MISSION STATEMENT:
Matthew 28:19-20: Carry out Jesus Christ's "Great Commission:" to be the publicly visible "salt-and-light" (both online and in-person) that brings the Gospel (Good News) to a lost-and-dying, dark world.
VISION STATEMENT:
1 Peter 4:10: To use the two spiritual gifts God gave me--computing (being online and working audio-visual (A/V) for churches) and motorcycling (in-person through the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA))--to "plant good seeds" via sharing the Gospel, listening to others in need and praying with them in order for God to "give the increase" (work on their heart) to open their eyes and accept the eternal gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
TESTIMONY:
- I am in the camp of "I don't know exactly when and where I was saved," as I was raised in a loving Christian family who read the Bible as a family, daily, because my mom's physical limitations didn't allow her to sit for an hour, in church.
- I was baptized at birth and, like many children growing up, didn't look forward to Bible time. Hence, not sure if I was saved. However, I felt a calling to go to church in my Air Force ROTC days in college and getting involved grew from there.
- A year before college graduation (July 1997) is when I felt the calling to build this website. After graduation, I sought membership in my first church in Alamogordo, New Mexico, where I established their A/V program and volunteered to be publicly baptized and proclaim Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. After is where I discovered--unplanned--the CMA, where I saw a rider wearing the backpatch and I had to flag him down on my first motorcycle (which I discovered--unplanned--my interest in "two wheels" just a year prior, in tech school).
- From there, I got further involved in both, in future Air Force assignments, to this day (where, joining the Air Force was also unplanned until I hesitantly signed up for this high school elective called "Air Force Junior ROTC").
- As a Saved Christian, the questions of "why was I born," "what is the meaning of life" and "how does the story end?" are among the easiest in life to answer:
- I was born to carry out the above Mission and Vision Statements, made possible by learning the top talents God gave me
- The meaning of life is to fear God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13) through the greatest commandment, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31)
- And the story ends with my knowing where I will go if I "die tonight" ... and that Jesus has overcome the world (John 16:33) where, in the end, both good and evil will be judged, the earth will pass away and a new earth and Jerusalem will be where God and his people will dwell together forever, with no more death, crying or pain (Revelation 21:1-4).
