Wife, Laura and I serve as 'domestic missionaries' in the South DFW area to reach outcasted and socially awkward youth and their families that feel like they are 'on the outside looking in,' in the community with the hope of Jesus Christ so they can live on purpose, with purpose in ALL things. We work mainly with the youth and families of home-schoolers in the local community; leading bible studies, and discipleship programs, as well as inspirational speaking. Hang onto Hope Ministries is the passion project of Laura and I, and a registered non-profit LLC, awaiting tax exempt approval.
