Summary
As a Foursquare Chaplain and leader with 28 years of experience in ministry, I am always searching for more ways to be an effective leader in Christ. I feel a calling to help establish chaplaincy within Foursquare, and to produce more growing leaders on mission together. My goal is to foster a growth culture in FCI to help encourage chaplains to continuously develop. Expanding the spiritual health, FCI mission, vision, and values is a crucial duty that I preform everyday.
