DCRM Director

As a former business owner I have seen a lot of people lose their jobs, homes, sometimes families or get mixed up in a bad situation just to make ends meet. For several years I had it in the back of my mind that when ‘I retire’ I wanted to work with the needy in Decatur.

In January 2006 I had a heart attack which led to open heart surgery.  My eyes became open to the fact that I might not reach retirement.   When the Directorship of DCRM came open, my wife and I  shared the same feeling at the same moment that this is what I should do.  With the support of my family I look forward to the vision of what God has called me to do.

This is a ministry fully funded by donations and funds raised through the Hope’s Attic Thrift Store. God has shown me throughout this position that He is in control, not me, and that this is His ministry, not mine.   Everyday I see His faithfulness to provide.

My prayer is that each person who comes through the Water St Mission and Grace House will see how God has been faithful to provide for DCRM.  And, may they always remember God made a way for them and His faithfulness will always be with them if they just step out and move forward into the vision God has spoken into their lives.
