About Me: My wife Janet and I are developing a church planting project in Berkeley, California under appointment from (AoG) US Missions and the Northern California-Nevada District. We pastored three churches (one Boomer, one Builder, one GenX) in the 80's and 90's. Then from 2001 to mid-2007 I directed Doctoral Studies at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri, USA, where I taught leadership, communication/preaching, and mission in emerging culture. Also, we've spent several years on the road studying innovative congregations and leaders who are attempting to do mission in the 21st century. My other main interest is writing, with my second book in the works right now.
