​"I love being part of the community of Hope, Arkansas, and sharing the Good News, that Jesus loved us first, and it is our job to share that love with whomsoever would be inclined to listen. I feel that it is my duty to fulfil Christ’s commandment to make Christlike disciples in the community of Hope.”​
