When I think back to the profound ways God has provided for us at First Baptist in Ojai, near the top of the list is Zac and Jess Cannon.  On a Sunday morning not long after we started ministry here, the church phone rang and I was greeted by what sounded like English but was really Virginian.  Zac dispensed with pleasantries and got right down to asking doctrinal questions:  “What do you believe about…” I must have answered mostly correctly, because they attended the worship service that day and have been a fixture in our church family ever since.  

Since their arrival, God has changed Zac’s path from movies to ministry.  Rather than merely telling stories, Zac is communicating The Story.  Zac has a special ability to go beyond entertaining students to actually discipling them.  He and Jess are having a profound impact on the lives of my children.  I thank God for that day the church phone rang.  I am blessed to call him teammate and friend.
