“The words passive and leadership cannot be used in the same sentence. Twenty-first century leaders gravitate to desperate need and global vision. I’m committed to a seminary where students are led to humbly serve and confidently trust the Spirit’s empowerment.”
“For over 30 years, my ministry has focused on teaching the Bible, training leaders for ministry, and advocating for the poor in the most desperate places on earth. I joyfully serve an effort that is replicating this passion on emerging leaders who will far surpass my effectiveness in these areas of ministry.”
