There’s nothing special about me. I just believe God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people. “God draws straight lines with a crooked stick.” - Martin Luther. That pretty well sums me up.
God got a hold of my wife and I when we were both 28 and he led us into ministry. I served 7 years as a pastor in the United Methodist Church and during the last year God did a work in my heart lead me out of the church for something different. He gave me a heart to reach people who did not have a relationship with Jesus Christ and what he would have me to do would be on the Internet.
A short time later I blessed with the opportunity to develop SermonCentral, to take it from a bunch of links on html pages to a searchable database driven website where pastors could upload their own sermons. We developed a subscription module to fund this ministry, and it continues to serve 10’s of thousands of pastors each month world wide.
