About Me

  

After seminary, I started a consulting agency to help businesses and to encourage Christians to discover their potential. My programs are enriched by my experiences as a juvenile corrections facility counselor, teacher, pastor, business owner, missionary, and foster parent to more than 70 youth. I have taught this Bible study to thousands on four continents. 

While on mission projects in remote areas of India, I met grass-root level church planters of whom many live on less than one dollar a day, have little or no education, and suffer persecution for sharing their faith. The Lord used this experience to lead me to write the India edition of my book, The Secret of Right Relationships: Overcoming our Old Sinful Habits. I had to change Overcoming Dinosaur Thinking because people with little education living in remote area don’t know about dinosaurs. More than 15,000 grass-root level church planters, evangelists, and church leaders have attended seminars of this discipleship training throughout most of the northern states of India since I first went to India in 2003. 

I was denied reentry into India in 2011. The Indian immigration authorities refused to give an explanation for the decision. But it appears I was reported by radical anti-Christian Hindu officials who saw the growth of local churches after my visits to their areas. I always used a train the trainer model in my workshops in India. When I couldn’t return, the Lord had blessed me with indigenous Indian mission leaders ready to continue the work that the Lord used me as a catalyst to start. 

I am the founder and director of “Disciples for the Harvest” in partnership with 24:14 World. My goal in the USA is to assist you in discovering how God wants you to overcome negative instinctual habits (old sinful bad habits) in order to help you develop healthier relationships. The profit from the sales of my book, speaking fees, and honorariums go to enable my Indian partners to continue the discipleship training in India.
