I absolutely love the (global) church of Jesus Christ!! Throughout our 20-year journey of being followers of Christ, God has used the "church" to shape, love and grow us in amazing ways. My passion for serving Gods global purposes has been largely affected by being involved in the community and mission of the local church. I have discovered that the more I give myself to the purposes of His church (community, transparency, mission, loving outrageously) the greater the joy and contentment I experience. I consider it a great thrill to be part of Christ Fellowship/SLNI and often tell friends and neighbors, "I love my church!" I love the people, the mission and sense of destiny that comes from being part of God's church in Ft. Worth.
Jacque and I attended the inaugural Sunday service of Christ Fellowship ('93) and have been serving ever since that day. We began our involvement as Cell Interns, and Life Group leaders. We've enjoyed serving in various roles over the years and are grateful for the privilege of serving as Shepherds. We deeply love the people of Christ Fellowship, as well as the wonderful team of Shepherds that we have the honor of serving with.
Love others the way God has loved me!! Love people in a way that helps them see and experience the love of God. Encourage people to believe God for the impossible. Disciple and empower believers to become strong men/women of God. Be available to listen and love the discouraged and brokenhearted. Help create a culture of passionate worship to God!
Help disciple men/women to plant churches globally. Help people smile and laugh along the journey :-)
I met my breath-taking bride, Jacque, during our time at ACU. After catching my breath from her first sighting, I nervously asked her for a date...That first date has been going for over 25 years :-)
Occasional Weekend getaways and laughing hysterically at one another :-o
Todd: The best thing about my spouse is that she is a passionate follower of Jesus who amazes me with her unending love for people.
Jacque: Everything!...Along with being very generous, he's a funny guy who can always put a smile on my face. He doesn't take himself too seriously and he enjoys life to the full.
