My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I have always believed in God, and that Jesus died for my sins, But i ws not a christian. August 17th 2007 my friend ran a red light and I wasnt wearing a seatbelt. A car broadsided my side of the car and I hit the windshield with such force the that i was told there was a chance I wouldn be able to walk well if at all again. God seemed to have other plans for me. I wass able to walk out of the hospital assisted within a few days and admited myself into the VA hospital. I checked out from there and for months wass unable to get around very well. i lost everything and realized that God hass a way of humbling you. i spent the next 2 years drawwing and praying. i still had not truelly founbd God even though I thought that i had. The wreck was the beginning of my salvationn and in losing everything material I gained everything that I hadnt known I lost. i am a struggling artist now because I took a leap of faith and have decided that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. But not for just mainstream comics because they have lost all sense of moorals and ethics. i want to be able to bring Christian based characters and her's to life and give young beleivers hero's that have form and value. God hass seen me this far and After trying to do it my way for so long I have decided to let him handle..I will just foollow.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
To write and illustrate my own christian themed comic..for any company. I have the stories I have the story boards. i need the guidance to go further
Favorite Comic Creators:
used to be Todd McFarlane and Jim Lee, I havent followed them in a while so I will have to go further back to the days of Jack Kirby and Joe Kubert

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
