Bob is dedicated to sharing the joy, love, and fulfillment that comes from having a real relationship with Jesus. " I lived my first 33 years without Jesus in my life and was always searching for ways to make me happy, not to feel so empty all the time. I found what I was searching for in a personal relationship with Jesus. I want others to know the hope, love, and peace that can be found in Jesus.”
