Welcome!
I'm so thankful for your visit to my web site! It's a work in progress, just like our lives. Personally, I aim to constantly grow, learn, and explore new vistas of opportunity to love and glorify God as well as serve others. In fact, that describes well why I decided to start this site. The older I get, the more I desire to share with others a little of my journey with Christ.
​
As indicated in the menu, you'll discover on this site more about our ministry of pastoral training in Africa, my personal blog on biblical and theological topics, our monthly updates, as well as further information concerning my two published works: Life with a Limp: Discovering God's Purpose in your Pain (Vide Press, 2022) and God's New Humanity: A Biblical Theology of Multiethnicity for the Church (Wipf & Stock, 2012). Thanks for your visit!
