Mission & Passion
I have served Oklahoma Wesleyan University since 1996. Before coming to OKWU, I taught for eight years at the secondary level. My calling in teaching is to convey a sense of God’s presence and intervention in the affairs of men, the actions that ultimately resulted in the incarnation of Jesus.
Inspiring Verse / Quotation
“But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.” Galatians 4:4-5
“Yet I call this to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23
