Ministry Skills, Gifts, and Qualifications

We have served as pastors, missionaries, and educators since 1965.

Ron has experience in training pastors in a ministry of prayer, fasting, spiritual disciplines, Christian Family, and public ministry. He has a B.Th., an MA in Missiology, an M.Div., and a Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies. From 1996-2006 he trained missionaries and pastors in ministry at Oral Robert University’s School of Theology and Missions, the world’s largest Pentecostal/Charismatic seminary.

Char has a BA in Religious Education, an MA in Missions, and an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership with an emphasis in distance education. She is a women’s ministry leader, a Bible teacher, and instructs how to study the Bible.

Though we have academic qualifications, yet we believe the more important qualifications for ministry are character issues and spiritual power and insight, along with spiritual disciplines, such as a good work ethic, and fasting and prayer. The Lord has been preparing us for many years to be spiritually and academically qualified, helping us become a cost-effective mobile two-person team of educators/trainers. After three years in Africa we still feel this way.
