He was extremely dedicated to the sign language programs with the church, so much so, he took two semesters for just that in 1993 at T.C.J.C. He did the bus ministry for 25 years which goes hand in hand with the senior adult ministries that he so deeply cared for. He made two mission trips to Venezuela and had a helping hand in being a light in so many young lives. In later years, he has taught Sunday school class as well. Amongst his own battles throughout life, he held a few different scriptures dear to him that helped him overcome so much; (KJV) Colossians 4:5-6; Psalms 46:1-3; Romans 1:16; Philippians 4:4; Philippians 4:13
