I’m right here @ the Maricamp Road Church of Christ! Today was my second official day on the job here, and I can’t thank God enough for the amazing opportunity that He blessed me with here in Ocala. Since you might be scratching your head at this point, let me tell you a little about myself.
My name is John “Beef” Branard, and I am the new youth minister here at Maricamp Road. I am originally from Merritt Island, FL, and I recently graduated from Oklahoma Christian University in May. I am 22 years old, enjoy short walks on the beach (as long as I have my surf rod and some bait), any and all sports (GO GATORS), music, and spending time with all kinds of people. My passion is communicating God’s love to kids. I can’t begin to express how excited I am to be working at Maricamp Road.
Now that you know just a little bit about me, I will introduce the weekly blog segment where I get to share a piece of my heart and mind with you – Beef’s Kabobs. Keep checking the website weekly for new posts. I’d also like to encourage anybody involved in the youth group (as well as those who would like to get involved in any way) to check out the Youth Group section of the site.
I’d like to close by letting you know that I’m here to serve the youth group, the congregation at Maricamp Road, the city of Ocala, and Jehovah. If I can do anything to help you or if you’d like to sit down over coffee and share life, please let me know. My office is open M,T,W,F from 9-12 and 2-4. You can shoot me a message in the boxes below. Teen or not-so-teen, I’d love to get to know ya.
God Bless and Be Holy,
John “Beef” Branard
