Ordination

Well its official! I'm ordained. Of course we baptists believe that ordination is taught in Scripture but that it merits no saving grace or extra element of God's power or even God's calling upon a soul. It is rather a formal recognition by a local church and group of God called preachers that the Lord has already called a man to preach the gospel of the grace of God. Such was the case for me on April 3, 2008. I was ordained under the Biblical authority of Sandy Lake Baptist Church of Sandy Lake, PA.

The list of men involved were as follows:

1. Pastor Tom Henricks- My faither-in-law of Sandy Lake Baptist
2. Pastor David Barnhouse and Asst. Pastor John Milton- Slippery Rock Baptist Church in Slippery Rock, PA
3. Pastor Brian Lott of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Bessemer, PA
4. Brother Troy Carter Director of Hoiser Hills Baptist Camp in Dillsboro, IN.
5. Missionary Rob Willoughby to Estonia
   
   Praise the Lord for his goodness, and his wonderful works to the children of men! (Ps. 107:8, 15 21, 31)
