I was born in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for several years. Upon graduating from high school I obtained my Red Seal Machining and Millwright tickets (Industrial Mechanic). After several years in the secular world I felt a strong calling to enter vocational ministry. I attended Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia where I received my B.Sc. in pastoral ministries.
While attending Liberty, I realized the tremendous need for solid, conservative, expository teaching of God's Word in Churches. I sensed God's direction to attend Dallas Seminary in Dallas, Texas. It was there that I received a Master's Degree in Theology (Th.M) with an emphasis in New Testament Greek Exposition.
Currently, I am working CRU in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. I am the International Coordinator for Discipleship Training and Development with the Jesus film. It is critical that we teach and train our new pastors and believers in the various countries we work in; Tanzania, Ethiopia, Benin, Togo, Sierra Leone and Liberia. We are budgeting and planning on planting 360 churches around the world in 2019-20. Last year in 2018 over 21,500 people came to Christ through our ministry that's almost 2.5 decisions for Christ, every hour 24 hours, a day 365 days a year! After one year, 64% of the first generation churches that we planted, have started between 1-4 other churches on their own!
The eternal impact of this ministry is immense as this multiplication effect takes place. If you would like your life to count for eternity, please prayerfully consider partnering with us through monthly support. Together we can change the world for Christ!
In His Love
