Family Minister
 | Stephen Morrison
Occupation: Family Pastor & Substitute Teacher
Location: Monett, MO
Favorite Food: Thai Food or Mongolian BBQ
Hobby: Music & Xbox 360
Testimony: I grew up a pastor's child and received Christ at the age of 5. To make a really long story short, I rebelled hard in high school. I lived the party life and used my platform as a pastor's son to distort the message of the Bible to fit my lifestyle. I justified every "gray" moral area I could. Right before my senior year of high school, I redirected my life to Christ and committed myself to the ministry call God had placed on my heart since I was 14. It was a long road back though. Only some things changed my senior year and I almost did not let go of my dream to go to a public college. I tried to convince myself I could study religion and ministry there. I believe other people's prayers are the only reason I applied to MNU and chose to attend. It was literally a last minute decision - I barely beat the deadline! As I engaged in my studies at MNU, each year God broke new ground in my life and transformed into His child, the way I was always meant to be. So, here I am on my very first ministry assignment!

NYI President
 | Dusty Gauss
Occupation:Furniture Sales
Location:Cassville, MO
Favorite Food:Steak
Hobby:Family Time/Work
Testimony:I was saved at a young age, always went to church as a kid never really knowing what it was to be a real Christian. Graduated High School started hanging with the wrong crowd, got into drinking on the weekends, then it started being weekends and a few times during the week. Then before I knew it, it was almost all the time. Still at the same time going to church and trying to act like I was the perfect Christian to the ones I went to church with. Met my loving wife Kasey and she introduced me to her Church family at Monett Church of the Nazarene. I became really great friends with the youth pastor Kevin Jackson, he got me involved with the teens. I still was leading a double life not knowing that God was about to change mine. Finally working with the teens I started seeing my life as God saw it and I realized I was working for the devil, going to Church on Wed. and Sun. and drinking the nights before, my witness was gone. God got a hold of me and woke me up. God is molding me everyday several times he has had to start over, but never gives up. My life would be different without God, he has made me who I am today, when I mess up I try not to give up and keep on working for God because he doesn't give up on me.

Testimony:God took away my need to gamble...even though its been tough...I try to withstand it...through God I can...I am very thankful for everything. My mom used to say when I was complaining "remember I was feeling sorry for myself because I didn't have a new pair of shoes, then I looked over and saw a man without a pair of feet." Be thankful for what you have, because someone else somewhere has it worse than you! The END!!!

Occupation: Body Shop/Car Sales
Location: 2 miles south of Purdy from the gas station on the east side of the road.
Favorite Food: Lasagne
Hobby: Fixing cars used to be my hobby but now its witnessing, encouraging, and winning souls to christ.
Testimony: I was saved at the age of 5. I grew up with a strong Christian mom who brought me up right. When I turned 14 I started hanging around some friends who drank so I started drinking also. At the age of 17 I was introduced to drugs and this continued until I was 21. It was an empty hollow life. On a drive through Fairview I was listening to a Christian radio station. I knew right then that God was what I needed to fill the emptiness in my life. Right then I decided I would LET JESUS BACK into my life.
