Today listen to my interview with Thomas, he's a cop and a Christian. The police have been getting a lot of bad press lately and it seems we never get to hear the positive side of law enforcement. I asked Thomas some hard questions like, how do you feel when you have to shoot a person? How do you reconcile your faith in Christ and killing someone? Do you have to arrest everyone who commits a crime or give everyone a ticket you stop on the road.  Has your time as a police officer jaded you? How can you have a joyful spirit and deal with the dark side of life all the time. He gave unbelievable answers and he truly does his job in the Spirit of Christ. So listen and enjoy the heart of God in a man of law enforcement>

They have four daughters; two natural and two spiritually adopted.  Michael was saved out of a lifestyle of drugs, gambling, womanizing and just living a full on immoral life.  He was just a young arrogant punk when Jesus saved him on the night of February 21st, 1980.  That was the night Jesus delivered him from all of his addictions, made him his child, and called him to be a minister.  Terrill was saved when she was 12 years old.  While living in Holland her friend gave her the book “Prison to Praise.” She read it, said the prayer at the end of the book, was saved, and began her new life in Christ.  They love to spend time with their daughters and their husbands playing board games, watching movies, eating out (they are all foodies), traveling the world, working out (Michael does anyway), and spending time entertaining friends.  Terrill is an animal lover and the owner of 20 Alpacas, 30 chickens, two pigs and two goats.  She sheers the Alpacas for their fleece, which she sells to support other missionaries. Michael has recently gotten involved in the movie industry as an actor and background player.  Mike says, “ Living for Jesus is so wonderful that everyday feels like a Saturday”!
