I have the wonderful privilege and opportunity of serving as a church ministries representative for The Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry, working in the Midwest. I was appointed to this great work by the board of The Friends of Israel in November of 2018.
My wife Lynnette and I are committed to this vital work, and God has given us a wonderful support team, including 14 local churches and numerous individuals.
Thus far, I have preached and taught for The Friends of Israel in 16 different states (with other ministries in six more states).
I’m honored that you would choose to connect with me on my ministry page and spend some time here. I hope that we can continue to get to know one another. And I hope that you will also consider becoming a Friend of Israel!
