Personal narrative:
God has blessed me with some unique opportunities for ministry, and the opportunity to help develop the College of Christian Studies has been one of the most remarkable events of my life. Much of my ministry has been devoted to training and resourcing pastors and church leaders, and now we have the chance to develop one of the premier programs in the nation for equipping the next generation of Kingdom leaders.
