​

What Excites Ron Most About Serving the Lord Here at ROLBC?

​Brunswick County is growing rapidly as God is gathering people by the thousands to the Carolina shores and the opportunities to share the gospel here are plentiful. Ron has always prayed that the Lord would send him to serve where he could bring God the most glory. God has answered his prayer by sending he and his family to serve here. 

​

Ron's Favorite Super Hero is...

Ron's favorite super hero is Batman because he makes the most logical sense. Batman isn't from another planet, he wasn't bitten by anything, nor did he get his abilities from a radioactive planetary substance. Simply put, it is totally possible to be Batman. You just need a lair, some cool tech and an Alfred. 

​

Ron's Favorite Bible Character is...

Ron's favorite Bible character is David. 1 Samuel 16:7 tells us that God doesn't look on the outer appearance as humanity does, but God looks on the heart. This verse was describing David and God knew fully what sin struggles David would deal with later in his reign as king. David proves that God redeems sinful people. This is why David is Ron's favorite (and they share a musical connection).

Ron enjoys mountain biking, hunting (especially upland birds), and training his sporting dogs
