Pilate Before Jesus: What Will You Do With Jesus? John 18:28-19:16

Kim is a fourth-generation son of Midlothian. He lives on the farm his great-grandparents bought in 1892. Now retired, Kim’s original career was in education. He served forty-four years in Cedar Hill ISD as their Chief Financial/Operations Officer. He began attending MBC in January of 1974–a mere six months after its official founding. MBC only had about 25 people attending at that time! He considers it a blessing and privilege to have served as MBC’s treasurer for many of those years. Although a bachelor with no children, Kim has had the great joy of mentoring many “adopted” sons who help him on his farm. He also serves as a mentor to several awesome Re:Generation participants. After the Savior, the family at MBC is the love of Kim’s life. However, he clings to Revelation 22:20b…”Even so, come Lord Jesus.”
