Hello Steemit community. After having posted 50 articles or so, I have discovered that I should also post an introduction of myself.
My name is Marvin McKenzie. I am a husband, father of two adult sons, and grandfather of five.
Started out my adult life as an ironworker. After trusting Christ as my Saviour, I surrendered to enter the ministry.
Almost 34 years later I have now planted and pastored churches in Colorado, Oregon and Washington State (United States).
I come from very humble beginnings. For this reason I am extremely grateful for the means by which God has provided. I have not pastored huge churches - anything over in average morning attendance is fantastic. But God has graciously met our needs and then some.
I have had the privilege to be the Executive Vice President of two colleges; Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in San Dimas, California and Heartland Baptist Bible College in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In that capacity I was able to travel through many states, preaching the Word of God. However my heart really is in the pastorate so when I received the invitation to become the pastor of Bible Baptist Church in Puyallup, almost eighteen years ago now, I happily accepted that as the will of the Lord.
I write devotional style Bible studies, publish many of the sermons I write as well as chronicle my journey in fitness through cycling.
Having no clue about cryptocurrencies, I will merely leave that in the far background of my thoughts. Hopefully it will begin to make some sense over time.
Always a cowboy at heart! I have owned horses most of my life and used to ride bulls in rodeo events.
