Pastor Randy has seen God open lots of doors and close some. He believes that each Christ follower is in the ministry to share Christ and to serve others. He enjoys getting people out of their comfort zone and using the talents God has given them. Being involved in some type of missions is where that person will discover the talent that God has blessed them with to serve others
