‘Essential topics to help you have a fruitful ministry’

At the age of 18, I felt God’s call to be ‘fruitful’ in His kingdom. For me, this meant leading people to Jesus and helping them grow in their relationship with Him.

Initially I went to a Bible College, then Baptist Theological College for extra training and later multicultural studies. For over 40 years including overseas ministry, I have served as a minister in several denominations including acting as a general and multicultural advisor across Baptist churches of New Zealand. During my retirement years I also had the privilege of living and working in Asia for two years as the Director of a Christian aid organisation.
I am still active in ministry including leadership coaching and mentoring.
Pam (my wife) and I live in Darwin, Australia.
