What gets you excited about coaching?

Getting to know ministry workers and helping them walk by faith as they develop strong partnerships with their kingdom-minded team. I love celebrating with them as they fulfill their ministry calling.

What's your #1 tip for gaining new funding partners?

Minister to your partners as you involve them in the ministry.

Tell us about a time when you helped someone overcome a significant barrier to successful fundraising.

A woman's husband quickly retired for medical reasons. He had been in charge of the finances and partnerships, and now their ministry account was in deficit. By God's grace, she and I worked together to see her trust the Lord and develop her required skills. God quickly brought her account from the red into a strong surplus as He moved people to generously give abundantly

Where can we find you on the weekends?

Spending time with my family and friends.

Where have you served as a missionary?

I served five years as a city-wide, youth minister, raising my salary and the ministry expenses. I then ministered for almost twenty years in the Middle East, Europe, and the US among Muslims and refugees. I transitioned to coaching people to raise their ministry funds for the past seven years.
