No Longer a Caterpillar

What has LCU meant to me? All I can say is “transformation for my life.” You know how the caterpillar has to go to the cocoon stage for 5-21 days? After it comes out, it is no longer a caterpillar – it becomes a beautiful butterfly, and that’s how I can describe LCU. I may have come in as a caterpillar spiritually in a lot of areas, but after sitting under the anointing of anointed professors…butterfly!

The Bible says, “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” When your friend has you taste some ice cream, and once you taste it, you get hooked. Before you know it, you keep going on and on.

Well, that’s just like what you get at LCU, because for the first class you don’t have to pay anything; you just come and taste. Glory to God! You just come and taste! I promise you, the first time you taste the Word of God, you’re going to be hooked. You’ll come back and back and back, because Jesus is going to fill you with so much Word.

You know the Spirit of God and the Word of God; they bear witness together. Having just the Word and no Spirit is dangerous, and just having the Spirit and no Word is dangerous. Glory to God, when you have the Word and the Spirit, you’re a force to be reckoned with. This is what God has given me coming to LCU.

I discovered my God-given passion

I started LCU because I knew there was a call on my life and I needed to begin preparation. That was all I knew, however, during my time at LCU, I discovered my God-given passion. I began teaching at the women's prison campus as well as the Brooksville campus and I love it.

The program is accelerated because of the way the classes are lined up — the students learn precept upon precept — line upon line.

I love LCU and am so thrilled to be part of planting these solid truths into the hearts and minds of the men and women of God.

To know and share these truths is the driving force of my life

The great teachings from the Word of God, so masterfully taught by LCU's professors, are my greatest joy. To know and share these truths with my brothers is the driving force of my life.

I now serve as Volunteer Chaplain at Arizona State Prison Complex in Kingman. This facility houses approximately 3500 inmates. We (the Holy Spirit and me) started a Bible study in the summer of 2011, with about 6 men. On Easter of 2013, I preached the Risen Christ to over 300 men, and many of them received Jesus as their Lord and Savior! Glory to God!

The effect this ministry has had upon our home church is powerful as well. My wife, Diane, serves right by my side in the prison. We have brought over 40 members of our church into the prison with us. We have water baptized 28 inmates. I am often asked by our church members, "When are we going back to the prison?" They tell me, "I could feel God's presence so strongly while we were there."

Thank you, LCU! Your dedication to the Word of God is transforming lives.

God graciously allows me to learn His Word in such great magnitude

I have accomplished more than I would ever imagine! If you had told me in 1990 that by 2017 I would be studying to receive my doctorate degree, I would have probably said, "I don't think so!"

I find that my ability to speak to God's people has increased over the last 5 years and I believe my best testimony is that lives that are being set free and changed because of the gift God put in my life to share His Word that I have learned at LCU.

God graciously allows me to learn His Word in such great magnitude it is just so amazing. I have been so wonderfully blessed. And I know that greater things are yet to come.
