Happy Memorial Day


Get to know Frank Buckles.  He is perhaps the last living American veteran from World War I.  He got in the army by not telling the whole truth about his age.  The marines and navy didn’t buy his story, but he convinced an army recruiter that Missouri didn’t keep birth certificates; so, he got in.  That was in 1917.  He served throughout World War I.  He would also be a prisoner of war for three years during WWII.  You can read all about him here: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/vhp-stories/loc.natlib.afc2001001.01070/

A pastor, professor, and advocate for the persecuted church, I want to encourage us to love Christ's church as He does and give ourselves for her. My official title is Director of the Bachelor of Applied Theology program in the School of Christian Ministries at California Baptist University. However, my heart beats as a pastor. Genuine biblical shepherds are my heroes. Together, we can encourage both shepherds and the sheep.
