Nyree and I were married on July 2, 1994, while attending Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. We have two daughters named Anna and Miriam. Nyree and I are both Ordained ministers with the Assemblies of God. I completed my M.A. in Organizational Leadership from Mid-America Christian University. This program gave me the distinct privilege of learning leadership principles from various sources in the business world and the church. This unique perspective has served me well throughout my ministry and life. Nyree earned her M.A. in Church Ministries as a student at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary and currently serves on staff as a Children’s Pastor.
Objective
I am passionate about equipping leaders for ministry and service in the church, business, and community through training, writing, mentoring, and coaching. My vision is to develop leaders to reach their God-given potential and dreams, fulfill the Great Commission, make disciples of all nations, and follow the Great Commandment to love God and love people. Our family is passionate about missions and enjoys ministry together in the U.S. and abroad. We believe that God has ordered our steps, and we are passionate about following God’s will for our lives.
Experience
Serving the Oklahoma District of the Assemblies of God as the Church Ministries Director with a tremendous leadership team was an honor and privilege. Responsibilities included giving oversight and managing events to facilitate the following ministries: Oklahoma School of Ministry (English/Spanish), District Affiliated Churches, Healthy Church Network, Disaster Response, Prison Ministries, Adult Christian Education, Senior Adult Ministries, Marriage/Family Ministries, Men’s Ministries, Rural Church Initiatives, raising money for the ministry of Light for the Lost and serving on the Presbytery board.
Today, I partner with ministry leaders through coaching, teaching, preaching, and writing. My vision is to encourage, strengthen, and assist the church’s ministry leadership in accomplishing God’s will for their lives, ministries, and churches. I am grateful for the opportunity!
