I have been incredibly blessed these last twenty-two years here at In His Steps Christian Homes. I can only attribute it to our Lord Jesus. Matthew 6:33 “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you”. This is my life verse. The ministry’s desire and main goal is walking in the steps of Jesus Christ. He is the way the truth and the life. It’s God’s truth that has allowed us to see so many victories in the life of the residents of IHS throughout the years. We began in November 1995 in a older farm house hoping to help four people. At the time I was attending UCSD alcohol and drug counseling classes. My plan was to finish the certification and work with the addict and alcoholic. But God had another plan the ministry began with one home and today we have 5 homes. When Greg Roderick and I began to work full time I was the Care Minister at Ramona First Baptist which is now Mountain View Community Church. I completed the UCSD certification and found everything that works in the recovery of men and women is found in the Word of God. We have seen such remarkable success in the resident beyond tolerable recovery; a full life, returning mothers and fathers to their children. What a blessing it is to see the families reunited at their graduation. We are in constant thankfulness that the Lord has blessed the ministry and allowing us to be a part of His work.

My wife Linda is a essential part of this work, She has been our financial officer from the very beginning. What a blessing she has been to me and our 5 children, and 13 grandchildren. She is one of the first graduates of the Faith Bible Institute. Linda is our Co- Founder along with  Pastor Greg Roderick and myself. She also serves as our main Healing Prayer Counselor.

In His Steps has had a miraculous amount of community support along with six churches that support us. I can’t thank you enough to all our supporters.   We wouldn’t have seen such success without you. We have 15 classes’ at the men’s and 15 classes’ at the women’s homes every week. Most of the teachers have been with us for many years. I Thank God for my 32 years of sobriety. Only God can do this. Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Don’t give up I always say, as long as there is breath there’s hope.
