Bubba was called into ministry at the age of 16. After high school, he stayed in youth ministry at Des Allemands Mennonite church as a youth leader in 1998, and has been in ministry ever since. While serving in Des Allamands the Lord gave him a vision of breaking down denomination walls and he began working with youth who were Mennonite, Baptist, Catholic, and Assembly of God.  This eventually led him to become an ordained Assemblies of God pastor.  During his years of youth ministry, Bubba absolutely fell in love with Twin Lakes Campground.
