In 2009 something happened that has truly changed my life. A group of men in the church I was serving had a vision for investing their pastor and sending him and his wife on a trip to the land of Israel and to send us alongside another seasoned leader so that I could be both inspired and sharpened. I have personally benefited from that experience in ways they could not have imagined. It has literally shaped my life and ministry. Now I would like to pay it forward. That is why I have developed the CATALYST SCHOLARSHIP.
