He continued his ministry training thru his home church, studying Discipleship Two, Discipleship Three, Leadership Training, and Sons of the Faith.

He has had the opportunity to participate in foreign mission trips to Belize, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Albania, Zambia, Morocco and India; as well as participate in Discipleship Training seminars with several churches in Alabama.
