We are continuing our series on getting to know your church leaders a little bit better. Read along to learn more about Aaron Myers, who just joined our Deacon Council.
Where were you born, and do you still consider that home, or somewhere else?
I was born in Terre Haute, IN, and after 19 years in the Air Force and many moves we now consider New Mexico home.
What did you want to be when you grew up – and is that still a dream?
A pilot, the Lord has blessed me so much and has given me many opportunities to fly. Still love it.
What or who was your earliest spiritual influence?
My Mom, Brenda.
How and when did Christ call you to Himself?
Age 13, burning brush on the farm in Indiana. The fear of the Lord and great conviction fell on me to the point I could not sleep for several nights.
What is a scripture you often read or share with others?
Ps. 37:4: Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
What is a special answered prayer you’ve received from the Lord?
Throughout my Air Force career I have had crossroad decisions to make. Take the easy path and coast, or go after the “giants”. Every time I go after the “giants” knowing full well that I cannot do it on my own, the Lord does what is impossible for me. The blessings are always great.
What will be a blessing and what a challenge you see as serving as deacon?
It will be a blessing to serve others in a higher capacity. It will be a challenge to stay proactive, at least until I get my feet under me as a deacon.
What are your hobbies and how did you get into them?
Anything outdoors: hiking, fishing, boating, biking, flying, and hunting. Growing up on a farm while being homeschooled presented me with many outdoor opportunities. I think the full nature emersion at a young age got me into the outdoor hobby.
What is your favorite family tradition?
Summer trips to see extended family.
How do you enjoy spending a day off?
Completing a task that I cannot during work hours; i.e., home chores, family or friend needs, etc.
What is the perfect meal?
Steak and baked potato.
Who or what never fails to make you laugh?
The Three Stooges.
We asked Snezhana:
What is your favorite trait of Aaron's?
Aaron is very kindhearted. He is compassionate towards others. He is also very loyal and courageous. He is actually a very good hunter, although very humble and doesn’t think the same, but trust me he is a great hunter!
What does Aaron do that can always make you smile?
His laugh makes me smile and laugh. He has such a contagious laugh that when you hear it, it will make you laugh with him. And I love when he spends time with the boys - that makes me smile too.
