John's five years as the Associate Pastor at Wynne Chapel included working with the Youth, leading worship in the 8:00 a.m. service with "Reflection" and filling in for the senior pastor when needed. He enjoys songwriting, produces the recordings for “Reflection,” works with sound systems, enjoys graphic design and web site development. But most importantly he enjoys working for the Lord. In 2006 he went on a 2 week mission trip to Ecuador where they built a church and erected a portable chapel. In April/May of 2008 and August/September 2009, he went back for 2 week trips to Riobamba, Ecuador to work on a district center for the area churches. He is a member of the Christian Motorcycle Association as well as Bikers for Christ.

John wrote a daily devotional, called the WORD, for two and a half years which he published on 6 websites including our own blog, but has pared that down to a weekly project. He is currently working on expanding the SPRING Student Center ministry in the area we live and involving area churches and young people to carry the work on. The SPRING serves kids between the ages of 12 and 19. John is the founder and President of R & R Ranch.
