MINISTRY PERSPECTIVE
I believe the Lord is leading me to be a team player on a church staff or Christian organization where I
can exercise my Bible teaching skills, relational evangelism gift, and managerial background. I envision myself
training prospective leaders by enhancing their Biblical knowledge, public speaking skills, and evangelistic &
discipleship abilities. I hope to a vision for foreign mission, and prepare candidates for service.
I believe the purpose of the Church is to equip the saints for the work of ministry. This is accomplished
by holding faithful to the inerrancy of Scripture, and relevantly teaching it s principles as the final authority of
faith and practice. The church should be healthy, vibrant and spiritually reproductive through regular
involvement in lifestyle evangelism. It should be a place where sinful people can experience unconditional love
and the fullness of God s grace. Developing disciples should discover their spiritual gifts, and have the freedom
to exercise them regularly by the power of the Holy Spirit whereby they discover their ultimate calling and
purpose in life.
MINISTRY MISSION
I want to assist a Church or Christian Ministry fulfill the Great Commission through relevant evangelistic
preaching & teaching, and by transforming believers in Jesus into fully developed, reproducing disciples of
Christ, here and around the world.
PERSONAL BACKGROUND
Childhood: I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan as the fifth of six children in a Catholic family. I grew up
loving & playing all sports. I loved to compete, and had a fair degree of natural ability. I worked from a
young teen through High School, first throwing newspapers, then delivering pizzas.
Conversion: During my Senior year in High School, I began searching for meaning and purpose in my life, In the
summer of 1971, I heard a clear presentation of the Gospel, and trusted Christ as my personal Savior. I
experienced the forgiveness of my sins, and assurance of my salvation. That Autumn, I entered Michigan
State University and got involved with the Navigator s- an on campus Christian organization. Through
four years of involvement, I became established in my faith, and developed some discipleship habits
(daily Quiet time, memorizing Scripture, and sharing the Gospel regularly). I acquired some basic
ministry skills and sensed a call to ministry developing.
Calling: A paragraph on how God called you into ministry. During my college years, through attending two
Summer training program s sponsored by the Navigator s, I made a Lordship decision. I sensed a
distinct call that I would one day serve Him as a Missionary After graduating with a Business degree, I
took my first job with the A.C. Nielson Co., doing marketing research. This resulted in a move to
Dallas, Texas. After two years of working in the business world, and active local church involvement,
my desire to pursue a career in ministry resurfaced. Through wise counsel, I applied to Dallas
T heological Seminary. During those five years of preparation, I sensed a strong confirmation from the
Lord to pursue a career in Missions, which came to fruition in 1985.
Marital
Commitment: My wife and I married on July 6, 1985. We met as university students in 1974. We were both involved
with the Navigator s on our campuses. After both of us pursuing graduate degrees, and having strong
callings to serve the Lord in Missions, we sensed the Lord s unique leading us together as husband and
wife. We moved to Vienna, Austria in November of 1985. We have been married for 23 years now, and
have two adults sons, who were born while we served a s Missionaries.
Valerie was born in Nashville, Tennessee. She graduated from Indiana University in 1976, and earned a
Master s degree in Counseling from Butler University in 1980. She also attended Denver Seminary to
fulfill missionary requirements. Her primary strengths are in teaching, prayer, and music. She is a gifted
vocalist, participated in Women s ministries through our local church, and overseas mission trips, as well
as coordinated & led prayer groups- ranging from National Day of Prayer to long term involvement with
Mom s in Touch.
HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
My hobbies are to lead overseas missions trips that involve Pastoral leadership development through teaching the
Scriptures. I also enjoy personally sharing the Gospel as the Lord gives opportunity. I like staying current with theological
issues, particularly in the Free Grace movement. In addition, I am a fan of professional and college sports of all kinds-
football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and golf. I also enjoy participating regularly with golf, snow skiing, bowling and
exercising.
