OBJECTIVE

To join a faculty and or leadership team that has strong camaraderie and collaboration, values ingenuity

and fosters creativity. To participate in a place that offers a platform of influence in the school, faculty and

its student body, offering opportunity for higher career achievement for the institution and those serving it.

RELATED WORK EXPERINCE

Studies Abroad, Israel and Jordan: I had the opportunity to study twice in Israel/Jordan and will be leading

an academic tour in 2011. My Doctoral focus is Christ in His 1st Century context and the church in its 21st

century setting. This upcoming tour will be a critical part of my teaching and learning experience.

Harvard Semitic Museum, Boston MA, 2005-Present I developed an academic relationship with the Harvard

Semitic Museum. Students participating in courses under my instruction at Zion Bible College experience

group tours of the Harvard Semitic Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

The Center for Holy Lands Studies, Galilee Israel, & Springfield MO In the fall of 2009 the Center for Holy

Lands Studies was launched to expose our network of students, teachers, leaders and parishioners to the

physical lands of the Bible. Through study tours, online resources and a physical campus in southern Galilee,

Israel, the center has become the first organization in over 2,000 years with this initiative. I currently am

developing a field manual for tours in Israel as my Doctoral Dissertation while studying under its director,

Marc Turnage, Ph.D. Durham University. Other locations visited by the center are Egypt, Turkey, Greece and

Rome.

Developed College Courses in Ancient Near Eastern Studies & Classical History 2005 Present I

developed an Ancient Near Eastern and Classical History study tract that offers courses like (Ancient Near

Eastern History and Literature (Backgrounds to the Bible), Historical Bible Geography, InterTestamental

History and Literature and Archeology and the Bible. These courses interact with over 4,000 digital images of

Ancient Near Eastern artifacts and sites, with the goal of acclimating students to the historical, cultural and

archaeological settings in theological contexts.

Holy Land Satellite Atlas Project and Pictorial Archive Dr. Richard Cleave is the author of the two-volume

Holy Land Satellite Atlas and interactive flight simulation DVD. His work has been published in Biblical

Archaeology Review and Biblical Archaeologist and is used in academies like Hebrew Union, Oxford and

Harvard. Dr. Cleave invited me into his network of his clients and has granted me access, usage and

distribution of his materials.

Artistic and Cultural Based Learning: In 2007 began development of a course for students to engage life and

culture in a multi-disciplinary and artistic model of learning. In 2008 I taught a course entitled

Communicating through the Arts. We engaged subjects like creativity, attended several art galleries and

gave ownership to the group that produced a 90 min. production. The purpose of this class was not for

developing a course of performing arts but rather empowering students to understand powerful too the arts can

be for communication in all the color and meaning they bring to the truths we attempt to share.

Semiotics, Culture and Theology: I am currently shaping the concepts for a course on semiotics and cultural

study with its theological implication. The course will develop the skills for students to read the cultural signs

(Semiotics), frame them in their message and meaning (Culture) and examine the implication for

communication and thinking they provoke for the church in the 21st century (Theology and Incarnational

Ministry).

RESUME

Committee Member for the Development of the Catalyst Tract, 2005 To remain progressive and maintain

pace with the changing culture, myself and a team of four members, met over a period of several months

developing the Catalyst tract of Zion Bible College; a tract that offers intensive, hands-on experience with

solid academics.

Board of Student Internship for Zion Bible Institute, 2001 I assisted in the development of an internship

program, working in conjunction with four other departments. The result was an internship manual and policy

for all students to complete before graduating with their BA.

Communication Ability and Experience, 1989 Present My passion is to communicate through creative,

culturally relevant and diversified methods that help all people experience God on level ground. I engage

community gatherings through progressive and creative dialogue to enhance resonance and relevance to the

audience.

Teaching Ability and Experience, 1989 Present: I have communicated through teaching to all ages and

contexts for over fifteen years. Some examples are mid-week Bible Studies, New Converts Classes, small and

large group settings and Bible college courses. I have spoken to adults, college students, youth and children in

settings as diversified as retreats, seminars, Sunday services, Side Walk Sunday School and the General

Council of the Assemblies of God in Angola, Africa.

Diversified Experience in Multi-Cultural, Educational, Economic, and Spiritual Settings, 1989 Present

I have had broad exposure and deep experiences ministering to diversified communities. Some examples

include the integration with urban communities of Providence, RI in housing developments, the upper middle

class community of North Providence Church and the upper class of Boston s North Shore Community at

Calvary Christian Church in Lynnfield, MA as well as Zion Bible College in Barrington, RI and Haverhill,

MA. My conviction is that we do not need to wait until heaven for every tribe, nation or tongue to gather as

one voice, now is the time.

A.G. General Counsel Speaker, Angola Africa, 2004 I addressed the General Counsel gathering of pastors

in Angola for one week where over 1,500 ministers were present.

Urban Mission Trips, 1990-Present I have participated in several trips for the purposes of urban outreach

and community service in a church context. Some cities I have traveled to are, Los Angeles, New York City,

Philadelphia, Boston, Bridgeport, Providence, Orlando, Kansas City and St. Louis.
