As many of you know, I’ve recently taken a big step of faith. Believing God was calling me as an Evangelist to help Make Known the mystery of the Gospel, I left my full time church staff position. For one year I’ve been traveling and trusting God to open doors for me to communicate Christ creatively as Speaker, Artist & Illusionist. I’m amazed at all God has done in my first year and I give Him all praise!


I’ve been blessed to MAKE GOD’S LOVE KNOWN to 51,700 people in 157 presentations this first year. I’ve seen spiritual transformation as I’ve traveled across this nation. Many children, students & adults have surrendered their lives’ to Jesus Christ. One highlight was partnering with Evangelist Rick Gage and being part of his ministry’s largest crusade ever. I had the privilege of being before 22,000 students during 21 public school assemblies in only 5 days. This took place in one of the largest school districts outside Houston,Texas and we had 600 commitments for Christ at the Crusade. Another highlight was being invited to present at our Georgia Baptist State Youth Camp called SuperWOW. At this event, there were over 1200 students and we witnessed 100’s surrender their lives’ to Jesus. This was the same camp where I surrendered my life to Jesus as a middle school student.

God has also led Amy and I to establish MAKE KNOWN MINISTRIES which is a 501(c)(3) non profit. Our vision for MAKE KNOWN is to help Make Known the mystery of the Gospel. As a traveling Evangelist, I communicating Christ creatively while encouraging the Church, equipping Christians and evangelizing non-Christians. However, MAKE KNOWN MINISTRIES is growing into so much more. I’m excited to announce the launch of our new website in early 2018. This will include a ministry blog, training videos and other great resources. Will you please join us in praying for this exciting ministry expansion & impact? Our heartbeat is “God, use all of me, to help Make Known all of You, to all of them.” MAKE KNOWN has also been able to “Make God’s love Known” by giving $1,000’s to bless so many in need this past year including: hurricane relief in Houston , feeding Haiti orphans, encouraging foster family, help provide for foster children, Christmas shoe boxes, provide Christmas for needy families and many others.

Please consider partnering with us in MAKING GOD’S LOVE KNOWN local and global. We so appreciate your friendship, encouragement and prayers! Your financial contribution helps us Make Christ Known in churches of all sizes especially small ones around our nation that can’t afford travel or honorarium. In spring of 2018, I’ll be going on a Mission Trip to Nicaragua partnering with my Evangelist and Illusionist friend Brock Gill. Your financial support will help send me there to Make Known the mystery of the Gospel in some of the darkest and hopeless places including prisons.
As we quickly approach the end of 2017, your help is needed to see Make Known Ministries finish strong and prepare to Make Christ Known in the year ahead. This year God’s Love was made known to 51,700 people through the ministry of MAKE KNOWN. To God be the glory!
