Testimonies to Christ, and then disciple some of them one-on-one. The passion that the Holy Spirit birthed within me to disciple others is fulfilled as I meet and build relationships. In 2019, I served as the Chapter Vice President, and then the inter- im Chapter President, and then God opened a new door for my family. My wife, Erica, and I decid- ed that she should pursue her life- long dream of becoming a nurse. As we watched God open and close doors, I sought prayer and counsel through my CMA leadership.

I joyfully document my jour- ney through Facebook and Instagram at CMA Elko Nevada if you would like to follow our jour- ney. This is BB IN THE HOUSE! Ken Schneider, CMA Elko, Nevada.

He rescued me at elven years old at that site and now I was ministering to the lost in the same place. Only God provides and coordinates those type of opportunities. I was mentored by Nevada Area Reps, Dave and Gayle Erickson, and as much as I tried to contain it, I could not stop serving continu- ously because of the fire inside me for the younger generation. I have an incredible desire to see young people come to a saving knowl- edge of Jesus Christ and I am will- ing to walk it out with them. Serving the Lord through CMA has provided me many opportuni- ties to pray with others, lead many
