Robert's Story

My greatest passion is people!!! All shapes, all sizes!!! It was my interest in P.T., and remains my interest in ministry!!! The absolute funnest thing for me is to guide people through an understanding of what the Bible says, how GREAT God really is, and getting connected on the vertical dimension!!! A distant by comparison second is reaching people through health ministries. Whether is is coordinating Health Expos to be run in conjunction with dental, medical and visual clinic while in church building mission trips in Mexico, OR holding health programs on Weight loss, Fitness for Life, Prevention of C-V disease/cancer/high blood pressure/osteoporosis, healthy eating, etc., helping people learn to be physically healthy has its rewards, esp. if it spins off to wholistic health which includes spiritual health!!! Also, I have missions in my blood & am dying to do more and give more of myself for that cause. Love working with young people at schools, campmeeting, and summer camp!!! LOVE to get out in God's back woods with a back pack on shake some of the stresses ass'd with my work. The back country has got my heart. LOVE being married and marriage maintenance type materials to keep things humming!!! LOVE my wif...Expand for more
