?         What are you most excited about in your area of ministry?

o   The best part of my job is working with Pastor Dwayne. It has been great to learn from a seasoned pastor. I have gained much wisdom from serving at Open Door under his leadership. I also have really enjoyed serving NACPF church planters at the Unite conference. I am thankful for their hard work and sacrifice for the sake of our great Savior and his glory.
