Aaron
I grew up in a Christian home but had no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I was saved in 1996, at the age of 21. Shortly after my salvation, God began working in my heart about ministry. In 1997, I attended Bob Jones University and graduated in 2000 with an undergraduate degree. I finished a Master’s degree in 2005. I have been traveling in itinerant ministry since 2002. For three years I traveled with the Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team helping to run the teen outreach and children’s program. After Stephanie and I got married in 2005, we began traveling with Will and Christy Galkin. We traveled with them for four years and assisted them with music and youth outreach. In September of 2010, God allowed us to begin traveling itinerantly on our own. Our team is made up of our four children--Ella (9/23/07), Asher (10/4/09), Liam (6/13/11) and Jobe (9/28/2014). "Our desire for churches is that they would be growing in the knowledge and grace of God and actively pursuing relationships around them to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ." |

Many lessons lay on the road ahead, no doubt, but am excited for the opportunity.”
