Pastor Tim Trier - See www.lightandlife.net for full bio & Photos.
Thirteen years ago my wife, Jervaun and I, had a radical transformative experience within 24 hours of each other! This salvific event was followed by God's call to pastoral ministry. I heard it as, "I'M CALLING YOU TO BE A PASTOR." Yeah it was loud and initially my understanding was primitive, but as my identity in Him matured, we became transformed into new creations and His people. Our lives were reconciled to each other, to God, and through the Church, put back together. LIfe and marital transformation, Amazing!. It is a specific area where Jervaun and I have helped many others. Having experienced His salvation first hand, we set out to help others do likewise in the corporate world, as small business owners, director for a mission's organization, worship leaders, missionaries to Ethiopia, pastors, and in everyday crazy ordinary life.
Transformation: We live that out in our lives; serving Christ, His Bride and this world in an effort that people's lives would become transformed by the overflowing power of Jesus Christ. He is the greatest change agent in the world. We desire that together we would be His people and He our God. It’s the reconciliation business of bringing people to wholeness. It's kingdom work for His glory. We love it!
Our kids Juliette and Timmy have joined us as we have trotted the globe; over 100,000 land/air miles the past 10 years through California, Ethiopia, Texas, Kenya, Sudan, Colorado, New York, Mississippi, Mexico, and Georgia. We have finally landed in Colorado and there is no place like home (ruby red slipper heel-click).
When we are not on a scary taxi ride or watching movies in a cramped plane seat, I like to train for triathlons, play golf, and hang with my Ethiopian dog "Buddy". We enjoy cooking and watch "Chopped" and the "The Walking Dead" in preparation for the zombie apocalypse. If World War Z occurs or until Jesus returns, see the Trier's. We're good to go.
