and I began teaching on a part time basis. That opportunity has developed into a full time ministry to the young people here at USA. I didn't understand the Lord's timing all those long years of waiting, but now I see clearly with the change in the program and all the factors that come to play, God knows exactly what he's doing, his timing is perfect. I know I'm called to be here and ask your prayerful support for the wisdom and energy to be faithful to that call and purposeful to my mission- to love these kids into Christ.
