I owe you a tremendous thank you. Without this scholarship, I would have never begun studying at MABTS. Allow me to encourage you by sharing the work God has called me to do. As you read this, please know that you now play a part in all of this by investing in my life!

I teach Italian full-time and coach three seasons of sports at Memorial High School in West New York, NJ (across the riverfront Manhattan) to about 150 students a year. God has blessed me with countless opportunities to reach young lives in this public school with the gospel. I am even able to help advise the school’s Christian Club! I am also blessed to run the high school ministry at Nazareth Baptist Church, which is located six blocks from my school. I love shepherding the same sheep I see on Sunday morning throughout the week when I see them in the hallways.

Finally, the Lord has recently allowed me to begin preaching every other week at our church.

You are also investing in the lives of my wife and 3-month old daughter, for which I am incredibly grateful. You will only know when you see Jesus the amount of lives your giving has reached with the gospel. Be encouraged, and know that you are very much appreciated!
