After graduation I enrolled in HAC and graduated in 2004. Christa and I were married in June of that year. Two months later we started traveling to raise money to go to Jamaica as missionaries. We arrived in Jamaica in January of 2006. Shortly after arriving I took the pastorate of a church. 2007 was busy, I resigned my church, Christa gave birth to Tommy and we started another church on June 24th. Our church is now growing and we are seeing God's many blessings each and every week. We host several mission trips each year and are aquiring a primary school later this year. We know many good spots in Jamaica if you are looking for a vacation!

Many of you do not know this story, it happened at my open house for my graduation party. We had a large trampoline out front so that people could jump on it (obviously). Anyways, Valerie Lewis (Morales) came with her family and decided that she wanted to jump on it. After just a few seconds of jumping, she fell off of the trampoline. If I remember right, and I do, she got back up (like a good sport) and started jumping again. Well, as fate had it, she fell off again. To say the least, it was very funny. On top of all that, my mom had the video running and we caught it all on tape. I will get the video and post it on the site if I can figure it out. So keep checking back to see Valerie do her head dive onto the sidewalk! You don't mind, do you Valerie?
