| Introduction | In 2013 I received the PhD from Trinity Theological Seminary in Christian Counseling. In 2008 I completed an MA in Biblical Counseling with Trinity Theological Seminary. Currently I am serving as pastor for Sycamore Grove Mennonite Church, Garden City, MO. My wife, Barb, and I have been certified to teach English as a second language, with the goal to teach in China. Now that we have visited China, we see tremendous need and unbelievable opportunities. For anyone who desires to be used of God in China, and who is willing to play by the rules, there is almost unlimited freedom to serve. I haved served on the Board of Education for the Harrisonville Christian School. I am now certified with the National Association of Nouthetic Counselors, the International Association of Biblical Counselors, and am also a member of the Association of Biblical Counselors. Past education includes a diploma from Frontier School of the Bible, LaGrange, Wyo; Calvary Bible College, B.A., and business admin classes at Johnson Co Comm College. |
