Thomas Irvin

Born September 24, 1981, in Memphis, TN. I was few days and full of trouble. A stillborn child, I entered this world needing resuscitation. I grew up in Memphis, eventually joining the U.S. Air Force; I escaped the rebellious and the bad city.

I left for boot camp in 2002, and by 2006 I was a civilian defense contractor in Saudi Arabia. In October 2010, I was confronted with my sin and called on the name of the Lord. Romans 5:1-6 was instrumental in my salvation; after a tumultuous life, I desired peace with God,

From there, I took flight to Egypt, where I had the privilege of fellowship with a godly missionary family who taught me to serve the Lord. From Egypt, I moved to Florida for the Bible Baptist Church of Deland. While in Bible school, I took one last defense contract in Afghanistan.

At Camp Leatherneck, I taught the Bible in the chapel weekly. Men from Uganda, Africa came regularly; they were wonderfully receptive. After returning to Florida, my wife and I would take a trip to the Ssese Islands, Uganda.

The work in Uganda is ongoing, specifically in the area of Bible Translation into the Luganda language. My family and I ar enow serving the Lord in Lucedale, Mississippi at Go Forth Baptist Church.
