Christian Communicator – Equipper – Apologist

Since 1999, I have fulfilled the calling of God on my life as a minister of the gospel by proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ to thousands of people around the world and by equipping believers in personal evangelism. I have extensive experience in successfully sharing the message of salvation with people from many different worldviews and age levels including atheists, agnostics, Pagans, Muslims, Jews, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, New Age cultists, secularists and so forth. Over 3,00o people have trusted Christ through my work in the field of evangelism. I have equipped and led church evangelism teams into inner-city areas to witness, personally mentored an evangelism team that communicates the gospel in downtown Raleigh, NC on a weekly basis, and taught intentional evangelism principles to large groups of pastors and lay leaders in conference settings. I have served as an Intentional Community Evangelism leader for the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention and as an evangelism conference leader for the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.

Foundation Ministries, Garner, NC: President and Evangelist 1999 – Present I built this non-profit evangelism ministry from the ground up to glorify God and serve as a platform to communicate the gospel of Jesus Christ. Since founding this ministry, I have communicated the gospel and equipped other believers to witness in 11 countries and 16 states in numerous contexts including crusade evangelism, prison ministry, college campus ministry, event evangelism, street evangelism, equipping conferences and one-to-one mentoring. To accomplish this, I had to raise my own ministry support for my livelihood and for the various mission and ministry projects.
