My calling to preach the Good news
The journey of the “DMV Baptist Church” began in 2023 when I felt a profound calling into ministry. This calling was first voiced during a church social gathering by a dear friend, Mrs. Kathy. While sharing a meal with my wife, Mrs. Kathy, and other friends, she suddenly, and with heartfelt emotion, asked me, “Have you thought about becoming a Pastor?” Her words, delivered with such passion and near tears, caught me off guard. My initial response, accompanied by a chuckle, was a straightforward, “No!”
Later, I shared this encounter with my pastor, Steve Grissom. To my surprise, he revealed that he had also been contemplating discussing this very topic with me. After several meaningful conversations with Pastor Steve, I began to pray earnestly about this possibility. As I sought guidance, the Lord started bringing to mind various experiences and situations from the past 24 years. The more I prayed, the clearer the path became.
In the months that followed, I took a leap of faith and applied to a small church, trusting in God’s plan for the journey ahead. As I surrendered to the idea that God could—and has—used people like me in the past, it became increasingly clear that His call for me to preach was genuine and purposeful.
