Licensed to Preach!

Hi All:

Rejoice with me as I just completed the first battery of exams for ordination! All of my exams were sustained unanimously by the Midwest Presbytery of the Reformed Presbyterian Church North America, and I am now licensed to Preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise God!

-Rob
