A Willing Yes

From sleeping under church altars in a tiny Montana congregation to launching a new work in Arizona from a park bench and a rented basement, this story traces what God can do with one simple answer: yes. After drifting through his teens, a life-altering encounter with the Holy Ghost in Wisconsin set a new direction that led to Phoenix—where a first service at Faith Temple erupted into a baptism by fire. What followed wasn’t instant glory but steady obedience: bus routes, sixteen years of weekly services inside a juvenile detention center, hospital visits that birthed a calling to nursing, and living-room Bible studies on the White Mountain reservation.When the Lord opened a door to pioneer a church in Prescott Valley, the work began with nothing but prayer, door-knocking, and park services. A travel trailer became home, a basement became a sanctuary, and consistency became a congregation—complete with a small Christian school and new believers finding their footing. This episode is a portrait of faithfulness in slow motion: no shortcuts, no spotlight—just a willing vessel who kept saying yes until yes became a church.
