OPENING SONG

Published by OIL Ministries

Hello everyone, I am Pastor Houston. I currently live in a small, peaceful community located in Southern Mississippi. I am attending Liberty University to learn more about biblical and theological studies of religion. I am now in my fourth senior semester or tenth semester at Liberty University with five majors and one minor. My five majors are biblical and theological studies, apologetics, global studies, evangelism, and Christian leadership, and my minor is in Christian ministries. I have been a pastor now for approximately eight years. Before becoming a small church pastor in south Mississippi, I served as a Lay Evangelist and an elder at a large denominational church for about five years. Outside of ministry work, my previous job was as the owner/operator of a Construction Company, and I also owned a heating, air conditioning, and electrical company. I recently became a licensed Realtor, which will significantly contribute to the ministry work, moving forward with potential evangelism and church planting projects. My construction company has little left because I have dedicated my life to the Lord. I am the CEO/Pastor of a ministry and church serving the Gulf Coast community of Mississippi. In the past, I had three licenses, one currently maintained as inactive status, and I recently obtained my realtor license: State Residential Builder, Master Mechanical Contractor, and Master Electrical Contractor. I have been in construction for about thirty-six years, to share a little more background. Without getting into the details, I have studied various construction areas as a general contractor in its many different trades. As a part of the thirty-six years of construction service, I also served in the US Naval Submarine Force with a terrific engineering group. I am happily married to a godly lady who is a blessing from our God. My wife is from the Philippines, and we have a beautiful daughter together. God has also blessed me with two wonderful sons. I am excited to be here with you all and looking forward to growing together while we learn and discover new and beautiful things. I seek a deeper understanding and a closer relationship with God and His Only Begotten Son, and I pray the same for each of you. The degrees I have chosen, Religion: Biblical & Theo Studies, Apologetics, Christian Leadership, Evangelism, and Global Studies, will do just that, as I am now a Senior with just three classes remaining until graduation! I plan to apply for these Bachelor of Science degrees by building as many churches as possible, spiritually and literally. I am my Lord's servant and plan to put these new degrees to great use. I still have a little way to go from here, with three classes remaining in the Bachelor of Science degree I am pursuing, but I am incredibly excited to be a part of this learning experience with all of you. At this point, I have decided to go all the way with my degree plans at Liberty University and pursue a Master of Arts Degree in Christian Apologetics (Non-Thesis) and have already applied for this degree in the fall of 2023. Following the master's plan will be the Doctoral Degree in Evangelism and Church Planting if God wills. I pray that you will team up in this end-time work with our ministry, and if so, please reach out to us to determine how we might work together in kingdom progress and productivity. May God bless us all as we move forward in our growth and understanding together. Pastor Houston Taylor View more posts
